MyMovies.Net Update
Hi there, I assume that you've got lost again you poor soul and found yourself face-to-blog with my weekly filmic diatribe. Gawd bless ya. Whilst you're here I may as well regale you with past indiscretions for the week.

First up on this smorgasbord of evil is "Vantage Point" - a would-be political assassination told 'Roshomon' style, weaving together several different takes on the action from individual points of view...hence 'Vantage Point'. A marketeer's wet dream! These Hollywood suits really do know what they're doing. Pity then that the cast and crew don't. "Vantage Point" suffers from what I'd like to call a bad 'case of the Clown Shoes'. The Secret Servicemen here act as if they're patrolling the local beat in Sidcup and the motiveless baddies are as inept as they are pointless - having staged the grandest attack ever seen would you really risk it all by swerving to avoid a little girl standing in the middle of road?!!!!!! That's not a spoiler people as I hope that none of you will be bored enough this weekend to actually watch it! But, on a lighter note, check out our featurette featuring Brit director Pete Travis - our interview is better than the actual movie. True story.

If you fancy watching something half good then you'd be better off catching "The Other Boleyn Girl". The Tudor drama of Henry VIII, his roving cod-piece and propensity to part people from their heads, is particularly well stocked with the likes of Eric Bana in the lead and the lovely Scarlett Johanson and Natalie Portman. And to mark the Royal Gala Screening of "The Other Boleyn Girl", we were allowed out of the office to interrogate/molest/quiz/terrify/distract/lovingly caress/make cry/Love in a Time of Cholera/ask questions of/ (delete where appropriate) the stars at the Red Carpet. And here the lovely stars are for your beatification.

Now, to end on a high...or at least end on a slightly less melancholic note...I present to thee the new shiney "Iron Man" trailer.
