I'm not convinced a telepath could be found who would be willing to read your mind.

It was called Thoughtcrimes and had me absolutely riveted. I suspect it was actually made as a feature length pilot for a series that never happened, which is a pity because it would have been awesome.

It wouldn't impress rusty or GreyWolf, but for most who want to be entertained rather than intellectually stimulated it was pretty decent.

Edit: WTH? Autocorrect on my iPhone just changed "rusty" to "tutu." :shock:

Well I enjoyed it all those years back on DVD, not one for SABC films, but this weekend had for a change some movies worth watching...

I finally got to Saw 3D.....enjoyed it as much as the first one, I always wondered what happened to the doctor in the first movie...Oooh I really really enjoyed the opening scene.....

Also got around to, Law Abiding Citizen 10 thumbs up, really worth watching.

Nothing worth watching tonight, going to watch an old classic, Space balls...

Going to watch Lord of the Rings Trilogy Blu-ray Extended edition tonight (well, I'm gonna try). The picture and sound quality is amazing, it's like I haven't seen any of the films at all.

I think it's mah 3G connection. It's like if it doesn't post within a certain time it tries again and then ends up posting it twice. And Tapatalk doesn't give me the ability to delete posts, only edit them.

At least that's my theory, since no one else seems to have been struck by The Plague of the Double Post.

Alternatively, it could be one of iRon's evil plots, but it strikes me as somewhat too mild for that.

I saw shorts for Thor and Green Lantern at the cinema's this weekend.
Looks like light on plot, heavy on action fare. Definitely on my must-watch list.

Although this is Ryan Reynolds last chance at comic book adaptations. I still haven't forgiven him for what he did to Deadpool!

To be fair, it wasn't his fault the script writers killed off one of the best characters in the x-men universe.

If I remember correctly, the Deadpool in the movie is the product of merging two other characters, including the original Deadpool, or something like that. Maybe they'll give him a proper run in another movie in the franchise.

PS: Also watched Spaceballs again the other day. The memories!

I watched The Lazarus Project over the weekend. Very cool film. Intriguing story that keeps you interested till the end, if slightly slow paced at times. Worth the Watch

Yeah, was checking the release date on that yesterday! :)

Also, watched Rango yesterday. The first half or so was a bit not cool, thought I'd end up not liking the movie, but it really picked up towards the end, so I have to say I really enjoyed it as a whole.
