We managed to squeeze in two DVDs this week!
The Bank Job – Based (loosely, I think) on a true story, this is a film about a bunch of crooks that broke into the Baker Street branch of Lloyds Bank by tunneling under the floor, and coming up in the safety deposit box room. It was quite an enjoyable flick, sort-of in the style of Snatch, or Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, though with a few less subplots. It even had that guy in it who always plays the organised crook in an otherwise unorganised bunch – he was playing the organised crook, in an otherwise unorganised bunch. gerrod.com rating: 7.5/10.
Wall-E – There’s only one way to describe this movie: adorable! I really, really enjoyed it. Best of all, it has a message for the whole family – that memory really can be restored by the love that exists between two robots. gerrod.com rating: 9.5/10. Waaaaalllll-eeeeee!

I loved “The Bank Job” – thought it was an excellent movie. Very entertaining.
On the other hand I feel like a Wall-E when it comes to the movie Wall-E. I must have missed out on the genes that like popular movies like – The Pirates of the Caribbean, The Incredibles and Wall-E. All movies I fell asleep in within minutes.
It’s always great to have some downtime enjoying some movies on the couch. What’s coming up next in your DVD watch list?
Must agree with you on Pirates of the Caribbean, I thought that movie was very plain. The Incredibles is a great film though, and Wall-E is even better!
It’s always a bit of a gamble with LoveFilm as to what you’re getting next, but I know that Hancock is on it’s way…
I saw Wall-E on the plane and it took me a while of waiting for the speaking to start before I realised there was pretty much no speaking. I stuck it out though, and was soon captivated. Such a lovely film!
