Fantastic Four: Rise of Silver Surfer

by Tim Story

the best bit of this is the chase with silver surfer and the torch, and that bit’s on the trailer!

Not for the easily offended! (rated 5 stars)

Tideland

by Terry Gilliam

This film is amazing! Beautifully shot, beautifully acted but deeply disturbing. The subject matter is horrific at times but the childlike innocent tone is spot on, which keeps the nasty stuff in context and prevents it from being gratuitous. Think big fish meets alice in wonderland meets psycho.

The Cloudspotter's Guide: The Science, History, and Culture of Clouds

by Gavin Pretor-Pinney

This made me smile. In Japan thunder is believed to be caused by the god Raiden who enjoys eating human navels, thus when it thunders small children put their hands over their bellybuttons! Only a couple o chapters in, but really enjoying this.

“miso, miso, fighting in the dojo,

Couldn’t resist! If you haven’t seen this then that makes no sense at all!

The Illusionist (Widescreen Edition)

by Neil Burger

A solid 7 out of ten. Not a lot of substance or surprises but looks beautiful, and well acted. Ed Norton & Paul Giamatti are usually good benchmarks of quality.
