I wouldn't mind if the writer didn't bang on about Reacher's size every five minutes in the books

Loved the film but think it was basically let down by Cruise. They should have got someone else to play it. Even when he's trying to be intimidating, he comes across as too much of a nice guy.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

So I went and saw this today and I have to admit that Tom gets away with it.

Superb film, helped by the fact I had forgotten a large chunk from reading the book some time ago.

Rosamund Pike - lovely jubblies. Well worth a look.  :happy2:

TC (that's Tom Cruise, not Top Cat) was on the Graham Norton Show last night and he does ALL the driving in the movie.

^^^^
I thought that Rosamund was a very nice lady indeed but she didn't excite me to perv on - Not like Emily Blunt for example.  :happy2:

That Graham Norton Show is nearly always good - He's very good at inviting an interesting and unexpected mix of guests and he's very witty. Much better IMO than Jonathong Woss.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, IAN!  :drinking:

Of course some fighting but nothing horrific, only one use of f**k as far as I can recall.

It's a 12A if that helps.  :happy2:

Sounds cool then, they've watched things like Mission Impossible, Total Recall and Batman so I'd imagine this would be fine!  :happy2:

I thought it was awesome. The Mrs on the other hand wasn't so impressed and decided to take the youngest shopping when the bit with the 'fingers' came on!  :scared:

It was proabably a bit darker than the last few 12's we have seen so probably best she didn't see the rest!  :happy2:

I was a bit concerned about some aspects. IMO it should have been a 15.
