Will probably go see Prisoners when it is out here. Fan of Jackman and there is a really strong supporting cast plus the story looks solid.

Wonder how Rush will go with it's wide release next week in the US. I am going to see it next week since I am a massive F1 fan plus it has Ron Howard directing. But, F1 isn't that big in the US so will it be ignored? Don Jon is also out with JGL Directing, Writing and Acting in the movie.

Definitely not ignored for Rush, lots of commercials for it, especially on sports channels. May not be as big here as in Australia, but I think it'll do decent enough. Movie looks great though.

Rush might be decent as Howard can do spectacle well and Peter Morgan is a good screenwriter, but the story doesn't really interest me that much, so think I will pass on it at least for now.

Enjoyed the first Cloudy, but I wasn't really sure it should get a sequel. Real good start for it though.

Am really looking forward to this, the first one was one of the most inventive and charming animations of the last decade.

Good start for it, never saw the first one. How does it compare to other animation films, is it similar in style to any other well known films?

Okay start for Rush, didn't expect it to be huge in the US. Should be seeing it on Saturday.

It had a very surreal look to it, but also had charming characters and some interesting themes. Will be interesting to see how they advance the story.

In England Prisioners has gone in at number one, which is a bit suprising, maybe the cast were the big selling point, or maybe there just isn't many other big films to challenge it. Think it sounds decent, but there are other films I want to see more.

Blue Jasmine a new entry at number three which is great news and I can see it being up for some Oscars for the cast anyway. I saw it Monday and it may well be Allen's best film in about twenty years and easily one of the best films I have seen this year.

Great start for Gravity

Great start for Gravity

Is that the Alforson Curan film with Sandra Bullock in? I am a big fan of both so will be checking it out.
