  2. I struggled to rate Battleship. There were some horrendous moments in it but at the same time there were parts i enjoyed. Overall i kind of enjoyed it and thought it was worth a watch at least once which puts it in my 7/10 bracket. However on a different day when i'm maybe not feeling so generous that could slip to a 6 or even a 5.

    Well you don't know until you've given them a go ;)

     

    The 7/10 films were worth watching. 8/10 films i would re-watch if i was in the right mood.

    Truu. But I try sticking to Top Films of... lists when deciding.

     

     

    I'm working through a list which contains all the films ever to be in the IMDB top 250, another list with Oscar winning pictures and i made of films i've seen as a kid/teen and their sequels i can't really remember

  5. Sorry but Ace Ventura When Nature Calls is f hilarious.

     

    At least at 8/10 for me.

     

    Jim just annoyed me in Ace Ventura. I'd never seen them so thought i'd give them a go. Both films were only 50p from a local exchange shop. Surprisingly i've not seen many of his other films but i plan to catch a few more when i can. I've seen The Number 23, Batman Forever and Bruce Almighty (which i liked)

  7. Live After Death and Pulse are two live albums where they've improved on the studio versions of all the tracks i reckon. Love both of them.

     

    I'm probably one of the few who genuinely likes all the Use Your Illusion tracks. Granted they are not all killer but i wouldn't say they have fillers on either.

  8. I've been thinking about this for days. I don't think an album with all killer no filler exists. For there is pretty much always a track i could press the skip button to. Out of all the albums i've heard over the years these are the ones i put on and leave them to play:

  9. Classic Rock Magazine buyers guide this month is about albums by former members of GnR and there is always an album to avoid and this months is Adler - Back from the Dead. It says "In his prime, Adler was the best drummer GnR ever had. But this band he had was no GnR. With singer Jacob Bunton screeching horribly, Adler sounded like a bad Ratt tribute act. Inevitably, the album sank without trace."

     

    Well it didn't because i've heard it and loved it. The One That You Hated and Dead Wrong are top tunes!

  10. It's probably not anyones cup of tea here but i saw Trivium, Heart of a Coward and As Lions last night in my home town. Heart of a Coward stole the show, amazing sound quality and an amazing front man. Triviums sound let them down, just way too loud to make everything out.
