Spider-Man 3

Really as bad as I remembered. How could they waste a villian like Venom? With terrible incoherent writing, that's how. What a disappointment.

I'm glad you like the Emerald Isle, thanks. For your Celtic neighbours you may be interested in my lists The Welsh Connection and Bonnie Scotland, and Ozufan's list on Scotland.

Hey Benn - An Irishman in Hamburg - that sounds like a movie title. I've really enjoyed moving about the Mubi neighborhood and finding fellow film enthusiasts - even those self prescribed, unabashedly film-obsessed. I'll have to check out Paul - it didn't make my initial view list but I'm always interested in giving a film a chance, especially when others find value in it. All films deserve an audience even when that audience doesn't include me. cheers-> rory

Hey Rory... Paul is enjoyable, especially if you like the Spaced-Brigade. It's a bit broader than their usual smart comedy but it was perfect for a Friday evening after a long week. After reading your review of Close Encounters I had to have a movie night on Sunday and introduce a few friends to it who had never seen it before. I'm glad to say it's as fantastic as I remember and I'm glad to say I could still feel that little spark of wonder about the universe that it instills in me with every viewing; they loved it too; it's always a nice feeling introducing people to a film you truly love. See you around Mubi! Ed
