Re: What films are on at the flicks
sorry - I was having a bad day yesterday!
My recollections of the original are hazy, even though we watched it so often as kids that the tape ran thin, but you don't need to have seen it to enjoy the Legacy - everything is explained. The young guy is pretty hot, the young woman is fit and the old chap is way too cool. They all whoop ass. The music is also great and fits perfectly. The graphics are sound, although given the framework the original set, they are minimalist. The 3D is also quite spectacular, but not as spectacular as I'd have expected, probably because of the nature of the 2D highlighted "world".
Oh, and that slightly annoying elf Haldir makes an appearance. Well, not as an elf, just the actor, but every time I see him, I can't help thinking of the mildly annoying elf. He's getting about a bit nowadays.

Re: What films are on at the flicks
I'm glad to say you're wrong on this... it zips along at a great pace, the writing, direction and acting is top rate.
If you want to put bets on the Oscars this year - this has a chance at Best Picture, Director and Screenplay (possibly acting nods, but I think Colin Firth will get Best Actor)

its also worth watching just to get an idea of how the worlds newest and one of its largest "countries" was formed

Slightly older, but currently showing on all aircraft, is 'Salt', a surprisingly excellent spy jobby with Angelina Jolie.
I got the first twist, but completely missed the second one............

Re: What films are on at the flicks
We went to see Faster (with THE ROCK) his choice- but it was a pretty good film and the Rock is great eye candy! The cinema was full of men in dishdashes which really was quite bizarre- I think I was the only woman in there and the guy next to me kept making mmm noises whenever a flash of womans skin came up (not my date can I point out) And thank you for asking we had a good evening- although I can honestly say never has a man been so hard to read! To be fair I think he has more baggage than Heathrow airport so we're just taking it slowly- makes quite a nice change actually!

Dean- 
well yes- but without sounding like a complete hussy generally I dont date- bootycalls work for me to be fair - far less hassle/risk than dating.
Spugsy- tops?
