I thought Avatar was a cool world-Creation, in terms of imagination as well as visually.

Plot wasn't worth a damn though, but I expected that.

I wasn't that impressed with it visually, I'd thought it be more orginal looking rather than just a space forest that glowed blue.

I really enjoyed Django Unchained, films that long usually make me a bit twitchy. 8.2/10.

is it getting unjustifiable praise like inglorious did (imho) or is it really worth a watch?

an almost 3 hour movie is like organising a weekend away in our house!

Well I don't bother with reviews (I'm my own critic) so I don't know what kind of reaction it's getting.

If you are a Tarrantino fan there is a good chance you will enjoy it. It is probably a bit longer than it needs to be though. I don't give 8.2/10's away willy-nilly either!

I used to love Tarantino until IB, which I thought was good (great in places - Waltz of course) but QT just needs to reign himself in more, rambling dialogue is great in small doses - the diner in reservoir dogs is sublime, but he shouldnt take that as carte blanche to write pages and pages of irrelevant rambling dialogue into every single movie he makes.....

8.2/10 is high praise indeed.

Waltz smashes it yet again, DiCaprio and Foxx do ok as well. It's quite a different experience to IB and has some great scenes and it's hard to resist investing the 3 hours on Tarantino, personally I was not dissapointed and coming from someone who struggles to watch most films over 2 hours, I found this a breeze.

    • I don't think they are too big for Castlefield these days. They've not had a new album for almost a decade and they like playing smaller venues. Maybe multiple nights is another option as they do like residencies 
    • Second half of next week I would expect for stage times.
    • made a last minute decision to go to Belladrum festival.   it was absolutely wonderful.   never been before, to be honest I think I was expecting a stage in a field and a burger van, but its nothing at all like that.   the site is beautiful, its small enough to get around, but big enough that there are things to discover round each corner, there are a good number of small stages tucked away.   you could quite easily convince yourself you were in Glastonbury in places.   I may have only been one time, but already learned a valuable lesson - the site itself may be Glastonbury like, but the "general camping" campsite is very much Reading like! as the morning mist rises... its a view like the Do Lung Bridge scene in Apocalypse Now...   so if you are not 15 years old, go to family or quiet camping which is fantastic.   its a real family friendly festival to - loads of families and kids of all ages running round and stuff for them to do.   I would 100% recommend it, and I really can't see any reason why I wont be going back next year!   🙂 
    • In terms of a Manchester/Leeds date, Wythenshawe? Too big for Castlefield Bowl, Kirkstall Abbey, Millennium Squade
