Movie: Space Cowboys (great flick, fiction but has The Right Stuff feel about it) TV show: Farscape (rewatching on Netflix), unless the ALMS race counts

Movie: Banlieue 13:Ultimatum. The sequel to Banlieue 13, a Luc Besson sponsored B-movie about a nuclear bomb in dystopian Paris suburb. Lots of martial arts and parcour in a distinct French style. Good mindless fun, often described as Ong Bak meets Escape from New York.
TV: Justin's House. A tale of a hapless houseowner with an inept robotic manservant, a green fluffy monster and annoying neighbours and guests. I had to sit through it with my daughter, who finds it hilarious. http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/justins-house/

Movie: Inception in 2010...nothing I've wanted to see since, although maybe 'Iron Sky' if it's still on at the multiplex next door to where I work.
TV: Don't use TV for drama anymore, so last thing I saw was some nondespript documentary on the History Channel or Discovery channels. 'The Thracian Gold' I think it was called. Luckily, it's not 'Shark Week' again...
Big Bang Theory, Fringe, Supernatural on TV yesterday. The last (Theater) Movie I saw was Mirror, Mirror about a month ago because I gave Blood and the tickets were free.

Been meaning to see this one, I hear it's good. My brother is NOT a "gearhead" at all, barely knows a thing about racing...but since showing him TopGearUK, he's become hooked, and told me recently that the Senna movie is "outstanding"!
As for me right now...
I WANT to say the last movie I saw was "The Avengers", which was lots of fun...but ACTUALLY the LAST movie I actually saw was a "chick flick" called "The Vow", which was far better than I expected. It's not your standard "rom com" at all, based more in the real world when people go through some tough times. Loosely based on a real couple's experiences.
Oh, and caught a re-run of "Man on Fire", outstanding work by Denzel Washington!

Its a very quotable movie. I listened to the audio commentary after i watched it , he certainly grabbed life by the balls and gave it a good shake
