Movie Marathon

Been laid up after an ankle op so I've been catching up on some movies.

The Bucket List - very good. Two great actors who complement each other well.

21 - was still coming out of the anaesthetic when I watched it but was just passable.

88 Minutes - very average...just didn't flow at all

The Bank Job - based on a true story albeit with the story being filled out with speculation in the absence of historical answers. In the style of Lock Stock, well worth it.

Untraceable - very watchable. While some of the science was far fethched much of it was believable. Could have chosen to be gory for the sake of it but didn't fall into that trap.

Vantage Point - concept was to show an assasination attempt from a numbe of different vantage points. Reality was that it was screwed up by sub plots that didn't need to be included. Another movie that didn't flow for me.
