I must be a bad person, because the immediate thought it provoked in me was why, in that extreme situation, didn't the interrogator immediately shoo all the amateurs and waverers out of the room and get to work on the guy's family in front of him. Any blame would have been the terrorist's, for bringing about the situation.

Might check that out.

In a similar vein, have you seen Traitor? Not a bad movie if a little too long.

I recently watched Grown Ups - not as funny as expected and quite sappy "hollywood" happy stuff - but not as bad as I feared as this was the second time I tried to watch it.

And Salma is always worth a look.

I enjoyed both of those films. Not enough to buy on DVD but still ok.

I watched cyrus, which was billed as a comedy - 2hrs of my life I'm never getting back. God knows how it gets 6.6/10 on imdb. Mrs PL picked it out.

If you fancy a bit of that, try Tipping the Velvet

A couple of Sarah Waters' other novels have now been turned into films, such as Fingersmith and Affinity.

I watched Black Swan, it was ok, I didn't connect with any charters, none of them were that likeable.

watched sexy beat after not being able to stick with it the first time and remembered why I couldn't - not a bad film but I just couldn't get it

Presumably TW means the second X-Files film (I think was on Film 4?). The first one was bad enough.

Yeah, it was probably Film4. Once of the Freeview channels anyway.

Severance with Danny Dyer. At first thought it would be really tulipe but actually quite a dark comedy.

Watch the rest later today.

I watched the X-Files film for the first time. Mindless entertainment (e.g. Mulder enters a dog patrolled compound full of baddies unarmed and phoneless having just been almost killed by one of them) with Billy Connolly playing a dippy psychic.
