He was great as the pre-Master Master in "Doctor Who" - he went from bumbling and lovable to pure evil in a heartbeat. His eyes turned stone cold and utterly insane. Went to see "The Kid With a Bike" - magicial and yet true-to-life French film by the Dardenne Brothers. The little boy had that bruised vulnerability that no stage school kid could ever muster. Also went to see "The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists!" - fantastic Aardman animation. Almost up there with "Wallace and Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit". The detail in any Aardman film is just astonishing.

All the performances in the film were fantastic and while I enjoyed it overall, I thought it did somewhat of a disservice to that very great artist. Underworld Evolution. I do find this series of films entertaining and fun and this one, ironically enough, also cast Derek Jacobi. Jacobi is just such a fine actor that he puts in performances that, imho, shield him very much from critique. This particular film had a lot of backstory which I enjoyed a heap <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> I didn't care too much for the actor playing the hybrid guy, sorry I forgot his name, because in scenes where he's not growling and fighting, he seems very 'vanilla'. I also kind of wish these types of movies would stop being so saturated in blue colors. It just seems sort of lazy. Well, now Kate Beckinsale's vampire can tolerate daylight, maybe the new movie will make greater use of light in general. If you're a fan of Underworld though, I would definitely recommend it <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> michael on "What was the last film you saw?" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/what-was-the-last-film-you-saw/page/69#post-282249 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 01:35:40 +0000 michael 282249@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ i saw This Means War.

Mildly funny with Andy Serkis (not in CGI for a change), and Simon Pegg. Also Ronnie Corbett as a militia officer looking a lot like a toy soldier, Tom Wilkinson, Tim Curry, and a handful of cameos including a funny one from Christopher Lee.

It was okay, but I don't get why the critics were raving about it so much. Glad to hear that people enjoyed Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. I just read the book and am hoping to see the movie sometime soon.

Oh while I was in TX my friend Sonny and i saw the original batman film at the theaters. The 1989 one...and that was a ton of fun.

I was also very pleased to see Kathy Burke back acting again, gadgetgirl. Hope she does more. Drive - wonderful film. Yet another slow-burner. Fabulous, subtle performances by Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan and the supporting cast. Warrior - OK, I suppose. A bit overblown and very predictable. Nick Nolte, in my view, did some truly dreadful overacting.
