Would you say it was suitable for younger children to watch?  I've had it a while but I was never sure whether I should put it on early or late.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

I haven't watched it myself but my mother-in-law took the grandchildren to the cinema to see Real Steel and she never mentioned there was anything inappropriate. What she did mention was she was pleasingly surprised by this movie.

Thanks XT, I'll schedule it for tomorrow before bedtime.

I saw Puncture (2011) a while ago. It's not a bad movie, it's unpretentious with satisfactory performances, specially that of Vinessa Shaw. The most engaging thing is that it's based on a true story and leaves you ruminating over how big corporations/money/big time lawyers have their way in the world. The main character is an intelligent, tortured, well meaning, drug addict played by Chris Evans. He's OK but he kept reminding me of his performance in London (2005) (maybe it's just me). As I said it isn't bad but if you don't watch it certainly won't change your life.

Ah, I wish but you can't even start to compare it with that one!
And every time someone mentions "The Veredict" I can't help but think of  "...And Justice for All. (1979)". Good one too, isn't it?

We all watched Journey 2: The mysterious island last night and while the majority of it was nonsensical and showed little regard for any continuity, the laughing and smiling faces of the kids mean I have to score it a 6.5 for the fun loving yarn that it was.  That and hearing the Rock call Michael Caine a 'grandmother'.

Safe with jason statham. the version I watched didn't have any subtitles so I felt like I missed some of the story. If you've seen it can you tell me

John Carter, saw this while in the nail shop. It was decent.
