Let me just get one thing clear. I've never liked Quentin Tarantino. Ever since I saw as much as I could bear of the horrendous Resiviour Dogs (a film which for some reason is judged a masterpiece) I didn't think I'd see another film of his again. But hearing about Kill Bill I thought the man would pleasently suprise me. But no, yet again it is juts another film which consists of nothing but a blood-splatter fest verging on the pornagraphic.

Now don't get me wrong. I have no problem with violent films- Die Hard, The Terminator,etc these films I have no problem with. But Dogs and Kill Bill just have scene after scene of gore which I really got utterly bored of. I stopped both films before the end as I really was tried of it. Tarantino has to be the worst director ever. Uma Thurman and the music score are the only two good things about Kill Bill.

The true story of an unorthadox race horse and his unorthadox jockey becoming famous on the race track is one of the most heartwarming feel-good movies I've ever seen.You're really in there with Red (played wonderfully by Tobey Maguire) as he races Seabuiscuits against all odds into American history. The excitment, and nerves of the races I felt myself, and there were several times when I welled up, especially at the end. It It is a real pity that this movie was up against the giant that was Return of the King at this years Oscars for Best Picture, as I think it deserved Best Picture just as much as King did. A wonderful, heart warming film. If you feel low down, this is the film to cheer you up. Magical.

I've seen loads of Bond films and Pierce Brosnan is my fave Bond, but I have to say, that D.A.D is the weakest 007 film I've ever seen. With such a great cast it looked really promising, but unfortunatly it was totally marred by a non-existent plot. The plot had been replace by tons of SFX which didn't enhance the film as much as hinder it. Most of the film seemed unbelivable, even by Bond standereds. A real shame...
