Vanishing Point
This was on Film 4 last week very late so I taped it and watched it last night. Not seen it in thirty years, it's much better than I recalled. For those who are not familiar a speed freak (in both senses of the word) named Kowalski has to drive a Dodge Challenger from Denver to San Francisco in 2 days, avoiding the cops and scoring gas and amphetamines where and when he can. Great soundtrack too.

The Impossible
Heart wrenching, moving, hard to watch at times but uplifting too, based on a true story about how events that day affected María Belón's family.
This is a beautifully done, respectful movie about the horror of boxing day 2004 when so many died horribly, swept away. The figure who died is a mind numbing 280000....
The acting is powerful particularly the children involved.
I watched the Blu ray and I am not convinced its much better than the DVD would be.
Worth watching but I would be very surprised if you won't need tissues - I did.

Star Trek - Into Darkness
What can I say, very little without ruining it but what I can say is this is in my opinion a fantastic film, amazing to look at, with excellent action scenes, special effects and brilliant acting particularly from Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch
Well worth going to see, a 9 out of 10
Regards Neil
Good - I have it planned for next weekend.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
