    I had a friend from Kilkenny who maintained that the people in her village thought Father Ted was a documentary.

    Yup - love that show. The cars are cool but the characters in that garage are something else. Tom the mechanic is just legendary. Crazy as a box of frogs lol :D

    Just watched the original 3.10 to Yuma (1957). Now I have watched this before, but god that is a good film. Especially considering when it was made.
    Glenn Ford is the coolest badass in the world.
    If you like old westerns download it on sky on demand before its taken off.

    Never seen the original, but I thought the recent remake with Christian Bale and Russell Crowe was also particularly good. Great performances by both actors.

    Really!? I thought World War Z was dire. You could almost see the joins in the movie where the ending was reshot - it was that obvious. And there is no excuse for almost stopping the movie for a "Pepsi moment" just to give some blatant product placement. I was actually laughing towards the end.

    Do like a bit of Walking Dead tho - no faulting that show :)

    I have the new one and will watch it again to see how it compares. It was Glenn Ford that blew me away in the old one.
    I always thought McQueen was cool, but his performance blew me away. You really did want him to nail the girl, kill the goodies and ride off into the sunset

    Glenn Ford was a brilliant 'under' film actor. Many of his nuances would have been lost on stage, you needed a close up to follow them. Shatner's alter ego.

    I loved Steve McQueen, but ultimately, the cool was all there was. His range was limited, but the cool was so cool, it didn't really show. Antonio Banderas is similar. I've not paid too much attention to the execrable quality of many of his films because he's just so damn cool...

    Even the theme to 3:10 to Yuma was cool. Frankie Laine's voice still sends shivers.

    I was just disappointed that World War Z didn't follow as per the book, and only really used the name.
    Haven't seen the movie yet.
    Looking forward to Walking Dead starting back. Have still to get my book 9 delivered on this as well.

    However, I have been reading the Deadlocked series on my ipad, which would make a far better TV series than Walking Dead.
    Still enjoying WD though.

    This summed up World War Z nicely for me:
