2 stars for From Dusk Till Dawn? I can just throw this whole list out, as you're obviously a madman.

Oceans 13 was actually quite good. Not as good as the first one, but way better than the second...come to think of it anything is better than the second one, apart from Batman and Robin which was on this weekend and as I sat there watching it for about two minutes a bit of sick went in mouth thats just how bad it is.

I can see why Simon gave From Dusk Till Dawn 2 stars as up until the point that Salma Hayek comes on stage and dances its a good realistic(ish) hold-up movie which goes along at a cracking pace with Clooney being at his coolest, then as soon as the kinky dance number finished it gets all silly and rubbery. I love me some horror films but seeing Harvey Kietel as a rat monster and a vampire band playing body bits is just daft. Even Shaft himself cannot save it...Damn! Also you missed out old Georges appearace in the 1980s classic 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes'

I'm - surprisingly - with you on "From Dusk Till Dawn" but shame on you indeed for not seeing "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind". It rules.

Solaris was a brilliant re-interpretation of a unwatchably long and tedious Russian sci-fi flick (sorry, Tarkovsky, I have tried). It's one of my favourites of the last 5 years, and qualifies as pure science-fiction in that it tells a story that could not credibly be told in any other medium (i.e. western). It's about regret and our tendency to try to repeat ourselves in the field of human relationships. Clooney himself gives a truly excellent and measured performance.

Should be five stars for From Dusk Till Dawn. Two of those are for Salma Hayek's nipples.

PS - Welcome To Collinwood has a short but memorable comic turn by GC as a wheelchair-bound veteran safe-cracker. It has similar broad humour to Oh Brother . Not a classic but definitely worth a look.

Apparently, Salma Hayek's nipples don't make an appearance in From Dusk Till Dawn, so it's four stars. The extra star is for her belly button.
