I didn't realise this was on, or else I'd have stayed in and watched it.

As it happens me and a mate went to the cinema to watch Invictus. A thoroughly disappointing, Hollywood-sugar-coated cliche of a film.

Think Cool Runnings meets Armageddon, add in some frankly rubbish rugby scenes, and you're pretty much there. Morgan Freeman is getting some plaudits for his portrayal of Mandela, but I really don't think Nelson Mandela is a difficult character to play. Hardly a subtle role to get right.

On the other hand, a week on from seeing it, I have changed my mind about A Prophet. Its actually a pretty good film, well put together. And the casting is first class. Eventually well worth the admission fee - once I got over the shit date that went with it!!
