Apollo 13 (1995)

[Movie 162 / Day 173]


Space rocket takes off on moon-landing mission; breaks; "Houston, we have a problem"; aborts mission; gets home.

Based on real life, you know what's going to happen - yet the film manages to hold you in suspense and makes you really root for the characters stuck on board the stricken craft.

The actors are all as good as you'd expect really.

We should go back to the moon, it's been over 35 years.

My rating: 7.7 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.5 / 10
Running time: 140 mins

Titanic (1997)

[Movie 122 / Day 103]


Long, soppy love film that became the biggest film ever and gave the world yet another hateful Celine Dion song.

Rewatching it, the soppy love story is a bit crap. The ship sinking sequence is still ace though - even if some of the CGI is looking dated. Plus Kate Winslet gets naked, which is never going to hurt.

My rating: 6.9 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.3 / 10
Running time: 194 mins
