Watched a couple of old school Peter Sellers movies:
1968's The Party - A pretty silly Blake Edwards flick with Sellers playing his common Indian character at a Hollywood party. Mildly entertaining. What was impressive about it was all the things they did just off camera and in the background. If you're a Sellers fan, it's worth the watch.
1970's Waiter, There's A Girl in My Soup - A completely different character for Sellers from the above flick. Never liked Goldie Hawn, but she's tolerable here. Some pretty funny one-liners and a total 70s sexual liberation plotline. A better movie than the slapstick The Party, but oddly less inventive.

Last movies I watched:
Hot Fuzz - Second viewing. Some good moments but overall not a great movie. Definitely a let down after Shaun of the Dead.
Night at the Museum - Not really entertaining, especially considering the impressive cast. It's, you know, for kids.
Twilight - Quite surprisingly, I didn't hate this movie, possibly because I expected the very worst. I though this was pretty well made, convincing performances, somewhat engaging story, ...
I fear I might be turning into a teenage girl!

You think their Irish is bad, have you ever heard an American actor try to speak French? It doesn't get much worse than that.
But I suppose fair is fair, a lot of French people don't do any better with English.

Outpost - Story about a couple of mercenaries who are hired by some guy to go looking for "minerals" (that's what they are told at least) somewhere in the woods of Eastern Europe. They end up in an abandoned WW2 Nazi bunker where they are attacked by the locals. And by locals I mean Nazi Zombies!! 
Pretty entertaining movie despite the slow start.
