3/5 Yeah not a bad film, kind of lost in the shuffle between all the other ‘Superhero’ type films out there. A pretty good idea, with a lazy, drunken guy with super powers who causes more damage then anything, which is rather amusing in the opening. As it goes along he saves the life of … Continue reading

Oh and thanks to Super Dan for providing some good company for the film heheAnyway! This lived up to all my expectations and more, it was soo much better … Continue reading
Teeth
4/5 Its a movie about a girl who has a toothed vagina, how could it be bad? Considering thats what the film is about you’d expect it to be something else, but as it turns out, its a really good movie! The script is pretty good, the acting is great, I loved Jess Weixler, she … Continue reading
He Was A Quiet Man
4/5 I had seen the trailer for this ages ago, and I thought it looked interesting, although now I barely remember the trailer, I went into this not knowing much about it at all, just that it had Christian Slater in it. Now I really don’t want to give anything away as this works so … Continue reading
Iron Man
(Only taken me a week to actually write a small review) 4/5 What can I say about Iron Man? Well it is a great and fun film! It pretty much hits all the right spots, which isn’t something a lot of comic book adaptions are known for. This one however I’m glad to report does … Continue reading
[Mini Review] An American Crime (2007)
This is quite possibly one of the more disturbing and heart breaking films you are likely to see. Based on the real events (They based a lot of it on the actual trial transcripts) of Sylvia, a young girl sent to live with a family who end up torturing her. The prosecutor of the actual … Continue reading
The Mist
4/5 After a terrible storm a small town gets a mist all around them, and something about the mist just isn’t right. That is the basic outline of The Mist, to tell you anymore is a crime. I think the best way to see this one is to know the least about it possible (Unless … Continue reading
Smart People
3.5/5 Smart people, intellectual people, but not really happy people. That is exactly how to describe this film and its characters. We have the grumpy Professor (Dennis Quaid), the over achieveing daughter (Ellen Page), the poet son (Ashton Holmes), the adopted brother (Thomas Haden Church) and the Doctor (Sarah Jessica Parker). They each have their … Continue reading
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
3.5/5 A good fun way to pass a couple of hours, with a very cool cast. Jason Segal (Who also wrote this) stars as Peter, who gets dumped by his TV actress girlfriend Sarah (Kristen Bell), and struggles with it all naturally. Sarah is seeing a rockstar, and Peter just wants to get over it. … Continue reading
Higher Learning
4.5/5 I just love this movie, being one I used to watch early in my teens, it stuck with me since then and it was great to revisit. Pretty much the stand out is Michael Rapaport, as the young man who doesn’t quit seem to fit in, or get along with anyone until the Aryans … Continue reading
Lars And The Real Girl
4/5 So you go into a movie knowing that its about a guy and his relationship with a doll. But what you don’t expect is how good it ends up being, thanks mostly to Ryan Gosling’s fantastic performance as Lars. Everyone else is great in it too, the family, friends and doctor who all end … Continue reading
There Will Be Blood
4.5/5 Epic. That is the word to describe this! It is an epic film! Certainly did not disappoint, feels like I’ve been waiting years to see this! Daniel Day-Lewis is extraordinary, there is no one out there like him. His performance is powerful, simply powerful. Paul Dano is amazing, he holds his own and he … Continue reading
Rambo IV
3/5 Not a bad way to spend 80mins, it is quite gory and all over the place. The dialogue is pretty bad in some parts, but the action makes you forget that. Surprisingly the performances are pretty decent too. I adore Julie Benz and I really liked her here, I thought her character could have … Continue reading
No Country For Old Men
4.5/5 Truly this is a great film. A simple story, yes, simply characters? Hell no! We get a hitman in the form of Javier Bardem that is unlike any character you are likely to see. You know what this guy is about from the moment you see him, Javier really made this character something you … Continue reading
