Precious (2009)

Overweight abused teen turns her life around in a new school.Great performances,surreal scenes,award worthy just not my thing. 3/5

Tenderness (2009)

A non-descript Russel Crowe apparently stars in this awful story of a cop following a young offender and a crazed teen. Awful. 1/5

S.W.A.T (2003)

Promising action flick that looses its cool in the second half. Sub plot is enough to keep it moving but we've seen it all before. 3/5

The Score (2001)

Edgy thriller with a great cast (De Niro, Ed Norton, Brando) and a great twist.Too slow in places and an awful repetitious soundtrack. 3/5

Speed (1994)

Awesome 90's action film about a bomb on a bus.Cheesy in parts,explosive in others, fast paced non-stop action.A true blockbuster.5/5

Road House (1989)

Classic action B movie which shows Swayze can do more than dance.Take it for what it is and you'll be amazed at how good it actually is. 4/5

The Lovely Bones (2010)

Depressing but in parts brilliant tale of murder and the afterlife.Emotionally driven CGI and a solid cast but plot loses focus in places. 3/5.

Fantastic Mr Fox (2009)

Fun stop motion,star studded adaptation of a classic book.looks great but doesn't deliver as it should. 3/5

The Fourth Kind (2009)

Harry Brown (2009)

Gritty realistic reflection of modern day crime infested Britain. Michael Caine is fantastic as the OAP vigilante. Worth a watch 3/5

Heat (1995)

Great script, amazing actors.  Al Pacino is fantastic, De Niro plays it cool. Action, suspense & thrills. Classic. 5/5

Where the Wild Things Are (2009)

Love the book, hate the film. Confusing story, slow pace, hairy monsters and an annoying child. Not much point to this film.  Awful. 1/5

The Box (2009)

Terrible film about Cameron Diaz's box.  Set in the 70's.  Terrible acting, out-dated sfx and a dodgy sci-fi style ending.  Rubbish. 1/5

Avatar (2010)

Breathtaking visuals, a near perfect 3D experience, explosive battles and a script that pulls it all together. Awesome. 5/5
