Couples Retreat (2009)

Same old Vince Vaughn in a comedy that tries too hard and milks the only few funny gags it has.Poor 1/5



WALL E (2008)

A Pixar masterpiece.Stunning visuals,brilliant story,great concept.Funny and heartfelt. 5/5



Blade Trinity (2004)

Van Wilder helps Blade kill Link from Prison Break.Good set pieces but weak story. 2/5

Passenger 57 (1992)

There's something about his film that makes it watchable even though deep down I know its terrible. Poor acting, stereotypical bad guys and a uninspired plot, seemed a lot better back 1992 but I do secretly like it. 2/5

Happy Gilmore (1996)

One of my favourite all-time comedies. Even non Adam Sandler fans must admit this is funny.Great gags and memorable quotes make this a must see. 5/5

Surrogates(2009)

A.I meets I-Robot with a shot of Avatar = Really awful film. Unoriginal,slow and lifeless.2/5

Inside Man (2006)

Excellent thriller based around a highly polished bank robbery. A solid cast and a great twist makes this a must see. Highly enjoyable. 4/5

Edge of Darkness (2010)

Deeply dark and confusing rain soaked murder investigation starts great then trails off. Mel Gibson tries hard but the script is weak and the concept is dull and unoriginal. 2/5.

The Princess and the Frog (2009)

Disney's new hand drawn feature follows Walt's conventions but this outing is typically predictable and average.3/5




Raging Bull (1980)

Stylishly shot and very real. Confusing sub plots spoil the momentum. I prefer Rocky.4/5

Reservoir Dogs (1992)

Tarantino's jewellery heist début lives up to the hype and is very iconic.Maybe not as slick as it's made out and isn't ageing as well as we'd hoped but still very slick and influential. 4/5

Gladiator (2000)

This film is an epic. Amazing acting,story,visuals and soundtrack.It's long but it's close to perfection. 5/5



Daybreakers (2009)

Dark futuristic vampire tale with some good ideas.Slow in parts but generally quite watchable and a decent ending.3/5

Predator (1987)

One of the best action movies of the 80s.Arnie at the height of his career takes on an iconic sci fi monster.Awesome.4/5
