Final Destination 5 (2011)
More of the same, over the top deaths filled with dodgy acting. Only this one co stars an awesome Tom Cruise lookalike, it made it hilarious.2/5

Star Trek (2009)
Amazing film, great story, mind blowing effects. This film totally reboots Star Trek, it turns it from niche geek to super cool.5/5

Rocky IV (1985)
My favourite Rocky Film. It has everything, makes me wish I was American! Dolf is perfectly cast and it has 2 training montages and an iconic soundtrack.5/5

Home Alone 2 (1992)
As far as sequels go this is up there with Rocky II, Godfather II etc.. In fact, it could be better than the first one.5/5

Home Alone (1990)
The Christmas film of all time. Everything about this film is family genius, it never tires and it never ages. 5/5

Elf (2003)
Elf is one those films that gets funnier each time you watch it.Will Ferrel is on top form and it's captures the whole Christmas spirit.4/5

Contagion (2011)
Interesting start and then turns rather pointless. Impressive cast list but the film is utter bat shit.2/5

Knowing (2009)
The first 30 mins captivates you with its brilliant premise, but then it turns to shit, could have been great, but it's not.2/5
Mulan (1998)
Awesome Disney adventure, Eddie Murphy is on top form and the film mixes East and West to great effect.4/5
Friday, 9 December 2011
Warrior (2011)
The comparisons to Rocky are obvious, and the acting and story not as good as The Fighter but I enjoyed it.UFC goes Hollywood!4/5

Fright Night (2011)
I actually enjoyed its horror humour in a Lost Boys/Zombieland kind of way.Dr Who plays an awesome drunken rock star vamp slayer.3/5
In Time (2011)
Disappointing and quite crap really. The concept was good but just not strong enough to sustain an entire film around it. Ironically it was about time going too quickly, but the film seemed to drag on for eternity. 2/5

Click (2006)
Great concept but the execution could have been slightly better.Sentimetal, funny and I want a remote like that one.3/5
The Ides of March (2011)
Doesn't live up to the hype, but as long as you approach it expecting a political drama and not a thriller then it's pretty good.Slow but good.3/5

Killer Elite (2011)
Friday, 25 November 2011
The Debt (2010)
Set itself up to be good but then falls flat.Some tense moments but it's not thrilling enough to be a thriller and not enough espionage to be a spy movie.3/5
Monday, 21 November 2011
Rio (2011)
Awesome visuals and animation let down by the weak story, predictable humour and odd casting choice for voices.This definitely isn't Pixar.3/5
Shark Night (2011)
When a film is this crap it actually becomes enjoyable.Until you remember how bad it is.Imagine Piraña meets Jaws Revenge meets something else that's shit. 1/5

Cowboys & Aliens (2011)
Major disappointment. It should have been good but it was slow, dark, confusing and pointless. It just didn't mix the 2 genres well enough and that was the whole purpose of the film.2/5

Crazy,Stupid,Love (2011)
Very amusing if a little too sentimental and long in parts.
Good cast, some very moments. A really strong 3/5

Wrong Turn 4 (2011)
Fans of low budget teen gore fests will enjoy it. Awful makeup, worse acting.But I still watched it all,"they're eating him alive like some fucked up fondue"! 2/5
Monday, 14 November 2011
Conan (2011)
Rather pointless remake, void of any awesome 80s vibe and more painted with that 300 look. Weak plot, even more wooden than Arnie.2/5
Friday, 11 November 2011
Rise of the planet of the apes (2011)
Not what I'd hoped for. Average run of the mill. Harry from Spiderman makes a genetically clever chimp who kills Malfoy from Harry Potter then goes to the woods with his mates.3/5

Hitman (2007)
I love this film. It's not everyone's cup if tea but it appealed to me. Calm, cool and collective. Assassins are cool.4/5
Sunday, 30 October 2011
Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)
A worthy sequel with some slick animation and funny lines superbly delivered.I enjoyed it as much as the first one.4/5

The Condemned (2007)
It's like a new take on Running Man, starting WWE wrestlers.It is what it is and doesn't pretend to be a great film. I secretly liked it but I know I shouldn't.2/5
Saturday, 15 October 2011
Colombiana (2011)
Poor thriller with a weak story. The lead character holds it together and is convincing.It should be a 2 but she makes it 3/5
Saturday, 24 September 2011
Red state (2011)
Crock of shit religious SWAT team church siege.Slow, quiet and southern slurred accents and a crap lead character.2/5
Sunday, 18 September 2011
Attack The Block (2011)
Original British comedy horror, dark, sadistic and very entertaining. Like a modern American Werewolf.Awesome 4/5
Sunday, 11 September 2011
Vantage Point (2008)
Average thriller showing an assassination from 4 viewpoints. The concept soon wears thin and we are left with another predictable Hollywood action flick.Worth a watch though.3/5
The Hole (2009)
Not the Kiera Knightly Brit Flick but Joe Dantes family horror fest.I genuinely shit myself.Aimed at teens but scary as hell.4/5
Saturday, 10 September 2011
Hall Pass (2011)
I expected more from the Farrelli brothers. Although it does have it's funny moments the film is disjointed and the characters don't gel. Starts promising then fades fast..2/5
Sunday, 4 September 2011
Knuckle (2011)
Interesting documentary film on the insights of Gypsie bare knuckle boxing. It's like real life Snatch only crapper. 2/5
Friday, 2 September 2011
Timecrimes (2007)
Low budget Spanish time travel thriller/part horror!Enough to keep your brain active but you soon piece it together and it tires quickly.Unique idea though.3/5
Wednesday, 31 August 2011
Waterworld (1995)
Considered a (belly) flop due to poor returns but this film is way ahead of it's time.The action is corny but the concept ad execution is great.Think Mad Max on water.4/5

Fast Five (2011)
Heavily influenced by Oceans 13, the team rejoin for a final heist,then they remember it's about cars. 3/5

Thor (2011)
Big budget effect laden blockbuster.Really good performances,amazing effects.I just expected something slightly cleverer considering the director but still a solid film.4/5
Sunday, 7 August 2011
Super 8 (2011)
Sci Fi fans will love it, I loved the whole stand by me/Goonies thing but underneath all this it's just a cheesy cliche ridden Cloverfield alien encounter of the misunderstood ET kind.3/5
