Trance (2013)

Danny Boyle returns after the Olympic opening ceremony and delivers something that was never going to compete.  Maybe that was his plan, something low key.  Basically that dude from Wanted steals a painting from Vincent Cassell but can't remember stuff after being hit on the head, so he visits a sexy  hypnotist to figure it all out.  It has some good points and it's not that bad, but it's no James Bond jumps from helicopter with the Queen type stuff. 3/5

Broken City (2013)

Average at best.  Ex-cop Mark Whalberg gets set up by evil mayor Russel Crowe, it has some clever (isn) moments but for me, Russ can't deliver since Gladiator and Mark Whalberg doesn't convince me very often.  So it kinda just floats along with the predictable. 2/5

Up in the Air (2009)

I appreciate this film even more now I have the jet setter work lifestyle. Very funny, sincere and a good watch. 4/5

Pacific Rim (2013)

Maybe the best CGI I have ever seen (so far).  Flawless visuals.  Stunning. Shame about the shit story, acting and the bits in between..but wow, the effects!!! 3/5

Now You See Me (2013)

Much better than expected. It's like Oceans Eleven meets Prestige meets Inside Man.  Sharp, clever, witty and good fun.  Leaves you guessing, neat twist and an impressive cast. 4/5

Ip Man (2008)

Nothing to do with wifi routers, but arguably the best kung fu film I have ever seen.  For me, it's better than Enter the Dragon, and that's a bold statement. Makes all that crouching tiger shit look lame 5/5

After Earth (2013)

A vehicle for Will Smith to help his kids, I get it.  Some good ideas and father son chemistry but it's average at best. 3/5
