You can't help think it's a poor mans'Taken even though it's nothing to do with it. Neeson's amnesia Bourne style thriller is dull, cheesy and kinda shit.2/5

Source Code (2011)
Great concept even if it does slightly borrow some Final Destination ideas in terms of déjà vous replays. Fun, intriguing and entertaining and a sneaky little twist 4/5

Arthur Christmas (2011)
Funny, original and full of imagination. The first half is better than the last. The UFO government storyline bit isn't needed. I like it a lot and had the ending not dragged I would have scored it higher. 3/5

Something Borrowed (2011)
Enjoyable chick flick with some funny moments. It's way too long though and tires towards the end. The fake Tom Cruise made me laugh though! 3/5

Bernie (2011)
Not what I was expecting from a Jack Black film but I really enjoyed it. Based on a true story this film offers something far removed from mainstream Hollywood. It's well acted and the documentary style vox box clips really work.4/5

The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
Not what I expected. It's like a really shit Trueman-esque Evil Dead acid trip. Utterly rubbish and completely pointless.1/5

The Guard (2011)
Very dry Irish comedy, offensive, non-PC and utterly brilliant. Gleeson is on top form again. It's like a mini Irish Lock Stock. 4/5

I am Bruce Lee (2011)
I've seen the stock footage a thousand times before and although it offers nothing new it's still well put together. One of the best Bruce documentaries ever made.4/5

Tyrannosaur (2011)
Gritty slow moving drama. Fantastic performances from the leads and a cool acoustic soundtrack. It's all story and characterisation which is what you would expect from a drama, good but not great.4/5

Wild Bill (2011)
A decent drama by Dexter Fletcher. Gritty,real and moving. I can tell its a good film, well shot, scripted and acted. I'm just not a big fan of dramas and I'd like to give it the 4 it deserved but I can't.3/5

Friends with Kids (2011)
Starts promising albeit predictable and definitely funnier if you have young babies, then it turns quite crap, unrealistic and looses the funny parts altogether. Resulting in a poor film sealed with an ending where the writers said,"oh I don't know how we should end it so just...end it". 2/5

The Tunnel (2011)
It's basically Blair Witch in the Aussie underground. But it works! It's been done a thousand times before, handheld footage, infra red cameras but it's scary and reminds me of Creep. Low budget but it delivers.4/5

The Raid (2011)
Some of the best action and Kung Fu I've seen for years. The choreography is insane. It it wasn't for the slight repetition towards the end it would have gained full marks. Still class though 4/5.

Scream 4 (2011)
Enough is enough with this now. Been there done that with the mask and knife, this film offers nothing new and although tries to parody itself ends up missing the point. It gets an extra point for simply getting all the cast back 2/5

Jeff, Who Lives At Home (2011)
One of those arty film award affairs but I loved it. Very real, funny and heartfelt. Part comedy, part emotional drama, and the soundtrack is great.4/5

The Three Musketeers (2011)
I really enjoyed this. Cheesy plot, great action, funny lines, massive budget and effects. The air ships get annoying but it's all great fun.4/5

Mission:Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)
Starts awesome with plenty of stunts, comedy and action. Then peaks half way through gradually declining towards the end, culminating in a cheap, cheesy and confusing end that leaves you disappointed and ruins the good film.3/5

The Awakening (2011)
Slightly edgy horror that leaves too many plot holes and the twist did not have the impact you'd expect. The gardener character was pointless and it leaves lots of questions unanswered.2/5

Jack and Jill (2011)
A career low point for Al Paccino and a career ending disaster for Adam Sandler. I am so bored with Sandlers SNL character sketches that become feature length films. This film is utter tripe!1/5
