Rocky Balboa (2006)

More of a story about Stallone coming out of retirement rather than the character of Rocky. It's like he won't let it go. It's better than Rocky V but also a harsh reality in dignity. Peter Petrelli from Heroes is in it. Stallone six pack gut is confusing. 3/5

Kill Bill: Vol 1 (2003)

Amazing storytelling and vision and one of Tarantino's best. The Japanese section is pure class and the Anime is superb. Action, humour and a razor sharp script make this unmissable. 5/5

Home Alone 2 (1992)

One of those rare moments where the sequel is better than the first. Home Alone 2 is bigger, funnier and better. Absolute Christmas magic. 5/5

Pitch Perfect (2012)

Glee meets Sister Act. Predictable, obvious but also quite good in parts. It's a proper chic flick and the mash ups although cheesy are a guilty pleasure.3/5

Rocky V (1990)

The worst Rocky.  Tommy Gun and a crappy street fight.  What happened?  Especially after the success of Rocky IV.  I understand why Stallone couldn't leave the saga on this bum note.  Hence Balboa which I'll re-watch next.   This film is dire.  Sage is the best actor in this. 2/5

Home Alone (1990)

In my opinion this and its sequel are THE perfect Christmas movies. Funny, engaging and very symbolic of Christmas. As fresh today as it was on its release over 20 years ago. I love it. 5/5

The Bourne Legacy (2012)

Average action yarn sans Damon. Some good set pieces but weak story and an ending that simply...ends!!! Nothing special but worthy of a weekend watch.3/5
