How to Train Your Dragon (2010)

Good fantasy story and clever animation. The characters were not strong enough and the story too linear to make it great.But it's a solid Sunday afternoon family movie.3/5

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

The Dictator (2012)

Ok so it has plenty of gags, and some genuinely funny scenes but it's still a shit film. No plot, no story, nothing. Just a string of misplaced controversial stereotype gags that aim for cheap laughs with no substance. 2/5

The Five-Year Engagement (2012)

This feels like a series of deleted scenes stitched together to form a film. 2 hours too long, disjointed with two many ups and downs and boring interweaving plot lines. Avoid this turd 2/5


The Pirates! Band of Misfits (2012)

Likeable Aardman animation with a decent cast. Funny, enjoyable with some subtle British hidden gags (Blue Peter badge). The story isn't strong enough to make it a classic but it's worth a watch. 3/5

The Hunger Games (2012)

It's Running Man for The Twilight Generation. It all takes place in the wood like Rambo. Long, tedious and quite crap.2/5

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
