Iron Man 3 (2013)

Weak plot, poor storyline and awful direction however the usual cast carry it through.  Just watch it for what it is.  More of the winning Iron Man formula, just with more suits, more explosions and bizarre exploding bad guys including Mike from Neighbours. 3/5

Star Trek Into the Darkness (2013)

Not as good as the first, and more of the same but what the heck, it was a good watch.  Big effects, good lead characters.  4/5

Pain & Gain (2013)

Not what I expected but entertaining for the simple fact it's a true story and an unbelievable one at that. Having read the true story on Wikipedia after watching I realise the film is better than I first thought. 4/5

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013)

Heard good things about this, and it felt in parts like a Farelli/Cohen type affair mixed with Dodgeball and Blades of Glory.  Jim Carey was awesome, but unfortunately his character was not used enough.  Average, but not magic. 3/5

The Conjuring (2013)

Fans of this type of camcorder horror making will lap it. It screams of Amityville and many other classics but it does have some scary moments.3/5

Scary Movie 5 (2013)

Oh dear! This is as bad as you would expect. It has one or two gags that are genuinely funny but not enough to carry this film. But I like the franchise so why not just go with it. 2/5

Oblivion (2013)

It's like Wall-E meets District 9 meets Space Odyssey.  And to be honest, not as good as either of them.  The FX are interesting and it has its own visual style.  It's baron, isolated and Tom Cruise is always pretty solid in whatever he does.  Worth a watch but does not live up to the excitement. 3/5
