Triangle - 6/10

Strange film with an odd pace. The film is deliberately left open ended which I thought was an easy way out for the writers. Without giving away the plot there are two or three ways of interpreting the film which makes it feel like it was neither here nor there.
Worth a watch but don't expect too much.

I liked the concept of this movie, but there was one thing I just couldn't get my head around... The main character was just TOO accepting of all the weird shiz that was happening to her.

Like, "Oh I seem to be in a horror scenario that will keep replaying itself until I work out how to act accordingly to escape". "No probs, I guess I'll just crack on with that then".

Whereas most people would be like "WAIT... WHAT THE ACTUAL **** IS GOING ON HERE?????????????".

the muppets movie with my son.

i actually enjoyed it for all its silly bits. some genuinely funny bits too for adults

7/10 for a bit of reminiscing of the 80s

Well out of all the places I did finally watch the Avengers, on a plane back to the UK! Good film indeed but not something I'd watch again which has been the same for me with any of the superhero films.

Total Recall - 7/10
Make sure you don't try and compare it to the Arnie version and more to the book.

Equilibrium -7/10
Fantastic premise, pulled off very well. Christian Bale was a brilliant cast, as was good 'ol Sean Bean.

The Rum Diary - quirky one this, neither funny nor engrossing, but watchable if a little to long.
Depp has a limited scope on what characters he can act. unfortunately Kemp was not within this range!

Flightplan - 5/10 obvious from the start who the baddy was but watchable

The Descent - 6/10 good slice of cliche horror with the feeling of claustrophobia being well presented.

Star Was 1,2,3 - 6/10 Visually stunning but not much going on upstairs.

Taste of fear.

A 1961 black and white Hammer horror film, but not the usual camp Hammer style, and is more of a psychologically disturbing film.

I've always been a big horror film fan and I first watched this in my youth in the early 1970's and it's one of the few films that stick in my mind almost 40 years later. 8/10

Exactly what I was thinking throughout the film. The only explanation I could think was that she was suffering from severe shock, but it didn't really fit in.

I was trying to remember what films it reminded me of last night and realised it's a cross between Ghost Ship (2002) and Dead End (2003).

Finally watched The Raid.. wasnt really that good, story was dire but fighting was decent

- 5.5/10

American Psycho - obvious classic, Bale is awesome. 8/10

Saw the Bourne Legacy last night, enjoyable but the Jeremy Renner's Aaron Cross as the lead character wasn't as good and Matt Damon's Jason Bourne. Some good action though to make up for it 6/10

In God's Hands - Enjoyable film if you're into that sort of thing. 6/10.

Not watched it for years.

The Hunger Games

Two hours of my life I'll never get back. 3/10

Amelie

Fabulous film making and story telling. Could possibly sneak into my top ten. 8.5/10

Battleship

Good action movie, ticks all the boxes. Hot girl, big explosions, crazy plot, cheesy lines, funny lines (including poking fun at itself). It even has an 'military personel playing competitive sport' scene, I think they took a few elements from Top Gun for this one. Worth a watch. 6.5/10

The Avengers

Brilliant action movie. May also sneak into my top ten. Watched it twice in one weekend and I never do that. 8.5/10

Total Recall 2012 - 7/10. Not a bad film on its own merits, but not a patch on the original....a film that really did not need to be remade.

Colin Farrell was good as usual, and though it is always nice to see Kate Beckinsale walking around half naked, she is one of the worst actresses I have ever seen.

Edit- actually thinking about it, I will put it down to a 6, maybe even a 5.

I thought snow White was too boring and slow paced.Long periods of nothing happening and the acting wasn't that great either.

Kanifee · 4 Sep 2012 at 13:51

House in the woods. pleasantly surprising, wasnt expecting quite what it turned out to be, a solid 6/10

Training Day. What can i say Denzel does it like a boss. 8.5/10

R.P. McMurphy · 4 Sep 2012 at 17:13

Just watched "Warrior", loved the final. 7/10.

The Pianist 10/10
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253474/

Love this film seen it so many times.

Glaucus · 4 Sep 2012 at 20:30

gladiator another epic classic
It has to be 10/10

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 4 Sep 2012 at 20:38

Battleship - Was typical lets make a pretty special effects movie but totally wind it in when it comes to acting ability and actually explaining anything. 5/10
