The Soloist
Good. Well worth the price of the ticket. Surprisingly, not as mawkish as I was expecting and there’s some quite pointed tweaks at inappropriate white-guilt behaviour. Also a more interesting exploration of mental illness and the catastrophic effects on the … Continue reading

The Ugly Truth
Ugly. Make that very very ugly. This movie combines the absolute worst inclinations of adolescent-boy movies with the tritest of chickflick moments. It was so disappointing especially give the two leads who clearly have great chemistry if only the script … Continue reading

My Sister’s Keeper
Tearjerker. Definitely a two tissue box movie. A real roller coaster of emotion from sweet happy uplifting moments to heart-ringing lows. A lot better than it deserves to be though missing a certain something that would raise it’s value as … Continue reading

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Entertaining. With such dense source material it’s amazing as much of the books ends up on the screen as it does. Though, much must be omitted due to time constraints, I think they captured the essence of this book while … Continue reading

Terminator: Salvation
Explosive. Lots of great special effects, action sequences and explosions. A little weak on thinky thoughts but sometimes one just wants to be amused for a few hours, eat some popcorn and drink some soda. This movie definitely breathes new … Continue reading

Star Trek
Shiny. A rollicking ride of a movie that pumps new life into an aged franchise. Much fun is to be had so long as you don’t want to think too much about what is going on. Zachary Quinto rocks as … Continue reading

The Reader
Brilliant. This has got to be one of the best films I’ve seen in a long time. Visually beautiful and terribly haunting it engages the emotions as well as the old grey cells. Kate Winslet creates another complete and complex … Continue reading
Moon
Intriguing. After hearing Mark Kermode’s review on Fivelive we made a concerted effort to see this indy movie and well worth the effort it was too. I’m not going to say much about the story as one of the pleasures … Continue reading

Angels and Demons
Tosh. Tosh, tosh, drivel, drivel, tosh, tosh, drivel, drivel, *lol*, drivel, drivel, drivel, *lol*, utter tosh, utter drivel, ad nauseam. So, yeah, it really was that awful and I must confess we did not expect much better. Mostly we went … Continue reading

Wolverine
Blargh! So I was completely underwhelmed. I know it’s based on a comic book but I still expect films, regardless of the source material, to have some depth amongst all the packaging. Even if they’re only hidden depths! This was … Continue reading
