Not bad. As a fan of the original radio show I suppose all other versions of HGttG pale into obscurity by comparison. While I adore Stephen Fry, and think Harry Potter sounds fabulous when he reads it, he’s just not … Continue reading →

Disappointing. With all the talent involved in this movie you’d have thought they could have made something better than this. So much of the movie was quite predictable that I was not sitting on the edge of my seat wondering … Continue reading →

Wild. Way over the top and stereotypes abound but the fight scenes are incredible. Best use of a musical instrument in a fight scene. Would recommend highly for the visuals and the wacky sense of humour. Not to be taken … Continue reading →

Trash. Feels like an amalgam of several other movies cobbled together in the faint hope we won’t notice the joins. They even rip off Thunderheart, one of my all time favourites. Arghhhhhh!!!! Matthew McConaughey has zero screen chemistry with Penelope … Continue reading →

Visually stunning but … Okay, I’ll admit I was pretty bowled over by the look of this movie with its highly stylised comic book setting. But why oh why do we have to have the middle aged male heros, who … Continue reading →

4/10. Utterly predictable and visually waaaaaay to busy. Boy did my head hurt trying to watch this movie. Made for the video gamer audience I suppose. The domino scene was pretty cool though, which is why the score wasn’t lower. … Continue reading →

I’ve been getting a huge Homer fix recently. The Junior High production of The Odyssey was quite an achievment. The cast really worked hard to bring this story to life and some of the kids are already showing much talent … Continue reading →

LOL fun! A fun couple of hours during which I laughed out loud many times. Will Smith has great charisma and is always worth watching. The plot is pretty formulaic but worth a couple of hours in a darkened cinema. … Continue reading →

Great. Why this movie wasn’t showered with Oscar nominations is a crime. I assume the subject matter was what put off the Academy. Liam Neeson and Laura Linney were brilliant and were well matched by the rest of the cast … Continue reading →

Scary!!!!!! Very scary. I had to hide behind my fingers several times and the tension was … tense. I expect the afficionados of the genre had it all worked out in short order but I was surprised by the ‘twist’ … Continue reading →
