Quantum of Solace

Disappointing. When you have an actor, like Daniel Craig, who can do the serious dramatic stuff you’d think you’d write a script that utilised his full skill set. Sadly this 007 movie veers from one set piece to another without … Continue reading

Mongol

Fascinating. I have a faint memory of reading a positive review of this movie many moons ago so we went to see it when it was in town. I’m really glad ye olde memory hasn’t completely burned out for twas … Continue reading

Eagle Eye

Okay. Not bad I suppose. At least a not too offensive way to while away 2 hours while consuming your favourite beverage and movie snack. Car chases, guns, technology, the war on terror, and big brother, all make their not … Continue reading

Entertaining. Boy is the tension tight for most of this movie. As with this kind of a story once certain information is revealed it loses some on its operating dynamic but I still found it interesting to see how the … Continue reading

Wanted

Fluff. Yes, this film is gratuitously violent and the plot is completely stark raving bonkers but it passed the time pleasantly enough as we snacked on popcorn and soda. Plus Angelina Jolie rocks!!! Current temperature: here 61F/16C, there 18C/64F

The Dark Knight

Underwhelming. This film was such a huge disappointment. About half an hour too long, there’s little to engage the brain and stop one’s thoughts from drifting to plans for dinner. I didn’t give a damn about any of the characters. … Continue reading

Mamma Mia

Fun. This was such a hoot. Yes, is a light and fluffy confection with few redeeming features but it was a lot of fun to watch. Made me laugh out loud numerous times and want to sing and boogie along … Continue reading

OMG! OMG! OMG! This is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen. In some ways I’m glad I didn’t see it in a movie theatre as, I imagine, it would have been ten times more horrifying. Though there … Continue reading
