Syriana - I thought the various narrative strands tied together perfectly, I had expected from reviews it would be near incomprehensible or veer off into tedium but it kept me attention through out. The problem I had with it was I didn't feel any tension towards the end of the movie.
The worlds fastest Indian - by the book old fashioned under dog triumphs cum road movie; I’m a sucker for these sort of movies. I enjoyed Hopkins who portrays the eccentric Burt but I always knew he was acting as the character rather than completely becoming him (same crap with heath ledger in Brokeback Mountain) which put a downer on it.
The Weather Man - ugh below average in every respect, the movie just seemed half baked with nearly every actor appearing to sleep walk through it. I love Cage and Cain so it was still enjoyable to watch them but just a disappointment. It also has by far the most irritating score I’ve ever heard in my life!
Two for the money - same deal as the weather man, great actor in a terrible movie but I adore al pacino and was happy to just watch him does his thing.
The Pink Panther - If you have seen the son of the pink panther then watch this otherwise give it a miss. It's the second worst film in the series <\3 and Steve martin deserves death.
The hidden blade – set against the backdrop of westernisation of Japanese military forces focusing on a maids’ relationship with a samurai. I’ll admit I’m a sucka for samurai movies that are about the social system and so on, I find fight scenes longer than 2 minutes to be tedious, I utterly enjoyed this movie from the romance plot to the acting <3
Where the truth lies – enjoyable but something was lacking, while I cannot place what it was I’d hazard a guess at lazy direction. The acting was superb and it was an enjoyable movie with plot twists, I fail to see why Kevin bacons ass has to be in every movie we know it’s a great ass ok? Side rant: The movie reminded me of a law and order I saw the night before but only in the timing of twists. I HATE law and order, you nip out for a drink and within 2 minutes they have a twist leaving you going ‘wtf’ I invested 40mins of my time only to be left bewildered with the episodes end
The Churchill years – twas allot of promo for a release at the movies which never materialised. The idea that Churchill as an us marine along with the decent British comedy cast made this seem as if it would be good. It was painfully unfunny dreadful, it had about 3 decent jokes, a waste for such a novel idea
Lolita 97 – how old was she in this movie, I fear I’m going to hell
Charlie and the chocolate factory - it was fine, I’m not a hardcore fan and enjoyed both the original and this I disliked the ommpa lompas though
Dear Wendy - It was enjoyable overall with a few nice moments and a lot of hilarious ones that were unintentional. The movie failed in what it tried to do it, a movie about gun fetish only created a fetish for guns in me but alas we don’t allow handguns <\3
fantastic four - Dreadful I died a bit inside
Silver City - the movie was all over the place, it was still funny with the bush impression but really did smack of lets influence the shmucks who vote
The skeleton key - dreadful first half, ticks all the boxes, rarely scary but the second half picks up
Madagascar - it's not pixar! It was half way decent with a strange moral it's ok to eat fish but not animals, wtf?
Ok I’m bored
