Toy Story 3

Mon, 09 Aug 2010 05:48:14 -0400

Just wonderful! A fantastic way to end the trilogy, lots of laughs and some really sad moments too (yes I cried a bit!). I can’t fault it.

5 Stars.

District 9

Mon, 02 Aug 2010 03:17:38 -0400

Thought-provoking and realistic, it really gave you the impression that this was a documentary of an event which really happened. The story was good, although slightly cliche, and left room for a sequel.

Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs

Mon, 02 Aug 2010 03:15:00 -0400

Hilariously funny, and very skeptical and science-orientated. I loved it!

4.5 Stars

The Mist

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:39:27 -0500

A nicely paced film, the tension and terror grows with every passing moment. I love the whole “the real danger is us” thinking, and this is quite possibly what would actually happen should monsters start appearing in the mist!

Sicko

Whatever your opinion on the healthcare reform in America, you need to see this. Moving and shocking, Michael Moore compares the US health system with other countries in the world, with surprising and disgusting results.

Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:02:28 -0400

Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are both fantastic, as usual. A very dark and dismal nineteenth century England is contrasted by the brilliant songs and subtle comedy, adding to the atmosphere to make it a very enjoyable watch. I cannot stop listening to the soundtrack — it is wonderful.

5 Stars

The Sixth Sense

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:35:29 -0400

Sometimes heart warming, sometimes heart stopping, this supernatural chiller is fascinating to watch and you just have to watch it again after the big reveal.

4 stars

Out of Africa

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 16:24:47 -0400

A beautiful story, pulls all your heartstrings and is both happy and sad. Very Memorable.

Masters of the Universe

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:06:00 -0400

Absolutely awful acting and basically no plot. I understand that it is based on a comic book and it was made in the 80s but c’mon, this is just painful to watch. It gets one star for Courtney Cox and ~~Tom Paris~~ Robert Duncan McNeill.

1 star.

Sex and the City

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 08:50:00 -0400

Entertaining and enjoyable, but predictable with reused topics. The girls have ‘grown up’ and are facing new challenges, but it is all a bit cliche.

3 and a half stars.

Enchanted

Thu, 21 May 2009 16:56:00 -0400

Hilarious! Great songs, a big twist on the classic Disney stories. Absolutely love it.

5 stars.

The Truman Show

Thu, 21 May 2009 16:55:00 -0400

A very clever idea, great comedy and thoughtful story.

4 stars.

The Shawshank Redemption

Thu, 21 May 2009 16:54:00 -0400

An absolute classic. One of the cleverest films I’ve seen. You have to watch this.

5 stars.

Horton hears a Who!

Thu, 21 May 2009 16:52:00 -0400

Dr Seuss has never been this wonderful. A beautiful story (which deals with skepticism and independent thinking vs. ‘the old ways’. Oh and talking elephants). The ending will make you smile.

5 stars.

Happy Feet

Thu, 21 May 2009 16:50:00 -0400

Great songs, beautiful graphics - very realistic. Deep story hidden underneath some really fun music and visuals. One for all the family. Bonus for (what I interpreted as) criticism of organised religion. Or is that too deep for a film about penguins?

5 stars.

Dead Like Me - Life After Death

Thu, 21 May 2009 16:48:00 -0400

Certain elements from the fantastic TV series have either been removed, or ruined. The story has some major plot holes and is generally unsatisfactory. The story involving Reggie is the only saving grace for this film. I can only hope there will be more to come, with improvements. A shame.

3.5 stars.

Bridge to Terabithia

Thu, 21 May 2009 16:46:00 -0400

Absolutely stunning, touching film which brings back the child in you. You will laugh, you will cry. A must-see.

5 stars.

Stay Alive

Thu, 21 May 2009 16:44:00 -0400

A good idea for a movie, ruined by slightly poor execution. Lots of errors which any geek could point out. Annoying ‘the police are against us’ plot, with lots of immaturity. A waste.

2.5 stars.

The Lake House

Thu, 21 May 2009 16:42:00 -0400

The main ‘twist’ of this story was revealed in trailers. A cute romance film with a science-fiction twist. Slightly disappointing.

3 stars.

War of the Worlds

Thu, 21 May 2009 16:41:00 -0400

Watching this in the cinema was amazing, it is a shame I cannot experience that again, as a lot of the magic in this film is lost without it. A thrilling adventure, somewhat less appealing on multiple viewing. But recommended.

4 stars.
