I think I'm out of the flock then I also hated Grease! Music is catchy enough but rest of it, no thanks! Not really a big musical fan at all.

Hancock

Action/comedy about a drunk, disgraced super hero (Will Smith) who does more harm than good when he "helps" out. I found it to be very funny in parts, and was an enjoyable enough film to watch. Don't expect too much from it though. Oh, and Charlize Theron ftw \o/

7/10

Don't worry you know I was out of the flock too

Though I love musicals. I'm just one big thespian at heart with things like that.

This year I've managed to watch two films I have been told I'm a disgrace for never seeing: Top Gun and Dirty Dancing. I feel whole!

Disturbia.

A remake of Rear Window. Kind of.
Not a bad film, some daft moments and not a patch on the Hitchcock version. Still, would happily watch it again even though Shia LaBeouf seems to playing similar roles all the time.

7/10

Journey to the Centre of the Earth (the newest one)
Enjoyable little family film. Brendan Fraser plays nearly the exact same character as in The Mummy but he does it well so that's fine. Wouldn't spend much money on it but a decent way to spend 90mins or so when you want something mindless but entertaining
6/10

The Baader-Meinhof Complex

Starring
  • Martina Gedeck
  • Moritz Bleibtreu
  • Johanna Wokalek
  • Nadja Uhl
Film about the terrorist group

8/10 It's a long film but it tells the story well, good performances by the actors. It does feel slightly bitty even with a run time of 150 odd minutes but it's a very large subject to fit into even that runtime so it would be churlish to hold that against it too much. It is in German with English subtitles and a complex film (no pun intended) so not one to watch if you aren't willing to concentrate. That said, it is the most attractive terrorist group I've ever seen and watching from todays perspective it seems almost stunning how prevalent smoking was.

The Mummy - Tomb Of The Emperor Dragon

If you enjoyed the first 2 Mummy movies then you should enjoy this, it's just like the other 2 but instead of Rachel Weisz it's Mario Bello who isn't as good. Still an enjoyable movie though.

7.5/10

Really?
I saw it at the cinema and thought it was absolutely awful. Loved the first two Mummy films but all this one had was huge quantities of badly done CGI and lots of average action scenes. It completely lacked all the humour that the first two had. I was hugely disappointed by it

Superbad

Finally got round to watching this. Was hilarious in places, funny in others and meh in others. The only bits that really made me laugh were the 2 cops. Everything else was okay. Doubtful I'll be watching it again anytime soon.
