Domino
0.1/10

appalling film. Poetic speeches, artistic camera shots on a move like that please. Big pile of steaming poo. As well as a stupid story line.

Burn after reading.

Cast:

Brad Pitt
George Clooney
John Malkovich
Tilda Swinton
Frances McDormand

Basic premise is, a disk containing the memoirs of a CIA agent ends up in the hands of two unscrupulous gym employees who attempt to sell it. Very funny in places and being a Coen brothers movie, very bizarre in places. Still not sure if I really like or not and not sure how much I would recommend it to people. But if you like Coen brother movies, then chances are you'll like this.

7/10

Transporter 3
I'm disappointed.

The fight scenes were badly shot.
Poor editing throughout.
I've seen more sexual chemistry between the players in a darts match.
Far too much of the completely impossible to make it even remotely realistic.

The whole movie felt thin, and I loved the first and second movies.
5/10

Wall-E

Wonderful story, beautifully told.

Watched this on BluRay, lights off, speakers up and from start to finish i was glued to the screen. I went into this movie knowing nothing about it, not even seen the trailer and it went from sad beginning to all the lights glitter in the middle and then a very touching finale. All sprinkled with loving moments through out the movie, I haven't been this impressed with an animated feature since Toy Story 2, but even that wasn't as touching as Wall-E. Who knew a character with no dialogue can convey across so much emotion with those lenses for eyes?

9/10 (I would give it 10 but that would mean it is perfect....its close, but not perfect)

7/10

I watched this at the weekend and on the whole wasn't overly impressed. Is at a love story or a super hero movie trying to break all the conventions. I think it gets lost in trying to be too smart. As you would expect, Will Smith does offer some light relief from what is an otherwise a spin too much in what is fast becoming an overcrowded Superhero movie market.

Lokis Score a very very generous 5/10

I know what you mean. I saw it when it first came out at the cinema and was a bit disappointed. But I think I expected too much of it because of Will Smith being in it.

Superhero Movie
Surprisingly enjoyable mindless film, I do love a spoof though

Hardly memorable but entertaining and carefree. Nice cameo by Robert Hays of Airplane fame too.
7/10

Nope? Which were they? (although you may have to PM me as to not ruin it for others)

Independence Day

Will Smith
Bill Pullman
Jeff Goldblum et al.

9/10

Classic cheese film. Good sci-fi yarn, well acted by all parts who seem to be generally just having a good time together. Has one of the best motivational speeches ever in it. Only shame is it's so pro-USA.

Ummm... Where Randal *sorry - he'll always be Randal to me* gets 'frosted' when Zack storms out.

Those 14 frames made the MPAA try to rate the film a NC-17, which would have killed it. Kevin Smith appealed the rating and won, so it got turned into a R rated film.
