I'll chip in a couple of reviews of films I've watched recently
The Strangers
Claims to be "based on true events" which opens the film quite nicely, then the film decends into generic creepy film territory with masked people silently wandering around attempting to kill the main characters.
Storyline is somewhat lacking in all respects, and I found out after watching the film that the only true event in the film was a short section at the start that lasted about 5 minutes of film, the rest is all made up.
Quite creepy, un-nerved me slightly, had a "halloween 1" feel to it which I think is what was aimed for
After the credits had rolled I thought "what actually happened" and left the cinema in slight confusion feeling like I had gotten slightly stupider and wondered what the purpose of the film was.
Overall Rating : 2.5/10

Death Race
Wasn't expecting much with this film except for some cool effects, double-hard looking cars and a bit of ultra-violence.
And well I wasn't disappointed!
Infact pleasantly surprised as they even put a vague storyline to the film which added a nice touch
Very fun film, very cool car races and good explosions
Can't fault any part of it at all really.
If you want to go out and watch a fun action film where you don't have to think too much then this is definitely for you.
Overall Rating : 8/10
