Been meaning to post in here for ages, just for my own reference really, but this is what I can remember!

Cloud Atlas 9/10

Really enjoyed this. Loved trying to figure out where all the threads link together. Kept us talking way into the night.

Les Mis : 7.5

I didn't realise they sang all the way through! Enjoyed it though and when I found out they didn't use a dubbing track, I was more impressed with the voices than I was at first, they sounded a bit shouty in the cinema. Good but not really my thang.


Superman 8.5/10

Well, I've loved Henry Cavill for years, although I prefer him with his clothes on Was worried about how he would be taken as Superman, but needed have worried because he was really good. Lots of realistic action with some unrealistic superpowers thrown in. Didn't hate Isla Fisher as Lois Lane either, which makes a nice change -I usually think Lois is cast as a selfish, self obsessed cowbag who doesn't deserve saving. Also loved the CGI nod to Christopher Reeve near the end.

Star Trek 2: 10/10

Obviously More of the same. Awesomeness. Love the parallels and the contradictions between The Wrath of Khan and this movie.

Iron Man 3 : 8/10

Most of the points are obviously just for having RDJ in it. More of the same as the other two really, but still a good way to spend a few hours. These films tend to grow on me so when I've watched it a few more times I'll probably give it a higher score. Liked the relationship between Stark and the little kid.

World War Z: 7/10

This was ok but totally different to the book. Brad Pitt makes it really but still a decent zombie movie.


After Earth : 6/10

Hmmmm. It was ok. That's all I can say.

Oblivion : 6.5/10

Had been looking forward to this, and while the concept & execution were both OK, it was ruined for me by ending up as purely a vehicle for the omnipresent Tom Cruise. His story was not the most exciting in the film but it was hugely concentrated on his character and what happened to him.

The Heat : 7/10

Surprisingly funny. Got a free showing of this, so went along not expecting much, but was quite pleasantly surprised. Typical sort of good cop/mad cop type thing, but Melissa McCarthy is very funny and incredibly irritating at the same time. There were some real laugh out loud moments in the cinema.

Despicable Me 2 : 9/10

Well, what can you say. If you liked 1, you'll like 2.


Monsters Uni : 10/10

I love the Monsters, and this is a brilliant follow up. Mike is just THE CUTEST THING EVER.

Now you see me : 7/10

Illusionists stage a series of 'heists'. Quite difficult to describe without giving anything away, so I won't, however most of the main characters are hard to like, and Mark Ruffalo plays his usual grizzly annoying Cop. Worth a watch, although I'd wait and see it on video.

The World's End 8/10

I really enjoyed this. I actually preferred this to the first 2 in the trilogy, but then I did think that the dialogue was far better in this one. There's more poignancy too, as the characters are older and the relationships are an interesting side story. I might have to watch Hot Fuzz again for some more comparisons but definitely liked it more than SOTD.
