Shaolin Soccer

6.5/10

With a sense of humour very similar to "Kung Fu Hustle" and similar levels of CGI usage for pranks, it's a reasonably amusing ride. However it badly lacks the cohesion that Kung Fu Hustle possessed and left me thinking "huh?" occasionally.

Bunch of Shaolin monks decide to form a soccer team to gain fame and riches after failing to make a start on life outside of the monastery. All that stands between them and $1m is Team Evil.

If you enjoyed Kung Fu Hustle you'll probably enjoy this film. It wasn't a waste of time, had numerous laugh out loud moments... I just can't quite see myself rushing to watch this again at all (unlike KFH)

I was enthralled as the narative rolled out ahead of me like a green field full of wild flowers, the character acting is worthy of the highest acclaim and I believe that we have found some true stars here.

A must see

Me n Jingo Beee went to see Up in 3D

IT WAS AWESOME. Plus we stole the 3D glasses cuz they were sooo cool!
Both of our eyes weed a bit during the film, but it is so so good!

Def worth a watch! Best Disney film to come out for ages!

The French Connection

Yet another classic that I'd never seen.

Gene Hackman with hair! Who would'a thunked it!
Great chase scene though - Villain in train above the road, hero in car chasing on the road.

Great film

8/10

Moon

This is quite a special little film which breaks a lot of new ground in sci fi, don't expect a sci-fi blockbuster but expect to be charmed and confused.

Magnolia

3 hours! Thats how much of my life I'm not getting back!

I can't even say that it was pretentious w@nk... It was just dull. I found myself wanting to skip entire chapters just to get it over with.

Performance wise, Julianne Moore and Philip Seymour Hoffman rocked it for me - such a shame about the rest of the film.

Oh and a rain of frogs? Really? Run out of ideas and just decide to open the bible at a random page?

1.5/10
