Prince of Persia - Sands of Time
Wonderfully silly with some great action sequences and top class eye candy for men and women. Oh and Jeff from Coupling is in it which I thought was utterly brilliant! Only let down by the occasional dodgy bit of CGI and a plot as flimsy as Ann Summers lingerie. 7/10 |

Without searching for the original post, which film was this?

Iron Man 2
Was ok, in comparison to the first, the first one was really good. I didn't get: Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read! Mickey Rouke's character - I thought could have been linked to Tony Stark - did I miss something? As it appears that he's just a total random, with the knowledge to build machines like Tony... End Spoiler Alert! It was ok. I like Scarlett and Gynweth and RDJ. Easy to watch. 6.5/10 BB x |

Mickey Rourke's character's father helped create the original arc reactor with Tony Stark's father years ago. But Rourke's Dad was corrupt and tried to sell the secrets to some dodgy country (then got kicked out of the US for doing so) while Stark's wanted to use it for other means. This meant that Rourke's father died in poverty albeit with the relevant blueprints which he handed down to Rourke to develop with the aim to destroy Stark. End Spoiler Alert! That's from memory so I might be slightly inaccurate somewhere but basic gist of it

GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra
This has been recently added to netflix streaming, and I was looking for a random film to watch last night. Oh dear. About 1/4 of the way through I commented to Kari (who was doing homework) that I couldn't figure out if it was cheesy good or cheesy bad. It got worse. The writing is atrocious and the plot even worse, though the acting is reasonable. You just can't polish a turd though. 2/10 ================ Invictus Set around the fall of the Apartheid regime and the rise of South Africa as a nation, culminating in the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Mostly the film is about the nation and the people with the sport being just the pivot around which the film revolves. Good acting, Morgan Freeman does a superb job as Mandela. Matt Damon does a good job as the captain François Pienaar. There wasn't much for him to get his teeth into though. Brilliantly directed by Clint Eastwood, a man I'm gaining great respect for as a Director. He picks his films well. 8/10 - Slow mo in the rugby matches to highlight tension was irritating, but solid film regardless.
