Horrible Bosses 8/10

Pretty funny, some real laugh out loud moments. Drops off a little towards the end and the ending is farcial, but I'd still say it's worth a watch. I'd not have been disappointed if I'd paid to see it. I think Jenny A makes it worthwhile watching for the boys on her own

Captain America

9/10

Loved it. By far and above one of the best Superhero movies to come out of Hollywood in years. Hugo Weaving was suitably menacing as the Red Skull, but it's really rather hard not to hear him in evil roles and not expect him to say "Mr Anderson" in the next breath. Was great to see Dominic Cooper still picking up a diverse set of roles.

Some good laugh out loud moments, good action sequences, and for the first time in a while with one of these genre films, my heart got pounding.

-0.5 because: Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

The CGI of Chris as a weakling felt a little off at times, his head seemed out of proportion with his body.

End Spoiler Alert!
-0.5 more because: Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

The technology.. it felt too odd that hydra had submarines and other devices using technology way ahead of their time, as if a lack of an abundance of energy was the only thing holding people back in the 40s, not the comparatively immature state of scientific knowledge. The original story line would have been better.

End Spoiler Alert!

Looking forward to The Avengers next year. With Joss Whedon at the helm and such a talented ensemble it will hopefully be a strong showing.

Con Air

Starring
  • Nicholas Cage
  • Colm Meaney
  • John Cusack
  • Mykelti Williamson
Prison escape film

7/10 It's rubbish on any number of levels and yet great at the same time because it's so overblown and silly. I've said it before and I'll say it again, whoever thought that Nicholas Cage should have a Southern accent was a stone cold genius. There's also a fine ensemble cast including John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi and Ving Rhames.

Gladiator

Starring
  • Russell Crowe
  • Joaquin Phoenix
  • Connie Nielsen
  • Oliver Reed
Historical epic

8/10 A good film with some great performances, maybe a bit overlong though.

Watchmen

Starring
  • Malin Akerman
  • Billy Crudup
  • Matthew Goode
  • Jackie Earle Haley
Graphic novel adaptation

8/10 I've never read the graphic novels that this was based on and I really knew very little about this before buying it but it's very good indeed. Possibly a little flawed but entertaining, engaging and actually presents a fairly mature and dark fantasy world. It might have been easy to just play this for laughs but that hasn't been done and that is to be applauded.
