Doomsday

Starring
  • Rhona Mitra
  • Bob Hoskins
  • David O'Hara
  • Craig Conway
Post-apocalyptic style film

8/10 It's violent, it's cheesy, it's got glaring plot holes and it's not even particularly well acted but it is fun so provided you take it on it's merits it is worth the watch. This isn't a film that ever set out to be clever or stir the emotions, it is simple visceral entertainment. That and it features Rhona Mitra's arse prominantly, that's always a bit of a winner.

Bedazzled

Starring
  • Brendan Fraser
  • Liz Hurley
Hmm... chick flick?

2/10 Rubbish and repetitive. LH is the Devil... apparently and grants BF wishes.

It was on tv and nothing else was on

On the plus side, the movie reminded me how truly beautiful Liz Hurley is.

You're forgetting the legend that is Malcom McDowall

Rhona Mitra's arse made the film, without it, it would be another generic action.

Spotted a film with a crazy title, Kung Fu Panda. It's actually a Dreamworks film and is pretty damn funny. A star studded cast as well with Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Jacky Chan and Lucy Liu. I knew this was going to be good when in the first few mins you get this line:-

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!


He blinded his enemies with his awesomeness


End Spoiler Alert!

That really had me cracking up. A good film and one I'll be watching again as there is bound to be tonnes of stuff I missed.

Its a big fat Panda doing Kung Fu alongside hardcore trained warriors.

9/10

Spooky, I watched that Sat night as well (wanted to see it in the cinema, but missed it).

And yup, I'd go 9/10 as well

Watched Die Hard last night.

Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman. I often get the Die Hard and Lethal Weapon series' mixed up, but Die Hard is still the best of the lot.

Quality and cheesy acting mixed beautifully with plenty of gratuitious violence.

10/10 from me.

Wall E

Watched this last night and it's absolutely great How they manage to get so much character out of something that doesn't talk is amazing. When so many real films can be a big letdown, why is it you can always rely on the animation films to get it right?

10/10

Step Up 2....

Plot is absurd, characters are cliched and predictable ending, but I quite enjoyed it lol, turned off that part of the brain that asks questions and just enjoyed it for what it is, plus the dancing was wicked !

6/10

Drop Dead Gorgeous

Starring
  • Kirsten Dunst
  • Ellen Barkin
  • Allison Janney
  • Denise Richards
Small-town American beauty pagent gets violent

7/10 A whole lot better than I was expecting, it's pretty oddball and the mind of whoever created it is surely a very disturbed place but very funny in places.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

Starring
  • Ron Perlman
  • Selma Blair
  • Doug Jones
  • James Dodd
The next installment of the comic book adaptation

6/10 Not a terrible film but it was missing some of the humour and style of the original. It also features Luke Goss which is weird.

Shoot 'Em Up

Starring
  • Clive Owen
  • Paul Giamatti
  • Monica Bellucci
  • Stephen McHattie
Action film with a strange hero

7/10 Entertaining but don't expect anything complex or involving, switch off your brain and enjoy it in all its improbability. I also struggled to take Paul Giamatti seriously as a bad guy which was a major negative for this.
