Great film, one of my favourite romcoms.

and by the end of the film, due to a couple of hints throughout you are thinking "oooo... is there a sequel? I hope so... wikipedia time - woo woo!" (I believe there is so in May 2010 - looks like I have my Birthday evening planned already

)

Did you spot the terrorists group was called the "Ten Rings"? That's a fairly big hint there for a future film, plus of course you'll have War Machine for certain.
Along with next Iron Man film you've got Captain America and Thor all in production / casting, you've got a reasonable Avengers line up. I don't see any indication of The Wasp or AntMan film, but that doesn't necessarily mean they won't be in The Avengers. Stark appeared in the latest Hulk film talking about the Avengers intiative so I'm guessing Hulk'll be in the line up (he was initially in the comic books anyway)

Maybe a film that is best left for the big screen rather than a 7" LCD on an airplane but really wasn't impressed. The action sequences smacked of yet another Matrix rip off, the story line was merely filler and James McAvoy didn't do himself proud.

5/10

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Just watch one of the previous films. The story line is identical but they have Rachael Weiss in them.

2/10

The Dish

Umm. Okay? It was an all right film, acting was good but it just seemed to be missing the simple idea of something happening. All the characters were two dimensional and utterly predictable, the exchanges were predictable and the drama almost non-existant. The only really cool thing was the archive clips.
Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

Oh no, we've lost tracking. Oh no we found it again.
Oh no Geek is in love with beautiful girl but is too scared to say anything to her. Oh no, someone gives him advice and he finally gets the nerve up to ask her in a predictable stammer and finds she likes him too.
Oh no, THE WIND! Lawks a lawdy, the wind! Oh no.. no, it's okay, the dish moved. The attempts to build up suspense at that stage was decidedly laughable.

End Spoiler Alert!

I think "Charming" would be the best description.

4/10

Really enjoyable feel good film. Nothing hugely memorable and very predictable but it was very refreshing to see a film that simply made me smile throughout

Had some good laugh out loud moments too

8/10

50 is bordering on GILF.

The Reader
Kate Winslet is amazing in this very emotionally charged and hard hitting film. I wasn't sure if i was enjoying it until half way through. Then something clicked and from then on i was enthralled. Definitely not a light film and not one i would watch again soon.
Reduced me to tears at one point which is always a sign of how much i enojoyed it, i don't cry at just any film. Wall.E had no effect on me at all.

7/10 Wonderfully acted by all, great story.

Pirates of The Carribean.

I think you all are pretty much aware of my feelings for this film.

I can't get enough of ~~him~~ it.

Seriously though, if you've not seen this film it's truly fantastic! Full of pillaging scallywags, wenches, spankingly stupendous sword scenes, twists and turns in the tale and just general banter and hubbub

I begrudingly have to admit that despite Keira Knightley could win Miss Pout Queen of The Universe (in this film), her depiction of the wanna-be-pirate-come-govenors-daughter is pretty much spot on. (There's only one other person I think would suit the role a million times over and that's me.**) Orlando Bloom somewhat irritates me in this... not massively but I can feel a slight twitch or cringe in some scenes bumbling inside me. I think for the script though he is well suited and overall does a superb job!

Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow (yes yes, he needs a paragraph to himself) is a GOD. I don't know how Mister Depp does it but every character he seems to play he makes them all so unique in their own little ways. His acting is... top class. Captain Jack Sparrow really steals the show in this though with his conniving and genius/insane pirate ways. Plus he's an incredibly *insert whatever word you think I may be thinking*

What's amazing though, despite being so darn HAWT in the film, he doesn't detract from the storyline as such.. as in... you don't just sit there staring at him and ignoring all else which is going on. Unless you put it on pause.

*ahem*

Anyway!

It's just... all of it... it's such a brilliant tale. It's so captivating and brilliantly produced, filmed and acted! On top of that, the scenery is truly gorgeous and somewhat magical and the costume design is superb... everything just looks so authentic! Might have something to do with watching this in HD but it's just so bright and colourful and enticing!

It's not just a bog standard film... it keeps you on your toes

Fantastic family film, though I think it's suitable for anyone!

WATCH IT!

My biased score:

100,000,000.002/10

My unbiased score:

9/10

**Nb this has nothing to do with the fact she gets to snog Captain Jack Sparrow in the sequel. Nothing. Honest gov.

Equilibrium

With the divine Mr Bale and two blokes from prison break!

everytime I watch a film I kinda forget what its about :/ but its basically Matrix come Demolition Man cool (unbelievable

) fight scenes, CB and cute dog

9/10

1 point less because I insist the head bad guy was poorly cast as he looks like a chump.

[In reference to pirates of the Caribbean] Aye, it was a great film, the second one was ok and the third was an abomination. Such a shame.

[In reference to equilibrium] Utterly sublime film. One of my favorite action flicks ever.
