Crank: High Voltage

Chev Chelios is back. Only this time his heart has been stolen and replaced with a temporary one which has to be kept charged up. That there is the whole storyline. Although it was enjoyable as the first in a take your brain out kind of way. I think whoever wrote the script must have been taking acid as some of the scenes are just plain bizzare, like a fight between Statham and a Chinese bloke which is very reminiscent of the old Godzilla movies. It looks like they could have left it open for a third, which I hope they don't as they really can't do anything else after this without it being completely stupid.

7/10

Watchmen: Directors Cut

I think everyone here has said everything that needs to be said. An awesome film and one I could watch again and again even at close to 3 hours long. Although Dr Manhattan's penis is quite distracting at times :/

9/10

Pans Labyrinth

I have to say that generally I like Guillermo del Toro's work. This was pretentious bollocks though.

Although, beautifully filmed *as expected with del Toro* and the sets and costumes for Pan and the pale man in particular were spectacular.

All I wanted to do was watch it on fast forward *1.3x so I still have sound* to get it over with faster. But I stuck with it and ended up feeling rather bored and unimpressed by what little story there is.

2.5/10

Glad I'm not the only one who went through that.

I kept accidently shifting focus.

Push

This film wasn't as bad as some of the reviews I've read on it. It starts off by saying in this world there are those that possess special abilities; Pushers can move matter, Sniffers by smelling can gain knowledge of the past of an object, Watchers can see into the future and another type can insert lies into another's head and force him to believe they are truths. Finally another type screams and can shatter matter. They are all "owned" by a military arm.

The story's set in Hong Kong as the main characters move about trying to piece together why everybody's after a girl, and a suitcase...

The tale isn't too bad, nothing really unoriginal though it moves fairly quickly. The special effects as can be imagined are pretty good and looked really snazzy on Blu-Ray.

The actors aren't that well known and they played their parts well. A good mindless Sunday evening film I reckon.

5.5/10

It's actually put me off watching the other couple of foreign language films that I have yet to watch.

I am currently looking at my stack of DVD's and wondering how many I can watch over the weekend...

Although, I do have a film I've never watched sat next to me thats tempting. Jaws. Owned it for a couple of years, never seen it on TV, at the cinema, on VHS or DVD. I have no idea why I've never watched it.
