Sunshine
7/10 I really enjoyed it But: Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read! But how the hell did he survive and get back on bored. If it wasn't for this it would get a lot higher score. Fine I can understand people want to sabotage it, but don't just suddenly turn it into a horror, at least explain how he survived and got on bored. Or did I miss something End Spoiler Alert!

When it mentioned there was an extra crew member on board, that it would turn out that the computer was actually a person plugged into the system that they didn't know about (like a sort of symbiotic android/human kind of thing) and somehow was corrupting the mission. But no, it was some loony who'd been hanging out in space for years and somehow crept aboard. Lame. End Spoiler Alert!

I love the Green Mile......but cant watch it on my own!!
Started watching it last night, watched it all the way up to the Mr Jingles part...then remembered what came next....and thought to myself...No Emma, you do not have the mental strength to watch that right now! So went to bed!!! I have never cried so much in my life watching this film, well maybe equalled with reading the book...

The Butterfly Effect
I think I reviewed this before when I saw it for the first time. I gave it 10/10. Having just watched it for the second time a few years on, I was absolutely spot on. Like my housemate said; "I've no idea how long I've been watching this. Could have been three hours for all I know." Just a transfixing movie - Ashton Kutcher is superb and so are the kids playing the characters at various ages. And I ****ing hate Ashton Kutcher. One of my top ten films of all time.

Monsters Vs Aliens
Weak story, animation at Incredibles level, some really obvious and poor jokes. But, I still enjoyed it. Not up to Shrek levels and nowhere close to any of Pixars latest, but it amused for 90 minutes. 7/10 It would have helped if the film wasn't designed around 3d and as such had things pointing towards the screen with fairly alarming regularity. 3d effects work best when they are subtle... The 3d short had moments of pointyitus, but for the most part was pretty subtle effects. However, the pink and green glasses absolutely killed the colourschemes. The best two tone glasses for 3d that I've found have been the ones used for C4's 3d week - that was remarkably good colour preservation.

Star Trek
Mostly rubbish, but with excellent performances from Nimoy, Pegg and Bana. Really could have done with more from Pegg rather than just the half a film he was in. If it wasn't Trek I don't think it would have been anywhere near as successful. You really should know some of the back story before watching this. Pet hate though - hand held cameras and short cuts in action scenes to make it look more 'exciting' Stop it! It's a bloody bad habit you've got into. Although looking at that Abrams has directed before - I'm actually surprised that it was as good as it was. 6/10

Simples, he survived as the life support systems aboard the ship were still functioning and the gardens were still growing. He harvested food from the gardens while being all twitchy and mental in the ship. He got aboard by crossing the connection between the two ships, as soon as he had done so he then detonated the connection (thus causing the whole 'shoot out of a airlock sequence'), i would also imagine the distraction from part of the ship blowing up drew peoples' attention away from the security cameras, thus allowing him to sneak aboard unnoticed. It had only been few years since the previous mission so it's not infeasible he could have survived just living off of the food grown in the garden. Also, how do you know the rest of the crew weren't alive for a period of time until the Icarus II showed up? For all we know they could have all been pottering about in a fully functioning, but disabled, ship for years and then topped themselves. End Spoiler Alert!

Awful film with the actresses not being up to the quality required, a prime example being Cameron Diaz. She's good in romantic comedies, but this is far beyond her rather limited scope as an actress. Abagail Breslin is quite talented, but she just doesn't do it for me either. Read the book, it's amazing (and different.)
