Law Abiding citizen was fantastic, almost wanted him to win in the end.

It was a definitely, rather than an almost, for me.

Eternal Sunshine OF The Spotless Mind.

Would have been a great film if I was getting a running commentary on what was happening and why

I'd like to have watched it without someone pretty much spoiling it so now it's just an okay film

I don't understand why people insist on telling you what's going on because they have previously seen a film.

When anyone starts speaking during a film I'm particularly engrossed in I ask them to pretend were in the cinema watching the premiere

I'll never forgive the smelly plonker at the cinema who, whilst I was queing up to buy my Sixth Sense tickets, walked past shouting : ((spoilers as you never know!))

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

"I can't believe Bruce Willis was dead the whole time!"

End Spoiler Alert!

It meant nothing to anyone of course, but about 10 minutes in the whole film was spoiled

The Boat That Rocked

I'm a bit of an old anorak so there will be no surprise that I enjoyed this film. The story was a bit contrived but the basis in truth was there, the government did hate the pirates but I don't think the campaign was quite like that to get them off the air.

Of course, Radio Caroline continued after the Marine Offences Act was passed and was later joined in the North Sea by my favourite station, Laser 558 but enough of that.

Good film, great soundtrack although I felt the ending was a little sudden.

8/10

New York I Love You

This was recommended by a few people yet still I watched it after some hesitation. The mould of the film isn't one long continuous story but rather several all sharing a common theme; the title gives away what that is. Therefore the film has several directors and writers who give their own short excerpt of their own interpretation of this theme. Portraying the roles are plenty of actors and there are some well known names including Natalie Portman, Orlando Bloom, Shia "OOPPPTTTTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSS" La Beouf*.

Each little clip is well thought out and for some parts you're given the beginning before having to wait for a conclusion later on. There are a few twists to some of them which I enjoyed. Since dialogue is a key part of this the scripts ensure the whole film is good and the actors have a good go at their parts. They do a good job with various accents as well. *It should be noted that after almost typecasting himself as an annoying loud/shouty teenager (Bobby, Eagle Eye, Transformers I & II) Shia La Beouf does an excellent job in a completely different role.

The score's pretty decent and being in New York you're given a healthy dose of "Blu-Ray" shots from time to time. Unsurprisingly it is a very wet film and like I thought beforehand you can't be in the wrong mood to watch it.

7/10

Road House

Starring

Patrick Swayze
Kelly Lynch
Sam Elliott
Ben Gazzara

Action film

8/10 Patrick Swayze's finest moment, the magnum opus of his career (and no before anyone suggests it Dirty Dancing isn't even close

). It's trashy, it's silly and it's no less brilliant for all that - how can you not love a film with such classic and erudite repartee as:
Man in bar: "how about we get nipple to nipple"
Denise: "I don't need you to do that"
You've got to admire a film that is confident enough in its own quality to let that be used.

2012.

Very enjoyable, even more SFX than Independance day, flows along nicely with some nice nice little 'grin' moments.

The bit about how the neutrinos were acting was annoying though!

Yeah, as mentioned a few pages back, I don't think it aged too well!
