Really enjoyable. Not as much depth as previous Coen Brothers films, and probably nothing overly memorable, but still very enjoyable and an entertaining 90mins imo

8/10
I SO want to see this!

Fantastic film, especially if you enjoy history and beautiful costumes, and good acting. Cate Blanchett is very good. Wish I'd watched the first one again before seeing this one; however it didn't spoil the enjoyment.
Ignoring the fact that the historical element of the film was highly misleading at best, pure fiction at worst... Yup, it was OK

The Incredible Hulk
5/10

As in Edward Norton film from this year.. hmm.
Just.. hmmm.

Not bad, but not particularly good either. Not enough to make me think "I want my time back" but not one to go out of your way to watch. About the only remotely interesting point of it was Robert Downey Jr's brief appearance as Tony Stark dropping more hints of an Avengers movie being in the works (following on from the post credits scene from Iron Man) For the most part the actors did good jobs with their roles, as far as the material allowed them to, with the exception of Mr Norton himself. Generally I like his stuff, I think this just wasn't the right role for him. He never really managed to convince me that he was struggling with the inner Hulk as much as the film seemed to be implying he was.

In places, yeah. They tried to play a lot more to the FX's strengths rather than just shoving them in any ol' place, e.g. mainly in darkness and poorly lit environments when it doesn't feel quite so ugly. The daylight scenes still felt a bit weird, in particular when Tim Roth's character does the solo attack on Hulk, that felt bad to me.

6/10.
There's a fillum called Big Stan Must watch that

Watched Hancock on the plane back from Egypt this time.

Thoroughly disappointed. This film has no good points whatsoever and made me yawn all the way through. Plot was so weak, it's not even worth summarising.

2/10

Mirrors with Kiefer Sutherland

3/10

Godawful, full of silly scares where nothing actually happens. Avoid like the plague.

Horror wise the fitting room part was the best the rest as you say was pap, shame, old Keifer doesn't seem to be able to pick them like he used to
