I watched Prince Caspian last night and I really enjoyed it, I loved the books when I was yonuger and unlike Harry Potter I haven't read them recently so I'm not looking for plot holes and skips all the time and can just sit back and lose myself a bit. Highly recomended 8/10

If the whole movie hadn't been shot in that style, then I'd completely agree with you.
As it stands, it got really old after about ten minutes in.

Mirrors.

6.5/10

Starts very slowly, and not in a "needs to be in order to set the scene" way.....more like a "slow because it's the only way they could string out a 45 minute script into 105 minutes" way.

Kiefer playing the tortured soul, when in reality many a leading man could've played the part just as well.

Quantum Of Solace

Starring

Daniel Craig
Olga Kurylenko
Mathieu Amalric
Dame Judi Dench

The latest Bond

6/10 It was ok. Thats as far as I can go :/ Casino Royale was much better and cleverer.

I like Daniel Craig as Bond though - he kicks ass!

Transformers (HD-DVD \0/)

Extensive, explosive all out action fest. Awesome special effects and suprisingly long. Story could have been better but at least it was funny

8/10

30 Days of Night:

A surprisingly good vampire flick, it's possibly overtaken nightwatch as my all time favorite. There were a few corny moments and unexplained plot mechanics but the vampires themselves were fantastically realized and the acting was solid. The massacre in Act 2 was absolutely brutal, perfect for the sort of scenario they were depicting.

8/10

Small Faces

Starring

Ian Robertson
Joe McFadden
Steven Duffy
Laura Fraser

Film set in 1960s Glasgow and the gang warfare rife there.

7/10 Entertaining film following three brothers and how they relate to each other, their wider family and peer group. Well worth a watch although I'm advised that the Scottish brogue could be difficult to follow initially as it is pure Glaswegia in places.

Quantum of Solace

7/10

Story was OK but the bad guy had no "presence" at all. There was just nothing to him and when the film finished, I was quite surprised because I thought there was going to be something else. Without revealing too much there was at least one other guy that had "got away" and the "organisation" hadn't really been effectively investigated. I guess that's a setup for the next film but it made QoS seem too episodic and contrived as a result. So, good film but a bit disappointing in terms of poor casting/direction and the story not being developed to a reasonable state of completion.

Dogma

8/10.

Fantastically scripted comedy that was the best pushing of risque humour boundaries surrounding christianity since Monty Python!

Although this specific brand of humour may not appeal to some, notably those fans of what I call 'banana-skin' comedy, the fast-paced screenwriting and scripting is delivered admirably by Chris Rock, Alan Rickman and to a lesser extent- Matt Damon.

Some brilliant comedy undertones of race, sexism and mythology - a huge variation on numerous stories from Christian history are portrayed with effective modern conversion : Loki, The angel of death's flaming blade of justice is replaced with a high calibre hand gun "We call this piece the Fecalator--one look at it and the target s***s him or herself.".

Some simpler humour is provided from the unchanging Jay & Silent Bob- the F's & S's profanity toilet humour is not usually my kind of 'belly-laugh' material, usually prefering a witty line to a big parp, yet this proved an exception to the rule (much like south park!) and I found myself exclaiming with mirth with the onscreen appearance from "The Excremental" (aka S*** Demon)!

All in all, a really refreshing comedy production that I thoroughly enjoyed. The cast really is huge (Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Chris Rock, Salma Hayek, Alan Rickman, Jason Lee, George Carlin and even a cheeky appearance from Alanis Morsette!).

I recommend this to those who haven't experienced it, and to those who have enjoyed it before- watch it again! There is so much packed into this film you will continue to pick up more with each viewing
