Sucker Punch

Starring
  • Emily Browning
  • Abbie Cornish
  • Jena Malone
  • Vanessa Hudgens
Action/fantasy film

6/10 Some decent action and interesting CGI but the story is pretty weak, as long as you don't go expecting anything much you should be fine.

I Am Number 4

Starring
  • Bradley Cooper
  • Robert De Niro
  • Abbie Cornish
  • Andrew Howard
Action thriller

6/10 I was a bit disappointed with this as I'd heard some good things about it but for someone who's supposed to be of "unlimited" potential the main character seems to fail to make some fairly simple deductions - maybe it was trying to keep it interesting but I think it was an idea that delivered less than it promised.

Happythankyoumoreplease

Starring
  • Malin Akerman
  • Michael Algieri
  • Bram Barouh
  • Dana Barron
Drama

5/10 Just a bit indifferent to this one, maybe it was that I was watching during a long day of travelling or that it doesn't seem to go anywhere much but it meanders along without really showing or telling me much - that's probably partly the point but not a film I'd rush to watch again.

Senna


The story of the monumental life and tragic death of legendary Brazilian motor-racing Champion, Ayrton Senna. Spanning the decade from his arrival in Formula One in the mid 80's, the film follows Senna's struggles both on track against his nemesis, French World Champion Alain Prost, and off it, against the politics which infest the sport.

10/10
An absolutely unbelievably good film about his career and life. If you have any interest in motorsport or like programs/documentrys/films on amazing people. Then this is easily a must watch. I wouldn't be surprised if people who didn't like Motorsport would still liked this.

Were we on the same flight?! These two were on my flight too and I can 100% guarantee that Mr Bradley Cooper is NOT in I am Number 4.

I know this because HAD he been in it I would not have fallen asleep when I watched it...

Twice :/

Yep, sorry I just forgot to change the name but Jen is right, it was Limitless. I can't remember if Sucker Punch was an option on my flight out but I watched it at a mates house on AppleTV - incidentally this contraption has an interface that makes even the simplest of tasks into a real chore.

If you were flying with either Air Canada then that might explain the similarities in film choices but I don't imagine you were. However with United on the way back was when I got Limitless and I'd forgotten that I watched most of Paul as well - reasonably funny from what I saw but since I don't know how much I missed it wouldn't be totally fair to review it.

Rocky Balboa

Starring
  • Sylvester Stallone
  • Burt Young
  • Antonio Tarver
  • Geraldine Hughes
It's a Rocky film - what do you expect?

7/10 Better than I feared it would be considering Stallone isn't exactly in his prime but concentrates on a story and is a good fun film.

Harry Brown

Starring
  • Michael Caine
  • Emily Mortimer
  • Charlie Creed-Miles
  • David Bradley
Thriller

8/10 The closest comparison I can think of is probably Gran Torino although in some ways it's somewhat less believable. It's a good film overall and well acted though.

lol they must be doing the rounds...yeah we had Limitless too & although it was tempting to have some BC time seen it b4.

Instead I got it from 'Hes just not that into you' which was a nice easy film to watch.

Also watched Despicable Me.

Both which made me cry :/ (HJNTIY-twice!)

Drive Angry

A tongue-in-cheek and hugely enjoyable action blast, full of smoking-hot cars and drop-dead gorgeous women, with Nicolas Cage on top form. Milton (Cage) is a hardened - albeit dead - criminal who has so far spent his afterlife in Hell. Enraged by the murder of his daughter and the imminent sacrifice of his baby granddaughter by a brutal religious cult, Milton breaks out to stop the REAL evil-doers before they fully unleash Hell on Earth. Aided by a seriously hot and sassy waitress Piper (AMBER HEARD – All The Boys Love Mandy Lane) and driving a cherry red muscle car which Piper liberates from her meat-head ex, Milton is blazing a trail in pursuit of the brutal cult leader. But Milton's being hounded too – not only by the police but by an enigmatic character known only as The Accountant (a scene stealing WILLIAM FICHTNER from Entourage and Prison Break), who has been sent by the Devil to bring Milton back to Hell. Milton is mad, bad and Hell-bent on achieving his goal. He's breaking all the rules, but what are they gonna do – not let him back in?

7.5/10
Reminds me of ghost rider, but unlike ghost rider it's done very well. It's as described, it is indeed hugely enjoyable tongue in cheek. Also omg Amber Heard is amazingly sexy *drools* she's bisexual and loves American muscle cars and guns. Think I've found my future wife.
