The Shining

Starring

Jack Nicholson
Shelley Duvall
Scatman Crothers
Danny Lloyd

Psychological thriller

8/10 It's a very good film, tense and well acted throughout, would have got an extra point but Shelley Duvall's startlingly accurate impersonation of a goldfish really started to irritate me.

He used to kung fu all round the house quoting Bruce Lee/Jackie Chan films.

Zoolander

Starring

Ben Stiller
Owen Wilson
Christine Taylor
Will Ferrell

Comedy

6/10 Better than I expected having tried to watch it once before and given up, however it still features Will Ferrell's hopeless overacting. Not really my sort of comedy but not as bad as I had initially thought, I probably wouldn't have watched it if it hadn't been for the fact I had mates who wanted to watch it.

Legendary martial arts film

9/10 There's not too much to say, it is almost certainly the best martial arts film ever made and deserves all the plaudits it has received. It looks a little dated now and there's no wire work so it may be less visually impressive than some more recent martial arts epics but the fighting is simply brilliant.

Magnificent film.

The Spiderwick Chronicles

Enjoyed it.
Far less child-like than I expected it to be, with an all too common story under all the fairy/troll stuff.

7/10.

Mary Poppins

Starring

Julie Andrews
Dick Van Dyke
Some kids

8/10

Christmas isn't Christmas without Dick Van Dykes strangled cock-er-nee accent.

Starship Troopers on Bluray.

Starring: Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Jake Busey

Space war movie really - earth finds big bugs, tries to kill big bugs, big bugs kick earths arse, earth goes for another go....

Watched this primarilly to see if a 10 year old big CGI based film could still look good today. It does. Paul Verhoven did a superb job with the effects in this film - there's only a couple of times where it looks ropey and then it's only for a couple of seconds. The bugs themselves still look wonderful.

I really like this film though, it's not quite a 'brain off' action film but it works really well. Some people say it's an anti-war film - I don't see that really, but it's not a pro war film either.

Comparing this to the other main Alien film that was out in the same year... Alien Resurrection... this pisses all over it from a huge height. The CGI effects still hold up really well whereas in Resurrection they seem dodgy even on the DVD release.

Also, when they were released at the cinema - Starship Troopers was a 15 and Alien Resurrection was an 18. I always though this was the wrong way round as Starship Troopers is a surprisingly violent movie and Resurrection wasn't - VHS releases arrived a year later - Starship Troopers is the 18 and Resurrection was the 15.

Overall I'd give Starship Troopers 8/10 just for pure entertainment value. *but give number 2 and 3 a miss as they SUCK.

Surely an extra point just for the Dina Meyer Milf factor?

Dina Meyer is a MILF?
