Watched "Jumper" today, which looked like it was made for TV. Ok, but nothing to shout about. The kind of movie that doesn't deserve (or require) your full attention, if you know what I mean.

Big Stan.

I LOVE Rob Schneider, but this is a bit thin TBH. Really funny in places, but those places are few and far between. Personally, I think he took this on just because he was allowed to direct it, but I'm a sceptic.

6/10.

Such a great film.

Watched Mirrors - absolute garbage, unless you are a huge fan of Keifer Sutherland, or mirrors themselves, then stay away, rubbish plot.

Very good some well played characters and a good albeit familiar storyline 7/10

Nice work from Russell Brand too

Pans Labyrinth.

Good film. The brutality surrounding the young girl was horrible.

Oh I watched Cloverfield. Watching a load of good looking rich people getting killed by beasties was quite fun. I did not 'feel' for any of the characters so enjoyed watching them getting gobbled up.

7/10

Hellboy 2. Pretty good effects and a decent performance by Perlman. We enjoyed it but will ultimately forget about it.

7/10

A mix of Bourne Identity-style action with a rather dark story makes it a thoroughly enjoyable film. The plot may put the women off visiting Paris. Liam Neeson does a good job of balancing his killer-ness and his desperation. Some of the scenes are surprisingly depressing too (depending on your past experiences).

7.5/10 - Would have been higher, but having watched Ronin the night before, I do feel the camera work could be better!
I agree whole heartedly, watched this tonight - fantastic film.

I didn't watch Ronin last night, so I'd say 8 out of 10
