Maybe it's because I haven't read the book in a while and saw the film again last night, but the film in its own right is so well done, so beautifully shot and written that I think it would be unfair to make too close a comparison. After all, how many films adapted from books are ever a patch on the original story anyway?

Transformers II, rise of the fallen

Action scenes where few for an action film. They also loved there close up, so you couldn't see anything.
It was very slow paced for most of it and then they won so easily at he end.
Then we come to the comedy, the first film had a nice balance of comedy. But this one was one comedy scene to the next. Literally hundreds of comedy scenes.

The black homie bots were annoying, the small bots where annoying, the comedy was annoying and to op it of Fox looks like she's had her lips done.

very poor movie

3/10

Currently watching

The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas

The kids are half watching it and will moan like buggery if I turn it off. It's not as good as the first Flintstones movie, the casting's all wrong. And Wilma is hotter than Betty.

What's with the little green alien as well?

4/10

The Hangover

Far far funnier than I was expecting. Some very novel and unpredictable twists in there, plenty of laughs, Mike Tyson singing and much more.

Definitely recommend!

8/10

edit - no, make that 9/10 it was brilliant. If you're going to the flicks this weekend, sod the rest - this will be better.

The Unborn

85 minutes I could've used for something else TBH.
REALLY surprised that Gary Oldman signed up for this one, although I suppose the script showed more promise than they were able to bestow upon the finished product.

Black Sheep

Zombie sheep? What more does a film need. Reminded me of early Peter Jackson, but a bit less messy. Started slowly but by improved about 1/2 way through and drew me in a bit more.

6/10 first half, 7/10 second half.

Capricorn One

Charles Brubaker is the astronaut leading NASA's first manned mission to Mars. Seconds before the launch, the entire team is pulled from the capsule and the rocket leaves earth unmanned much to Brubaker's anger. The head of the programme explains that the life support system was faulty and that NASA can't afford the publicity of a scratched mission. The plan is to fake the Mars landing and keep the astronauts at a remote base until the mission is over, but then investigative journalist Robert Caulfield starts to suspect something.

Truly excellent film. Was recommended it by my Dad and I've only just got it from Lovefilm.

Wonderfully written and acted.

9/10
