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.

Have to echo divine, I saw it Wednesday and it was brilliant

Very funny and well worth a watch.

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

Will this still be on at the cinema around the 5th July?

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.

Transformers II - Revenge of the Fallen

It's not even worth me writing this really, as I won't be objective. I'll admit I used to love the toys and cartoons for years as a kid and it still rocks my trousers seeing them on the big screen like that.

Yes, there are plot holes, slightly non-canonical quirks and it's cheesy in places. However I expected that, and in all honesty it's what is to be expected from Michael Bay. Go see it for a few hours of brain dead fun, giant robots, fantastic visuals, great sound effects and if you want, Meg Fox in white trousers (giggidy).

Film snobs have berated this, but it isn't supposed to be a brilliant film it's just supposed to be awesome (dude). Anybody expecting anything else probably doesn't know anything about the Transformers and their target audience, or dopily went into the wrong screen.

However, I do envy that the Batman series were/are clearly the movies that were given the best in the industry - it does show what can happen with the right attention to films being made that are based on ANY comic books. It's a pity that they couldn't do this with the Transformers since I reckon with all the brilliant special effects it would have been a Batman beater.

9.5/10
