Knowing

Starts poorly, gets better then SMACK! an ending of pure fail

Mostly 6/10 diving to a 1/10 and that's generous

Wolverine Origins

Ok, its Wolverine so you'd have to try really hard to make it suck, its not a proper Xmen movie but it wills in the gaps, young Patrick Stewart is hilarious

I liked this, but I felt it lacking for reasons I can't put my finger on. The young Prof. X had the same makeup as he did in "The Last Stand" IIRC.

Don't think I've seen the film, know it exists though. The book is very very good though, read it quite a few times

Just watched Grand Torino.

Easily the best film I've watched this year so far. 9.5/10 for a very entertaining and poigniont (sp!) film.

My Wife and eldest daughter watched Taken last night whilst I was on the Xbox 360 in the same room, I ended up putting the controller down to watch the film, very good, one of the best action flicks of recent years, 4 out of 5.

Agreed.
Liam Neeson was a good choice as it's not his typical type of role.

I love Taken, it's ace. I wish I was 2 inches taller and Irish!

Taken was brilliant not something I'd usually watch but I was pestered into it by a friend at work. Really good film and decent, tight script.

Drillbit Taylor

Surprisingly charming film starring Owen Wilson as a homeless ex-army ranger hired by some kids to protect them from the school bully. Co-written by Seth Rogen it has some great performances by the kids and a kick-ass ending. Best scenes are the rap-off and the kids punching each other to learn how to deal with pain.

7/10
