| Last of the Dogmen |
|
Bad script, bad acting - in short one of the most pathetic movies ever made.. Very Missable |
| Get Low |
 ½ |
Well-told story. Duvall and Murray are very good. Recommended. |
| Zodiac |
½ |
Holy bing bang. California murderer. Recommended. |
| X-Men, First Class |
|
Mutant and Proud! - Such crap! Missable |
| Win Win |
|
Silly US sport movie with a happy end, ah. |
| The Tree of Life |
|
Somewhat silly, doesn't really work. Missable |
| Unknown |
½ |
Terrific thriller, great performances from Liam Neeson, Bruno Ganz and also Diane Kruger. Recommended. |
| Urgency |
|
Slightly interesting plot, poorly made. |
| Made in Dagenham |

Just as I was leaving with the fruit he says "I believe all the workers of the world should unite". So I thought to myself "Well I can help you with that straight away mate". So I did. Recommended. |
| Ironclad |
|
Much blood and screaming. |
| Captain America - The First Avenger |
|
Silly. Love the lady agent though - Haily Atwell - especially that WWII era hairstyle. |
| Cyrus |
|
Not my cup of tea at all |
| Children of Men |
|
Excellent movie, even more dramatic the second time around. Highly Recommended. |
| Horrible Bosses |
|
Tell me they did it for the money! Missable |
| Equilibrium |
|
Well, um - no. Missable |
| The Godfather III |
|
Dangerous stuff opera. |
| The Godfather II |
|
Been a while - powerful |
| The Godfather I |
|
I remember seeing this when it first came out. The Mafia sure doesn't horse around. |
| The Source Code |
|
Interesting, but doesn't really suspend belief. |
| My Super Ex-Girlfriend |
|
Well, um - no. Missable |
| Easy A |
|
The delightful
Emma Stone (III) with some great dialog and a happy family of Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson. Features even the original villan. (Clockwork Orange, he seems to have had quite a life since then judging by the wear and tear on his features.) |
| Love and other Drugs |
|
Rather weak, though Anne Hatherway does her share. |
| Love Happens |
|
Aaron Eckhart was great in Erin Brockovich. This is a silly romcom - who said that? Oxymorphic or what? But does the Needle have a Wheedle? |
| Mad Max III |
|
Great! "Methane comes from pigshit". "Two men enter - one man leaves". Saw this when it first came out - what fun! Tina is wonderful. Mel (shit though he is) played has got the part down to a tee. |
| Mad Max II |
|
The Australian desert - reminds me a little of "Welcome to Woof Woof". |
| Mad Max I |
|
Weak |
| Burlesque |
|
Oh dear, such drivel. But it does feature the lovely Stanley Tucci. (see Julie & Julia below). |
| Bridesmaids |
|
One of the silliest film scripts I have subjected myself too. Missable |
| 300 |
|
Interesting interpretation. Excellent graphics/scenery, a mystic quality, very appropriate. |
| You will meet a Tall Dark Stranger |
|
Not Woody's best, but an interesting idea. The last of his London films. |
| The Notebook |
|
Wonderful film, difficult subject. Four great actors. Recommended. |
| Eric and Ernie |
|
Well done, took me back to those christmas shows, and the 50's - when TV was new and the cars! |
| Cowboys and Aliens |
|
Oh dear - they must have done this for the money. |
| Life as we Know It |
|
Such a silly romantic story. |
| Sexy Beast |
|
Rather a good ganster movie. Recommended. |
| Date Night |
|
Such a bad plot it almost becomes good. But in any case you HAVE to love Tina Fey. |
| Away from Her |
|
Very well done, not just the lovely Julie Christie (she has aged well, it has been a long time since "Far from the Madding Crowd") but also Gorden Pincent. Expected but surprising and disturbing and wonderful. Love the one you're with comes to mind. Recommended. |
| Monty Python and the Holy Grail |
|
How silly, it seems rather as I imagine a public school in the evenings, silly upper-class twaddle. But what do I know?
Run away, quick, run away! |
| The Gift |
|
Cate Winslet in a moving performance, not that I believe much
of the story for a second.
Recommended. |
| Love in the Time of Cholera |
|
Very romantic, well done period film with several beautiful people. Recommended. |
| The Constant Gardener |
|
Sad, intricate film.
Maybe its just Africa? Recommended. |

|
Good, complex film with a surprising ending.
Recommended. |
| Strictly Sexual |
|
Well, an interesting premise.... but not much more. |
| The Social Network |
|
Interesting, I wonder how much of it is real? |
| A Good Woman |
|
Well done, period film, enjoyable story of a woman who knows what she wants.
Recommended. |
| The Kite Runner |
|
Didn't think I would like this, but I did, well done.
Recommended. |
| The Black Swan |
|
OK, but not really credible. |
| Girl with a Pearl Earing |
|
OK, but not as good as the book - why am I surprised? |
| Midnight in Paris |
½ |
How could one not like this movie? Owen Wilson is Woody, and of course the delicious Marion Cotillard. Highly Recommended. |
| The Bourne Ultimatum |
|
A well thought-out conclusion.
Recommended. |
| The Bourne Supremacy |
|
Simply entertaining.
