 | District 9 (Film)Prawn's its a cracker - PlantSome Illegal Aliens get washed up on shore...except this time it isn't a raft on the coast of Cuba but a UFO over Johannsburg. The Aliens get resuced from the craft and interned in a holding camp for refugees. The story is told in the beginning as a documentary and the lead role is by a previously completely unknown. He is excellent as is the film. The more ... |
 | 500 Days Of Summer (Film)Guy meets girl meets girl - PlantThis I would have to see again to fully appreciate it. It uses some alternative film sequences split screen ..retelling again and flicking back and forth between now and then. Its entertaining but one where you have to keep your wits about you and pay attention...I've seen similar on stage and it was done better on stage when you would expect it should be more ... |
 | Surrogates (Film)Great - PlantYou can depend on Bruce Willis in a movie...always good. This movie is about where Surrogate robots are created to aid mankind and assist those who can not do for themselves...after the army becomes involved they become mass produced...and soon everyone has one and it is easier to live life at arms lenght by send out younger and alternative versions of more ... |
 | The Proposal (Film)Slick Flick - PlantThis is good Sandra is funny first as the Mrs Nasty Boss from Hell then as the clumsy fool...thankfully she doesn't do her stoopid falling routines in this one. Its funny and the scenes wiht the Baby Maker are funny. This is a chick flick that a dude can enjoy ..so its a slick flick. Sandra gets fully naked but some slick editing mean there is no view not more ... |
 | Moon (Film)The Man on the Moon - PlantFor a Movie that consists of one character and himself and a smiley face computer voiced by Kevin Spacey...this is an ok movie...reasonable...watchable ..but don't rush out to see it..a TV moment rather than a DVD moment...yeah its about Moon Mining and Clones and not much else...the minature model people who brought you Space 1999 back in the day have more ... |
 | My Sister's Keeper (Film)Brill Ian't - PlantThis is a great movie ...a weepie of the wettest order. Go see it. Great. Might be the best movie of the year. Am'nt going to say much but this girl has cancer and her little sister has been grown to harvest bits to keep her alive. Camerion Diaz is the crazed lune mother and her little sister decides to take a court case to take control of her body and its more ... |
 | The Taking of Pelham 123 (Film)A Bridge too Far - PlantThis I thought couldn't be a good movie ...some bad guys take a train hostage in a tunnel with cops armed at both ends...how could that be any good...what were they thinking....but it turns out to be a very good moive...John Travolta is as ever great as the bad guy...hints of SwordFish..but only hints. He is nasty but a good likable nasty. It has funny and more ... |
 | G-Force (Film)A Mole in One - PlantThis is a very good kids movie ...humour and action...a decent story line...yeah not difficult to watch ...thought I was buying a ticket for G-I ...: ) but this is a better movie than G-I. some Hamsters take on the villians and the agency and end up in a cage in a pet store and escape that and head back out to finish the job...pretty good stuff..some good more ... |
 | A Perfect Getaway (Film)pity - PlantThis is a very good movie...much better than you would think for a film witha few characters but good it is...I've seen it twice...but the big pity is that in the attempt to mislead the audience there are two Really stupid lines delivered by two of the characters that completely fall outside the logic of the movie and are so inconsistant so as to be more ... |
| Inglourious Basterds (Film)not a masterpiece - Plantthe film while good is no masterpiece...I mostly found Brad Pitt's accent annoying ...he can be much better than this ...so what was he trying to do here? The Jew Hunter was a bizzare odd and entertaining character a real weasle. The film was interestingly different and characters just kept dying when you didn't expect them to. It is neither as good as Pulp more ... |
 | Terminator: Salvation (Film)It WILL be back. - Plantmmm the ending as one of my buddies put it "was a bit Gay" the two boyz staring accross at each other...see it and understand. This wasn't a bad film...Terminator isn't Terminator without the Govenor himself : ( The film is about a guy who is a murderer who was put to death in the past but wakes up alive ....mmm interesting. but this moview is more ... |
 | The Hangover (Film)Hung out to dry - PlantWhat a terrible movie...I heard so many people say its brilliant a must see. I thought the acting was particularly weak and the funny moments were at best only mildly amusing...pre pubesant humour at best! Film is about a guy who is about to get married and goes off for a stag weekend with his 2 best mates and his future brother-in-law. An unbelievable more ... |
 | Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian (Film)Muck - PlantWhat a lot of muck! the first outting was brilliant ...entertaining ...funny ...different..this isn't. It overcrowded with characters who are dull...the monkey has lost all his humour...face slapping just doesn't count...Emily whatever her name is ...is as wooden a character as you will find in a movie. I can't really think of anything good to say about more ... |
 | Angels And Demons (Film)conspiracy - PlantWhen I read a review of this movie stating it was bad and that Tom Hanks hadn't been in anything good recently (?) I was going to give this a miss...but am glad I didn't. For starters when was Tom Hanks ever in a movie that wasn't good? anyway it is a Black plot to stop you seeing this...don't pay any attention to these nay-sayrs...this one is better than more ... |
 | Star Trek (Film)Fascinating - PlantWhen I first saw the TV series Star Trek I wondered how this crew and Spock go together...as many must have done...well wonder no more. This movie answers that question with an interesting back story quickly pacing itself up into this fast past movie that will enthral fans and new comers alike. This is to Star Trek what Casino Royal was to the Jame's Bond more ... |
 | X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Film)Cool - PlantThis is more X-Men than the previous 3 outings...If you've read the comic books there was often a confusion over who was villain who was friend vs who was foe who was ally vs who was adversary. This outing is more in line with that than any of the other 3 where there were reasonably obvious divisions...here there isn't and characters swap sides and then more ... |
 | Watchmen (Video)Blue Dick - PlantThis doesn't know if it wants to be a Flash Gordon camp B movie or a Sin City class movie. When it is Sin City it is good hardcore and enjoyable when its camp then it just is so so. The falling between two categories drags this film on into being too long and neither good or bad which is a pity. The story is about where there had been masked crooks and to more ... |
 | Monsters Vs. Aliens 3D (Film)Wrecked - PlantI was sooo wrecked when I went to see this movie...but it was good...there were references to a lot of other films, 50 ft woman, Independence Day Mar's Attacks and I'm sure countless others I missed. The Blue Blob was very funny falling for a green plate of jelly and because he doesn't have a brain coming out with crazy daft things he is the best character more ... |
 | Knowing (Film)If I had only known : ( - PlantWhat a load of **** this is an exercise in futility if ever there was one...pointless meaningless a depressing waste of time. The jist of the story is strange characters sneak into kids bedrooms and whisper secrets to them that are buried for 50 years before being exposed...hello what is that all about : o so anyway they whisper secrets to children that more ... |
 | Duplicity (Film)Stop admiring yourself - PlantJz this is a movie in love with its self...it keeps on doing that clicking music and multiple shots trying to emulate the Thomas Crown Affair (Original was very bad, remake was excellent) ...but this...someone get over yourselves you aren't going to be good just by trying to equate yourselves with the Crown Affair. This is the jester sneaking in and trying more ... |
 | 17 Again (Film)Fun - e - PlantI hadn't expected much from this at all and wasn't going to go see it...but am very glad I did. in fact I would happily watch it again! I missed the first few minutes the transformation but was quickly up to speed. Zac Efron and the movie reminded me very much of Marty and Back to the Future minus the car (and of course couldn't be as good as) but was good more ... |
 | Slumdog Millionaire (Film)Go C !!! - PlantSorry been of-line : o this is the best movie of the year! its sad, depressing, entertaining, uplifting, happy, desperate, lost and full of hope! Its a really clever idea to take a popular TV showand make a Film about the TV show. This is Who Wants to Be a Millionaire...a show half the know world must have been addicted to at some stage, even Obama in a more ... |
 | Seven Pounds (Film)7 oz - PlantI think the award for best supporting actor should go to the Jellyfish! no only joking only Wilson in Castaway deserved that. This is truly a slow motion film if ever there was one. Its the story of a very angry man who as we see from the flash backs has caused the death of 7 people in a car crash (his fault) one of whom is his beloved. This then gives us more ... |
 | The Wrestler (Film)uuuuuuuuugh - PlantIf you have been to see a movie recently and thought that it was crap and your about to walk in and see this movie then I urge you to reconsider turn around and go give that other one one more chance. This movie is like a car crash soap or one of those really really bad reality TV shows...if you have some antidepressants left over and feel better then this more ... |
 | Role Models (Film)kiss - PlantThis is the Superbad of this year not as super good but good, it has its laugh out loud moments and is better than I was expecting. The story is about two 'friends' who work together for years going from school to school to promote an energy drink. When the more sensible of the two Danny awkwardly proposes to his girlfriend which goes completely wrong more ... |
 | Bedtime Stories (Film)bon bon not! - PlantThis is one of those fantasy films, Sandler is a bit of a prat who is down on his luck in his job not getting promoted passed over, and he is a bit obnoxious at first to his sisters friend. He gets roped into doing the evening shift of minding his sisters two kids while her friend takes the day shift (as she is also doing an evening course) ...any Sandler more ... |
 | Yes Man (Film)Open up - PlantYes Man, this is a character not unlike Ricky in Ghost Town, closed off to the world, not liking people, company and social activities. He automatically says NO to everything; his life is going no where and consists of slouching on the sofa watching DVD's. Then a Friend of his resurfaces and is hyper happy and convinces him to attend a YES seminar. more ... |
 | Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (Film)Scar - PlantMadagascar begins with a bunch of poachers hunting near a reserve, as the 'Lion King' teaches his cub the playful cub is tempted out of the reserve and captured. The King chases after them but fails to rescue the cub. Then quickly we are advanced to the starting location of the last film with the 4 buddies in the NY Zoo where dancing and entertainment is more ... |
 | Lakeview Terrace (Film)issues - PlantIt says a lot about the quality of Samuel L. Jackson's acting that from the start you dislike his character with all his issues, his passive aggressive character trait and his smiling contempt. yes this is one neighbour you do not want to have, who goes from being all smiley friendly and helpful to being openly hostile threatening and dangerous. He more ... |
 | Flawless (Film)Twinkle twinkle - PlantA bank robbery caper, here Demi Moore is back on screen again along side a looking very old Michael Caine. Demi is a woman in a man's world doing well for herself but not as good as she should as she presses tightly against the glass ceiling. She has an on-going correspondence about this which she tears and throws in the bin. Michael Caine is the old more ... |
 | Body of Lies (Film)Less talk more action - PlantHere we have a fat Crowe doing a lot of talking on the phone as he guides his young puppet agent in the field as he sits comfortably at home enjoying the drudgery of domestic bliss. His Crowe's views are that of course he know how best to run a field operation from the safety of miles away and of course ignores DiCaprio's field experience and methods. The more ... |
 | Max Payne (Film)Max Pain - PlantMax Pain! Oh this is terrible it is no Constantine! This is a film about an alternative reality that a few can see or is it, is it instead just a drug fuelled series of delusions? Are these demons living side by side taking souls like they did in Ghost or are they ravings of the victims. Max's wife was brutally killed and he is out for revenge. He meets the more ... |
 | Pride and Glory (Film)Shady cops - PlantThis is the usual Copy family dark broody thriller. The father of the clan played by Voight is a semi alcoholic who prides himself on his perfect family, perhaps knowing this not to be true in reality and hence the sipping on the bottle! His two sons are cops and seem to have been involved in dodgy dealings in the past which they avoided despite the death more ... |
 | Quantum of Solace (Film)More 07 than 007 - PlantQuantum of Solace could never live up to the level of Casino Royal never. This venture starts of with a ridiculous car chase where the rejects from the A-Team spray bullets at a car just in front of them and manage not to hit Bond, not to kill the guy in the boot and not even to disable the car. Later on in the movie we are treated to the same? Clowns more ... |
 | Ghost Town (Film)The Ghost of Ghost - PlantChost Town stars Ricky Gervais, it is a story kinda like a flip side of GHOST, where Ricky's character a person loathing Dentist who will do anything he can to avoid human interaction of any kind even stuffing clients nought with cotton wool to muffle the whining endless pratter of patients, sneaking out of the office to avoid socialising with his workmates more ... |
 | Igor (Film)under a dark cloud - PlantIgor, basically is about this mystical land of Malaria where the credit crunch has bitten on a global scale and the economy of this land survives under a veil of dark brooding clouds by inventing terrifying destructive world destroying WMD. They then derive their income from blackmailing the rest of the world in return for payment they do not release these more ... |
 | Pineapple Express (Film)Improvised - PlantThe ads make this look funny...funny it is not! This is a druggie film that looks like it was made by actors improvising while high, only the occasional bit of gore or stunt gives any clue that it was designed. Plenty of pseudo gay behaviour from our hapless bunch of misfit friends! its a film that doesn't know if it wants to be a comedy or an action film more ... |
 | Burn After Reading (Film)Clusterfuck - PlantAfter seeing that pile of crap "No Country for old Men" ...it was tempting not to go see another Cohen movie ever again...having said that...the ads did make this look funny. And to an extent it was...Pitt is the bumbling fool who gets possession of a disk with sensitive secret shit on it. Shades of his acting in 12 monkeys here. This is a kind of more ... |
 | Eagle Eye (Film)Hal - oh - PlantI thought I had this movie figured before I'd even see it and maybe my idea would have been better....This reminded me of Tron, no Space Oddessy or was it Terminator or even I-Robot...all of them really and probably more. The jist of it is a big complex computer controlling way too much from mobile phone chips to satellites. Its all very BIG brother and a more ... |
 | Death Race (Film)Go Frankenstein Go... - PlantDeath Race 2000, takes nothing from the original just the title and a quick word of advice…try go see it before or preferably without seeing any of the ads…..yes they show way too much in them……why do they do this?? I was going to give it a miss because I felt I'd already sent he movie..there is so much in the ads! But I'm glad I more ... |
 | Taken (Film)Take a look - PlantTaken, mmm I liked this one, couldn't be sure if I should recommend it …but others I've spoken to also liked it! Liam Neeson is a mysterious psycho type agent who now happens to be retired from some shady mysterious government agency. He is separated now from his mean nasty wife but is in awe of his daughter which whom he wasn't to make up for lost more ... |
 | Righteous Kill (Film)not as bad as its press - PlantRighteous Kill…saw a review that said it was predictable / obvious then thought who it obviously seemed to be was maybe too obvious and that got me second guessing myself, was it him or him or maybe even her? That then kept it interesting. It could obviously never be Heat, that was a modern classic one of the best two opening scenes were one in Heat more ... |
 | Tropic Thunder (Film)Playe.....R - PlantTropic thunder begins with some fake trailers that advertise some fake movies to set the tone for the rest of the movie and before the movie actually starts the audience have started a wave of laughter. The film is about some survivors of a rescue attempt, 3 of whom write books about their experience, 2 get published and one gets made into a movie this more ... |
 | Disaster Movie (Film)Asinine - PlantDisaster movie…….it is what it says! To say that this is something that looks as if it was written produced and directed by pre-teens is an insult to pre-teens! It starts with a 10,001 BC scene of a caveman running from a Mammoth who then falls in crap and soon after encounters a gladiator (game TV style) after a stupid fight scene Amy more ... |
 | Step Brothers (Film)BetaMax Crap - PlantThis is a film where two what 50 year olds and looking it, play 40 year olds acting 14 years old ….what the f'. This isn't a film where you just suspend your disbelief, here you make a noose find a high beam and string your belief up high holding on tight until it stops kicking! What a terrible movie. What credit crunch…..when there are more ... |
 | Babylon A.D. (Film)Dismal - PlantSingle X, Pitch Grey, The Slow and the Curious…how can I emphasise that this is not a good movie…..Tripe in a celluloid can! Van Diesel stars, movie starts out in war torn Kazakhstan or there about…our friend is a for hire mercenary eating dead fried cat…so business must be slow…half his house is blown away and he is led more ... |
 | You Don't Mess With The Zohan (Film)FizzyBubblea - PlantDon't mess with Zohan…this is a very funny politically incorrect comedy. Yes at times it takes daft and pushes it and then pushes it too far. It is Blazing Saddles meets Scarey Movie type of humour. The one thing that will stick in your head is “FizzyBubblea” : ) the story is of an almost superhuman Israeli Special forces Hero who can more ... |
 | Get Smart (Film)One to see again! - PlantGet Smart…Get Funny! This film is a laugh from start to end. I hadn't expected much but was surprised at how good it was. Steve Carrell plays agent Maxwell Smart extremely well…not too stupid and not too smarmy, there is no Aeroplane he doesn't go for a Leslie Nielsen type of character. Agent Smart is clever in his own right…failing to more ... |
 | Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Film)Hell NO - PlantHell No….The film starts with Hell Boy the Kid……must be one of the goofiest kids to ever appear on the silver screen. The films starts one Christmas years and years ago…where Hell Kid is read a bed time story of the Golden Army while we are 'treated' to a low budget animation of the same story. Later on and we are up to date and more ... |
 | Mamma Mia! (Film)I'm begging of you please don't go... - PlantIf you like Abba and who doesn't ? : ) and you haven't seen the Musical...speaking as someone who hates musicals ..please go see the Stage Musical...as from what I've seen from Ads and reviews of this movie ...if you see it you might decide never to go see the Stage Musical which would be a great pity...so go to the next live performance of Mama Mia...and more ... |
 | The Dark Knight (Film)not a joke in sight! - PlantBatman ironically has a problem when clone batman's turn up as vigilantes! This film I'm sorry to have to say didn't Zap, Pap or WoW me….the acting is particularly good from the Heath Ledger as the manic Joker and of course no film with Morgan Freeman is ever bad…so ok it was an ok movie! But I thought the plots yes plots were over cooked, more ... |
 | WALL-E (Film)Where's Wall-E - PlantWhen I first saw ads for this I though that Wall-E was going to work up to be Johnny-5's slightly dumber mutant half brother. But despite the similarity this wasn't so Wall-E was his own creation. This is a very clever story with brilliant animation, however it seriously lacks the humour that was enjoyable in the likes of Toy Story and Monsters Inc, not more ... |
 | Journey to the Centre of the Earth 3-D (Film)2D - PlantA film based on Jules Verne's book literally as the characters for a lot of the film carry a copy around with them as reference material. This is a “3 D” experience and is preceded by a clip of a 3D cartoon that illustrates that the future of 3D is in cartoons! And makes you wonder why 3D is wasted on this film…they throw in the tape more ... |
 | Hancock (Film)Eagles wings clipped - PlantVery disappointed, very. Its taken me a few days to motivate myself to review this. I was expecting so much more. Hancock is like two poor half films put together. It looks and starts out well, a superhero who is hitting the bottle hard and in a half drunken stupor sets about helping fight crime, only to do more damage than good. A simple car chase ends up more ... |
 | The Escapist (Film)Missable! - PlantEscape! Ctrl Alt Delete!! This film is about a group of convicts that are in for various terms. One the oldest in for life…the setting and atmosphere is bleak bleak bleak! Depressing viewing. This old character eventually gets a letter the first in 14 years to tell him his daughter is a junkie and almost died twice. This is his motivation for more ... |
 | Wanted (Film)Nooooooooooo - PlantNoooooooo, you will no what I mean when you have seen this brilliant movie : )! Initially I went into Wanted very dubious having seen the scene where the character jumps through the window… I thought they have made another 'Matrix 3' ie messed the film up with over the top stupid effects at the expense of plot. But apart from that scene (which is more ... |
 | The Happening (Film)Triffids? - PlantAlmost before anything happened one guy got up and left whether it was that he was in the wrong cinema or couldn't bear to watch what was about to happen we will never know. This begins as a very disturbing film, showing scenes that even 911 coverage edited out. That shock factor remains for the rest of the film, but as the film continues the settings more ... |
 | The Incredible Hulk (Film)Stark Ind - PlantI was expecting to have to review this as The Incredulous Hulk, after the last pathetic deplorable outing of the poorest quality 2d CGI ever. But this version of the Hulk is very good for the most part. It begins and ends with references to Stark Industries …for those in the know ; ) The first few minutes it very quickly hints at the background of more ... |
 | Gone Baby Gone (Film)No Happy Ever After - PlantThis is a dark depressing gloomy ominous film, it feels like it should have been raining and overcast throughout the movie. However you know the movie is going to be good when you see Morgan Freeman is in the cast but for me the star of the film was Amy Madigan who delivers an excellent performance, where as Casey Affleck as Patrick seems to speak as if he more ... |
 | Superhero Movie (Film)mild humour - PlantSuperhero movie is from the Scary Movie people…so you know what to expect. The film is basically Spiderman 1 re-written as a spoof. Its funny but it mirrors Spiderman a little too much….whereas the Scary movies were topical and had a go at current issues and a host of current movies other than the main one Scream. Superhero movie keeps its more ... |
 | Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (Film)Party Scene - PlantPolitically Incorrectness is a refreshing thing to see. The movie is very enjoyable early on, the Africian girl to the side of me was in stitches laughing as were a bunch of people scattered around the cinema. The film is about two roomies who are heading off to Amsterdam to sample its cafés. When one of them can't wait and brings a bong gadget more ... |
 | Iron Man (Film)Ironmen - PlantIronman always had a cool outfit and in this movie it really is cool it's a toys-for-boys gadget if ever there was one. Developed by eccentric billionaire weapons developer Tony Stark based on a prototype built out of necessity in a cave in Afghanistan. The film begins with the launch of a new range of missile – The Jerrico a weapon of biblical more ... |
 | What Happens in Vegas.. (Film)hahahaha - PlantWith a lot of comedies when you've seen the trailer you've seen the film. With What happens in Vegas this is anything but true. The film starts with a manic pace and continues throughout. It's a riot from start to finish. I can't imagine a funnier film hitting the cinemas this year! Not since “When Harry meet Sally” have I been in the cinema more ... |
 | Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Film)zzzzzzzzzzzzz - PlantIndy Indy Indy why return with such a poor outing? Harrison Ford's earlier profession shines through as the carpenter as he is surrounded by a lot of wooden actors and not just the ones in the army base. The film begins with a gofer…why is beyond me…then they pop up twice later, then there is the car race sequence this is probably a nod to THX more ... |
 | Doomsday (Film)Z'd - PlantThis film is a bit slow - fast - super fast - slow fast...pace is a bit variable. It starts kind of not Mad Max just slightly crazy Max, then after a while reeves up into Totally Insane Max. Its basically a version of 'I am Legend' a virus runs rampant in Scotland, and mysteriously a wall is quickly in place! However in this case the crowd are no where near more ... |
 | The Eye (Film)Sickt Sense - PlantThe Eye, the opening scene is a macabre one that sets the tone, spooky dark and foreboding. It's a film orchestrated with large knife stabbing music regularly punctuated throughout the movie, never allowing us to relax in our seats and trust any door opening scene and to always suspect something to pop out at us any minute and then allows us just enough more ... |
 | Deception (Film)drip drip drip - PlantThe start of this movie feels like the viewer has been deceived and tricked into first concern is that this is going to be a Broke Back Mountain in the City to a remake of Eyes Wide Shut, set in an office…its slow and boring even for a film about an auditor. It's a slow burning sexscapade for ¾ of an hour. When it eventually does ignite it more ... |
 | Pathology (Film)No more Heroes - PlantThis film just doesn't make the cut, our main character a well heeled Dr with everything starts a new job at the coroners and is thrown in with an ill got bunch of coven of psychopaths that anyone would leave a job or cross the street to avoid. But not our Dr he instead socialises with them and before long is under their spell playing their psychotic more ... |
 | 21 (Film)New Shoe - PlantWhen you've seen the documentary on Discovery “Blood Diamond” good and all as it is doesn't match up with the gruesome reality…when you have also seen the documentary on the real life card counters 21 also doesn't compare and it isn't as good a production or story as Blood Diamond was! Casino Royale began with a great card based start and more ... |
 | Street Kings (Film)Cops On Steroids - PlantTake exactly one half of Bad Boys the can and will do approach and one hot car, add in some slices of Die Hard action combine the not letting go attitude of 13th Precinct and wrap it up in the shroud of mystery of LA Confidential boyo and you have yourself something that resembles “Street Kings”. Everyone has attitude and is pumped up with more ... |
 | Funny Games U.S. (Film)psychaos - PlantFrom the very start the characters in the movie grate on your nerves and as it progresses Tom the husband, is lame and looses you sympathy respect by being an unintelligent wimp. The movie hints at its irritating self early on with the clash of music. The weasel brothers are psychotic but the movie is pathetic! When someone says “Drive Wilbur more ... |
 | Awake (Film)Squeamish - PlantI wasn't going to see this film, but am glad I did, the suspense kept me going through out. True Clay is as dumb as they come, but the movie surprised me! Its different a bit away from the usual and that made it interesting. If you are the type of person who is squeamish then go prepared to watch through your fingers a few times, but its nothing you can't more ... |
 | Never Back Down (Film)Happy-slapping - PlantFight Club this is not It hasn't got the quality script nor does it have the outstanding cast of Fight Club, this is more Sprite Club light & Happy Slapping meets cartoon violence where the victim takes a pounding like Bart Simpson in the playground to suffer only mild bruising and a happy rise in popularity in an environment full of spoilt brats. The more ... |
 | Lars and the Real Girl (Film)Deflated - PlantFrom the start if this wasn't to be just way too weird it had to have a really really great pay back…but it didn't. If you remember back to a film called Splash it worked it had humour and what it had going for it was that some knew the truth of the situation some suspected and some found out and it was how all this evolved and resolved with lots of more ... |
 | larsandtherealgirlmovie.jpg (Film)DVD - PlantI went in expecting 300 laughs but like the Spartans couldn't raise more than a handful of men they also could barely raise more than a few laughs. When it was funny it was very funny but mostly it wasn't. In the trailer the 'you've been served' sketch is funny…but in the movie it is drawn out for so long that the viewer gets fed up waiting on the more ... |
 | Drillbit Taylor (Film)That can't be right...can it? - PlantJust two stars and bad reviews...that can't be right can it, the critics must have gotten it wrong? This film looks like it has great subject matter and having experienced the brilliant humour of 'Knocked up' 'Superbad' and best of them all 'Good Luck Chuck'..I'd expected greatness..but alas it wasn't to be. The critics had it right, something I hadn't more ... |
 | The Spiderwick Chronicles (Film)the federation - PlantEngaging right from the start with catchy dialogue, if you are still in touch with your inner child then you will enjoy this movie. If you enjoyed Jamangi, Enchanted, Stardust and Bridge to Tabitha then this is a film for you! It isn't as sad as Bridge, as outright enjoyable as Stardust or as charming as Enchanted and couldn't be as magical as Jamangi... more ... |
 | U2 3D (Film)The Good the Bad and the Smugly - PlantIf you want to see 3D done very well go to Uncle Walt's Disney world...this film could do without the UN aspirational and delusional rants of how all men are created equal and should all be treated the same. It also could have done with more of the U2 Classics we all love and not the album fillers that were thrown in! Having said that it is well worth a more ... |
 | The Orphanage (Film)Rent a DVD - PlantIf you want to see a good ghost story rent out The Others or better again The 6th Sense...but this is a very dull poor effort! Not worth the effort, after the spectacular Pan's Labyrinth I was hoping for greatness but not a ghost of a chance of that! more ... |
 | There Will Be Blood (Film)Bloody Awful - PlantCritics need to stop internally examining their own intestines this is a terrible movie...the main characters motivation is not believable and oh just terrible.
