Recent Reviews By SARAH
 | Downton Abbey - Series 1 (Video)classic! - SarahBeautifully written by Julian Fellows this period drama begins with the tragic sinking of the Titanic. The unfortunate news that the heir to Downton was aboard throws the Grantham house into turmoil. The action does not entirely focus on the wealthy and well-to-do Crawley's, the happenings downstairs are just as fascinating and enthralling. There are more ... |
 | Marvel Avengers Assemble (Film)it has everything - SarahRarely can I say that I have sat down and watched a film that ticks all the boxes, but the Avengers did that for me. A well written, well plotted, well acted and brilliantly executed film, with a great cast, fantastic action sequences and just the right amount of comedy, the Avengers is the best superhero film I have seen. Not that Im calling my self an more ... |
 | The Incredibles (Film)Brilliant!!! - SarahNot exactly what I was expecting but a really enjoyable film. Dont know why it took me so long to watch this, perhaps I thought I wouldnt like it, but I have to say it was brilliant! Some very LOL moments and really great characters like Edna, who couldnt love her! is there a 2nd one??? more ... |
 | Sherlock Holmes (Film)fun - SarahI didnt realise Guy Richie had directed this film until the end credits and then I thought "ah it all makes sense now". As a fan of the BBC Sherlock Holmes series, I was reluctant to watch this film, for the simple reason I thought it would be just another poor attempt at a "clever" action movie. However, I found Jude Law was a good casting choice for Dr more ... |
 | The Expendables (Film)there are no words - SarahI cannot begin to describe how brainless and cheesy this film is! Its just ridiculous! first of all, the only good thing about this film for me was Statham. Now that I have that out of the way, let me say that 1. Stallone is a rubbish actor, I never liked him. some people do but I dont. 2. the story is just pathetic. so stereotypical , who in their right more ... |
 | The Next Three Days (Film)should have been called..... - Sarahthe next 3 years. I found the film dragged, the plot was a bit silly to be honest. It was very unrealistic that a teacher would try and break his wife out of prison in the first place but I just found the whole thing a bit stupid. Acting was average, some irrelevant characters seemed to be thrown in for the sake of it and I just thought the whole thing was more ... |
 | Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (Film)enjoyable - SarahWe all love the MI films for what they are, good old fashioned action movies with good guys, bad guys, guns, explosions and a good car chase. MI : Ghost Protocol sticks nicely to the formula and doesnt disappoint. Not only does Tom Cruise kick some serious arse, the stunts are really cool, and I still cannot believe that he did them all him self. Simon more ... |
 | Sunshine (Film)ridiculous - SarahI love my sci fi, but oh please. This film is just a bit too far fetched for me. not only does anyone who has ever seen a Prof. Brian Cox documentary on the BBC know, the sun is good for another million years or so, so we are pretty safe. also, these people that they sent on this "save the earth" mission all seem to have some sort of personality disorders. more ... |
 | The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011) (Film)Excellent - SarahThe most recent film adaptation of the first in the famous Millemium trilogy, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a good thriller with a captivating plot. Set in Sweden, a disgraced journalist is hired by an old company head to investigate the disappearance or rather the murder of his niece. The journalist (played by an older looking Daniel Craig) starts more ... |
 | Tower Heist (Film)better than expected - SarahOnly really went to see Tower Heist just because the time in the cinema suited us, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by it. I really enjoyed it, a good laugh, with Ben Stiller acting a bit normal for a change instead of the usual slapstick comedy. what a relief! Normally you can tell exactly how these kind of films will go, however, with Tower more ... |
 | Contagion (Film)good, but not great - SarahAs a person with a science background I thought this was a good movie, but I did wonder if non-sciencey people might have found large parts of the film a bit boring. The virus was the story, and therefore the characters were not really explored in the depth they should have been, but thats a bit irrelevant as this is a film about a virus. I was impressed more ... |
 | Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Film)not impressed - SarahThis film was geared up to be the spy thriller of the year, and it was a major let down for me. Not only is it slow and deliberate and drawn out (unnecessarily), none of the fantastic cast (all of whom we know can act, most have oscar nominations to prove it) were given half enough time onscreen. With the exception of Gary Oldman, we only get snippets of more ... |
 | Jane Eyre (2011) (Film)Beautiful - SarahA beautiful take on book that has been turned into films and TV series before, but different enough to let it stand alone. My Mam described it a bleak, but thats what it was like back then! This version of Jane Eyre was a lot darker, more Gothic (thats the word being bandied around) than previous versions. The thing that I think really worked was how more ... |
 | Rise of the Planet of the Apes (Film)not what I expected, in a good way! - SarahFirst off, I havent seen any of the original Planet of the Apes films, or the one from a few years ago with Mark Wallberg, so wasnt entirely sure what to expect. I was very impressed with the Special effects. The apes were fantastic. I am not sure if they used real apes in any part of this film but I was seriously blown away by Ceasar and his buddies. more ... |
 | Ironclad (Video)Good, but a little disappointed - SarahI was very much looking forward to seeing Ironclad, I was annoyed I missed it in the cinema. Having waited for the DVD, I was expecting a story with a bit more substance and dare I say romance. serves me right for going by the trailer. the action was good, kinda similar to Centurion, very blood and guts etc. the hacking off of limbs got a bit tiresome more ... |
 | Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Film)Better than I expected - SarahHaving been very disappointed with the 2nd installment of this overhyped franchise, I was very reluctant to fork over my hard earned money to see Transformers in 3D. But being a cinema addict, and coming to the assumption that a film with this many special FX should probably be seen on the big screen, I caved. I forked over my money, put on my 3D glasses more ... |
 | Bridesmaids (Film)A good laugh - Sarahnot exactly living up to the hype, I think Bridemaids has been rightly compared with the hangover, but in a good way. Like with the Hangover, there are a few great laugh out loud moments, and quiet a few gross ones too. Im sure anyone who has seen it already knows the part Im talking about. a good comedic performance from Kristen Wiig, who I cant remember more ... |
 | The Guard (Film)Best film this year!!! - SarahA thoroughly enjoyable film, with a great cast, The Guard has to be one of the best Irish films of all time. With an unreal (unreal in good way!) performance from Brendan Gleeson, this film is up there with the Snapper and Intermission for comedy, but there is also the serious side to the story, which I think the director balances perfectly. Don Chedle more ... |
 | The Green Lantern (Film)enjoyable - SarahIf you wanted to, you could go through this film with a fine tooth comb, and pick it to pieces. However I chose to go see the Green Lantern without any expectations. I only wanted a good hero movie to cheer up my saturday night. Ryan Reynolds is great. he is funny and really can pull off that Green Lantern costume :) Sinestro is cool, and the Green more ... |
 | The Last King Of Scotland (Film)Excellent film - SarahI had heard of Idi Amin, about how he was responsible for the deaths of 300,000 of his own people, about how his political enemies were wiped out and anyone who was disloyal seemed to simpley disappear. However, what Kevin McDonald does in this film (and does very well) is show us the side of Amin that Dr. Nicholas Garrigan saw. Amin was humorous more ... |
 | Iron Man 2 (Film)very entertaining - SarahI know Im arriving late to the party, but I only got round to watching Iron Man 2 last week. having been disappointed with superhero sequels often enough I have to say I wasnt expecting much. However I was pleasently surprised with the second installment of Iron Man 2. Tony Stark is such a character, and I cant imagine anyone other than Robet Downey Jr. more ... |
 | Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (Film)soooo disappointed. - SarahWell that was a waste of a cinema ticket. I had heard someone say that this was 4th installment of Disney's Pirates of the Carribean was just as good as the first. how wrong were they. This movie was just as bad as the 3rd. In fairness, sometimes you just have to stop after the 1st film. dont mess with a good thing. or at least get writters who can write a more ... |
 | X-Men: First Class (Film)Better than I expected - SarahHaving seen the Wolverine prequel I have to admit I was a little aprehensive about X-Men First Class, however I was pleasently surprised. This was a fitting prequel to one of the worlds most famous super-hero franchises. X-Men First class was more faithful to the story threads seen in the first X-Men film, with Brian Singer's influence clearly evident. more ... |
 | Thor (Film)- SarahI have to say the best thing about this film for me were the one-liners. Thor had some great ones, and whether I was supposed to or not I found my self laughing. The special effects with regards to the image of Asgard were amazing, absolutely fantastic if not completely unbelievable. However the need for 3D was a bit lost on me. I would have happily more ... |
 | How To Train Your Dragon (Video)Brilliant!!!!!! - SarahDreamworks are always going to be compared to Disney Pixar, but How to Train Your Dragon to me is Dreamworks doing their own thing. A wonderful story with a bunch of loveable, if sometimes strange, characters, How to Train Your Dragon is a film about the oddball Hiccup trying to live up to his Viking father's expectations. No matter how hard Hiccup tries, more ... |
 | Limitless (Film)Enjoyable - SarahI went to see Limitless because the film I really wanted to see was gone, so wasnt really looking forward to it, and wasnt expecting much. But I have to say I found Limitless a really good film. I love the concept, and the plot was very good. With a good performance from Bradley Cooper, I can see this guy getting more leading roles in the future, and who more ... |
 | Anchorman (Film)Ron Burgandy is kind of a big deal! - SarahAnchorman is a great send up of the 1960/70's american tv news stereotype. The all male news room team at San Diego's channel 4 news (where the story of the year is a panda giving birth), is toppled into absolute chaos when a female journalist joins the crew. With Farrell and Applegate as the hilarious co-anchors, support from Rudd and Carel is spot on, more ... |
 | Tangled (Film)excellent - Sarahdisney do it again, they take a classic fairy tale and make it modern with out loosing any of the heart of the story. Rapunzel is such a well know fairy tale, yet this take on it feels new and fresh but at the same time, you still feel like you are in an old fashioned fairy tale! I know that's a contradiction, but that's how I feel about it! with only 3 more ... |
 | The Social Network (Film)Facebook me! - SarahAs a facebook addict it was fascinating to see how a big part of my social networking world came into being. I was hoping to see this before the oscars, but alas I didnt have time. David Fincher should have got the oscar for best director. The film jumps gracefully between the past, when Zuckerberg came up with the idea of "the facebook" and the present more ... |
 | True Grit (Film)Good, but I wasnt blown away - SarahIts good to see a good Western in the year 2011, as I was beginning to think westerns were a thing of the past. This story of young Mattie Ross seeking justice for the murder of her father is brought to the screen by the infamous Cohen Brothers. Im not their biggest fan (by a long shot) but they really did put together a great movie, with a fantastic more ... |
 | The 40 Year-Old Virgin (Film)Good laugh - SarahI never really had the urge to see the 40 Year Old Virgin, seeing as I could predict the kind of humour it was going to contain, but seeing as it was on telly and there was absolutely nothing else on, I ended up watching it with my housemate. I have to admit that, although its not a masterpiece, it is a good comedy and I did find myself laughing out loud. more ... |
 | Black Swan (Film)WOW!!! - SarahIntensely beautiful, this journey of ballerina Nina Sayers is both amazing and disturbing. Nina is a girl who has spent her whole life trying to be the prefect ballerina, wanting to be her idol, Beth. When Beth retires i.e. gets too old, Nina gets her chance to be the Swan Queen in a new version of Swan Lake. Molly-coddled by her over controlling mother, more ... |
 | Milk (Film)Unbelievable prefromance from Penn - SarahTo make a biopic of someone is probably extremely difficult, but to make one about a person who was so influential and inspiring and who lived in the recent past must be nearly impossible. Not only does the film have to portray the time authentically but also the people who lived in it. Harvey Milk was a one in a million, who inspired hope in gay people more ... |
 | Musketeer (Film)sooooo bad - Sarahthis movie is crap we actually laughed our way through it. the acting is poor, even Rae and Roth are not great, and Chambers, well lets just say he shouldnt attempt a posh accent. he reminds me of Hayden christiansan, which isnt a good thing. the stunt scenes are soooo unbelievable its gas! like in one chase scene D'Artangnan jumps 3 horses and then onto more ... |
| Downton Abbey - Series 1 (Video)Brilliant!!! - SarahWhere to begin! Well the BBC usually have the monopoly on period dramas and they do it well, but ITV are really giving them run for their money with this superb drama. From the off, Downton Abbey was compared to Upstairs Downstairs (which was brought back by the beeb this year too), but the series has really made a name for its self and can definitely more ... |
 | Megamind (Film)LOL - SarahThis is real laugh out loud stuff, one of the best animated films since Up! and Toy Story, Megamind is destined to be a Dreamworks classic!!! Megamind so desperately wants to be bad, and when he goes one step too far and destroy's his arch nemesis and the city's hero MetroMan, poor megamind finds himself without a purpose. whats the point in being bad if more ... |
 | The Other Guys (Film)Weird but funny!! - SarahNot being the biggest will ferrell fan, I was wondering would I even like this film, but this movie, though very strange and weird in places is actually hilarious. the opening scene is like something out of bad boys, and I didnt even realise that Samuel L and the Rock were in it til we started watching it. Michael Keaton is gas as the police chief with 2 more ... |
 | The King's Speech (Film)Excellent - SarahAn amazing film about Bertie's struggle with a speech impediment and how an unknown man helped him over come this hurdle and give him the strength to step up to the mark and become the reluctant King George VI. Fantastic portrayal of the reluctant king by Colin Firth, really powerful and totally believable. Geofrey Rush plays Lionel, a man gifted with more ... |
 | Over The Hedge (Film)Hilarious - SarahThis has to be one of the better animated films with animals in the last few years. Fantastic cast of voices and a brilliant script, I really enjoyed this tale of foraging and family. I especially laughed at parts like when something happened in the neighborhood, and then the camera zoomed out to a shot of the earth and you could see it happening on a more ... |
 | The Wild (Film)I LOL'ed! - SarahOk, perhaps Im feeling extra childish because its christmas but I have to say I really did laugh at the Wild. a bit cheesey in parts, but I found this film very funny, especially Nigel the koala bear, with some very funny one liners. the Animation is amazing, I really love the part with the chameleons, very cool. And the little cub Ryan is cute out. I more ... |
 | The Road (Film)good but not for me. - SarahIm not a huge fan of post-apocolyptic type films, I didnt particularly like the Book of Eli for example. But I had heard that the Road was a good film, and I like Viggo Mortensen so I wanted to see it. The acting was good and the effects were good but I just felt this movie was too drawn out. It dragged out a lot and some of the scenes I found a bit more ... |
 | The Boat That Rocked (Film)Brilliant fun! - SarahFantastic film about the golden age of pirate radio in the UK. With a great quirkey cast and brilliant tunes through out, this is a real feel good film. I was laughing and bopping along to the songs. The characters are great fun and the story lines are so mad you can imagine there is perhaps some truth behind them. Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Bill Night more ... |
 | Gran Torino (Film)fantastic! - SarahWell it took me long enough, but I finally got around to watching Grand Torino. Why did it take me so long? I cant stand clint eastwood. No idea why, but I never liked him as an actor or any of his films. I have to say though, he is one hell of a director and Grand Torino is a fantastic film. Wonderful script with an unknown cast, and the most expensive more ... |
 | The Wolfman (Film)good halloween flick - Sarahin the spirit of halloween decided to watch the Wolfman. I didnt have high expectations as I had heard a lot of people giving out that the effects were only ok and it was a poor take on the original, how ever if you watch the film with no preconceptions you can enjoy it for what it really is. a dark period action flick based on the old legend of the more ... |
 | Let Me In (Film)what a disappointment - SarahI dont know how anyone could give this film, 4 never mind 2 stars. Boring for very long periods, with poor dialogue and little suspense, this film does not live up to the hype. Expecting a tense thriller with a bit of horror thrown in (and released in time for Halloween) I was expecting a few jumps, however I just found the scenes that did have some more ... |
 | This Is It (Film)unreal!!! - SarahI wasnt sure if I would like this film/documentary. but this is an amazing piece of film, with a wonderful insight in to the final few days of the King of Pop. Micheal Jackson was not only a music genius, but also an amazing human being. the way he treated the people he worked with and the amount of work he put into the show himself shows his determination more ... |
 | The Princess And The Frog (Film)back to basics! - SarahWell thank god for this. Dont get me wrong I love Disney Pixar, but its great to see them go back to the basics and do what Disney do best, animation. no fancy stuff, just a cartoon with a brilliant script, some fairly recognizable voices and a wonderful selection of songs that I found myself humming along to. the cartoon style reminded me of Hercules and more ... |
 | Kick Ass (Film)great film! - SarahKick Ass is the story of a geeky comic book lover who wants to be a superhero, and after getting stabbed and mugged, ends up becoming just that. Though the main character is Kick Ass, I think the real star of this hilarious film is Hit Girl. Quality acting from the young and very talented Chloe Moretz. this young one is a star in the making. Great acting more ... |
 | Body of Lies (Film)very good - SarahRoger Ferris is the CIA man on the ground in war torn Iraq. Ed Hoffman is the puppet master pulling the strings from Langley, and really doesn't know what its like on the ground for his operative in this extremely volatile environment. The film starts off with your stereotypical CIA operations where they turn the locals for info on the terrorists. things more ... |
 | Superman Returns (Video)there is only one superman - Sarahas fan of the old superman movies, I wasnt pushed about seeing this new revamped man of steel. But sure I had to see for my self how bad or good this new version was. I have to say as far as superhero films go, Brian Singer usually gets it right. He did a good job on this flick, knowing himself that he could never really live up to the original. The more ... |
 | Whip It (Film)good movie - SarahI cant say I knew much about roller derby but this film certainly brings it to the masses. Whip It! was described as a typical girly movie by my friend, but I dont think I would agree with that. Whip it is a clichéd feel good moral story but its hilarious. Ellen Page plays the awkward teen, being forced to par-take in ridiculous beauty pageants, and more ... |
 | Waitress (Film)Excellent - SarahWaitress just a great film. Poor Jenna is a pie-making genius, trapped in a loveless marriage to an abusive husbund, with a pie making contest out of state as her only hope of escape. then the unthinkable happens. She gets pregnant. Que the arrival of a ne GP, who is just the nicest guy on the planet. and Jenna finds herself in unfamiliar territory. This more ... |
 | Moon (Video)Quality stuff. - SarahThis is a different kind of movie. I really didnt know what to expect, but I have to say I was impressed with this film. this film is essentially a one man show, Sam Rockwell, being the star. He is a quality actor and is not given enough credit in my opinion. Kevin Spacey is great as the voice of Sam's robotic companion, Gerty. People keep asking me what more ... |
 | The Black Dahlia (Film)boring - Sarahwhat a cast, what a director, what a great movie to look at, but thats about it. I found this film hard to follow, and I was by no means sucked in by this overly twisted and complicated plot. this film felt like it spent so much time dancing around a fairly eclectic bunch of characters, and trying to explain an overly complicated story, that it forgot more ... |
 | Green Zone (Video)Fantastic! - SarahWeapons of Mass Destruction (WNDs), did they even exist, that is the question every one was asking after the USA and co invaded Iraq. a more plausible explanation was that these so-called WMDs were a figment of somebody's imagination and used as an excuse for invasion after the events surrounding 9/11. The film opens with our hero, the ordinary, but more ... |
 | Munich (Film)very good - SarahThis film is based on the events surrounding the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Games 1972. The Islamic Terrorist group Black September kidnapped and murdered the jews who were due to compete in the Olympic games. Israel wanted revenge, to stand up and say "We will not stand for this". A Mossad officer (kauffman) is offered the assignment, more ... |
 | Garden State (Film)meh - SarahThis movie didnt live up to the hype for me. Perhaps its because Im not the biggest Braff fan, but I found this film tried a bit too hard to be quirky at times. Fair play to Braff for writing, directing and staring in his first big movie, certainly not a bad first attempt. He is a good writer. There are a few laughs, I loved Natalie Portman's character, more ... |
 | Walk the Line (Video)Fantastic! - SarahBefore seeing this film I had only heard of Johnny Cash. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Whitherspoon play the two country singers, who were just meant to be together. The chemistry on screen is amazing and they are both fantastic singers to boot. I went out and bought the soundtrack after seeing the film. The music is wonderful, but also the way the story is more ... |
 | Edge of Darkness (Film)Quality stuff. - Sarahthe car chasing gun wielding sh** talking hard men, sit up and take notes! this is how a you make a real thriller. This film is engaging and you are enthralled in the story from the start. Edge of Darkness is a well paced film with an extremely well thought out plot and is totally believable, unlike some films which attempt a similar story but fail more ... |
 | Toy Story 3 (Film)Unreal!!! - SarahLike most of my generation, I believe Toy Story to be one of the films that was a big part of my childhood. I have been waiting for this for long and I had really high expectations, but I was not disappointed! This film is brilliant. We love the characters and their history and you really feel a connection with the story when you see the memories that Andy more ... |
 | The Book of Eli (Video)boring - Sarahaside from a hand full of cool fight scenes I found this a very drawn out film with an anti climactic ending and the story line was just silly. IMO. you can only make so many of these apocalyptic, "the humans will bring about their own destruction" movies. really boring, and its a pity, coz I love Denzel Washington. Gary Oldman was only ok, but the girl, more ... |
 | The Matrix Revolutions (Film)sooooo disappointed. - SarahI remember going to the cinema to see this movie when it came out. and I was looking forward to it. I loved the first Matrix film, was left slightly confused by the Matrix Reloaded and was hoping Revolutions would provide the answers I was looking for. not so. my brother and I stayed up til 2 am watching the matrix revolutions the other night and by the more ... |
 | Pathology (Film)meh - SarahI am very interested in the actual subject of pathology so I really wanted to see this movie. I was expecting a horror flick. ok they got that much right. enough blood guts and sex to keep the boys happy. A bit of an unbelievable story though. they would never get away with that in reality. the relationships between the characters were non-existent and the more ... |
 | The Flying Scotsman (Video)Good little movie. - SarahI had heard of this film but never heard anything about it, so when it started at 12:30 on a Sunday night I decided to stay up and watch it. I was not disappointed. A convincing performance from Miller as the world champion Obree, with a good supporting cast. I thought this was a lovely but real story about a man so determined to achieve his dream and over more ... |
 | Robin Hood (Film)I liked it!!! - SarahVery mixed views on Crowe's portrayal of the Hooded outlaw, but I have to say I had very high expectations of this film and I wasn't let down. I loved the cast, the attention to detail with sets and cinematography, but most of all I like the story. I was a bit more realistic than other interpretations I have seen. I was a bit wary of cate Blancette being more ... |
 | Centurion (Film)Enjoyable is the wrong word, but I enjoyed it! - SarahAs a big fan of these roman historical epics, I was going to see this film whether the reviews were good or bad. I like to make up my own mind about these things. So, Centurion is an account of the demise of the ill fated 9th Legion, know in history as the Last Legion. The mystery of the 9th Legion is a funny one. No one seems to know exactly what happened more ... |
 | Clash of the Titans (Film)not great!!! - Sarahwell I was expecting this to be a good action film. the effects were amazing, but the acting script and the story let this film down. considering you had Liam Neeson and Ralph Feinnes and Liam Cunningham playing pretty main characters, theses characters were very cartoonish. Now I realise that this film is based on greek legend, but you just couldnt take more ... |
 | Cars (Film)Fantastic - SarahA pixar film I have put off seeing for a long time, because Im not a "car person", howvever I was so wrong. This is a great movie. The story is great, the characters are gas and the animation is top quality. I laughed out loud (or LOLed as some people say) more than once. This a real good'un from Pixar. It took me a while to nail all the voices in this more ... |
 | The Ugly Truth (Film)funny in parts - SarahThis film is another converbelt hollywood rom-com. you've got you beautiful blonde (who in fairness has great comedic timing) and the sexy hunk (who tries a little too hard with the American accent in my opinion), and I good enough script with some great one liners. but some where along the way it just all becomes a little too clichéed and stereotypical. more ... |
 | Law Abiding Citizen (Video)mmmmmmm - SarahI was hoping this would be a good thriller. I like Gerard Butler, and Jamie Foxx, but lads, this film was just..... bad. It could have been so much better if it wasnt so far fetched. The ten year time gap in the middle was made completely implausible by the fact that no one aged a day. the acting wasnt great in all fairness, and the plot fell apart in the more ... |
 | Up (Video)This is what the world needs - SarahI dont know about everyone else, but I for one am sick of doom and gloom. I am sick of everyone being miserable and sad. What we all need is a pick me up! And Disney Pixar can always be counted on for that! Up is an amazing film. The first 20 mins you are just smiling and if your like me, nearly crying too. and then you go on this amazing adventure. Meet more ... |
 | District 9 (Film)Im on the fence! - SarahDistrict 9 follows an employee of a multinational who is charged with the task of relocation a population of aliens who have been holed up in a slum in Johannesburg for the last 20 years. they want to move these aliens, who's population has grown too big, to concentration camp-like facility, miles away from the human population. these relocation is non more ... |
 | Up In The Air (Film)What a classic! - SarahI get a feeling this will be a film I will watch over and over! Its got everything, great cast (although I have to admit Im not a Clooney fan!), fantastic script with quirky, witty dialogue. I loved this film. was entertained from beginning to end. The story you think might have a happy ending, I didnt see that ending coming. Well I didnt anyway. This film more ... |
 | Invictus (Film)I loved it! - SarahI love rugby, I love true stories and I love Morgan Freeman, so I went to see this movie with extremely high expectations. and I have to say I wasnt disappointed. I thought it was a wonderfully inspiring story, just what everyone needs right now, in my opinion. so sick of doom and gloom, here was a real life example of how a small bunch of people can make more ... |
 | Avatar (Film)Feast for the eyes!!!! - SarahWhat a cinematic experience!!! This was the 1st film I have ever seen in 3D and I was amazed!! It was absolutely spectacular. Avatar is an epic story. Im amazed they were able to fit it all into the 2 and a half hours. they story was good. the acting was good too, with the exception of the military commander who was just cartoonish. Weaver was great! I more ... |
 | Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Video)What a joke!!! - SarahI was sooooooo disappointed with this film!!! Not only did it completely deviate from the book, but the acting was shocking and they left out the most important bits!!! Its like someone went through the book, crossed out all the best bits and then handed it to the director and said off with ya! They created scences that never appeared in the book, left out more ... |
 | The Italian Job (Video)Its got everything! - SarahI love this movie! Its got action romance a baddy you want to smack in the gob, and a good few laughs. Not to mention the cool cars! This is a movie about revenge! Getting your own back on that little weasel who managed to take the gold you busted a gut to get! not to mention he killed the only father youve ever known! well thats mark wallbergs character more ... |
 | A Beautiful Mind (Video)Really good! - SarahI didnt get it till the very end! amazing movie though! the way all the different characters played a part in his life!!! It goes to show that most brilliant men are nuts! I couldnt believe it was a true story, the director did a fantastic job of translating it to the screen. Crowe was brilliant, but bettany gave a great performance. and this was by far more ... |
 | The Day After Tomorrow (Video)Alright we get it! - SarahWe're killing the planet with global warming! Talk about over emphasising the point! I mean I love my disaster movies! Twister, the Core, Armageddon etc. but this one was a joke. the Story line probably looked great on paper but if it wasnt for the amazing special effects this film would have been a disaster (pardon the pun). the acting was diabolical! more ... |
 | Taken (Video)Wow! - Sarahtalk about hard hitting! Liam Neeson is my new hero! forget Daniel Craig! I want Neeson! He kicks some serious arse in this flick! The action scenes in this film were something else! Fantastic! fast hard hitting, no holds barred! and extremely realistic, which sometimes I feel the modern day action flick lacks. the fight sequences didnt come across as being more ... |
 | Love Actually (Video)Love, Actually is all around! - SarahThis film manages to pull together a number of different love stories, some happy, some sad, and I didnt get confused once! from the arse-kicking primeminister to the hopeless writer to the frumpy housewife, we all know someone like them. With a wonderfull soundtrack and that brilliant number by billy mack "Christmas is all around" who couldnt more ... |
 | Wimbledon (Video)Game Set Match!!! - SarahI was dragged to see this movie by a tennis obsessed friend. I was shocked to discover 1. I loved the movie and 2. I also like tennis. this rom-com is better than some of the usual tripe they think it is necessary to churn out year on year. its like they have some sort of quota to fill. but yet again the brits get it right. Bettany portrays the fading pro more ... |
 | Zodiac (Video)A bit of a disappointment - SarahI thought this film would be great. It had everything I was looking for, drama and suspense. a good thriller. this movie would have been great if it hadnt been dragged out so long. I left the cinema feeling unsatisfied and with a lot of questions. thats real life I know, but surely they could have end the film a bit better. The story dries up about half way more ... |
 | Mongol (Video)Amazing! - SarahWhat a spectacular movie! I wouldnt be one for the old subtitles but this film! after a while you forget about that!!! 1. the acting. cast of unknowns. fantastic! really passionate performances, I thought 2. Cinematography. the locations used in this film were just amazing. You really felt like you were being transported back to that time! sweeping shots of more ... |
 | Underworld: Rise Of The Lycans (Film)Not as bad as expected! - SarahI sat down to watch this movie with very low expectations which led me to thinking its not that crap. I thought the effects were great, what you'd have come to expect really when there are werewolves and vampires involved. Bill Nigh is great! he pulls off the haughty noble part brilliantly and the discusted father even better! Michael Sheen I would more ... |
 | The Damned United (Video)I Liked It!!! - SarahAs a Leeds fan I was really looking forward to seeing this film. I was gutted when I missed the chance to see it in the cinema, but finally I got to watch it on DVD. A thoroughly enjoyable look at the infamous 44 day period at Leeds United. Sheen plays the "Man Manager" Clough, brilliantly!!! You really forget you are watching an actor playing a more ... |
 | The Godfather Trilogy (Video)Great movies - SarahI have been meaning to watch the godfather films for a very long time, but I either never had the time or the inclination to do so. This weekend my best friend convinced me to watch all three films together. I have to say I didnt think I would like them but I was pleasently surprised. The story was complicated in parts and I could never really understand more ... |
 | King Arthur (Film)doesn't live up the the title!!! - SarahThe Legend of King Arthur and his Knights is infamous. Every knows at least the gist of the story. This film adaptation tries to give the story a basis in reality, make it believable. Bad idea. Not only is this a very poor attempt at making Arthur real and his knights too, but the script is very weak and the story isnt as believable as the director intended more ... |
 | Finding Nemo (Video)Disney at its best. - SarahI was always a disney fan but this movie is definatly not just for the kids. The humour is fantastic. everyone knows some one like Marlin. The classic over protective daddy goes in search of his son Nemo and unwittingly embarks on a fantastic adventure making friends along the way. Tha amazing Dori is one of my favourite animated characters ever!!! Poor more ... |
 | Spider-Man 3 (Film)OMG!!! - SarahI love my comic book hero movies! Im a big fan of the Xmen series and when I younger I love the Spiderman cartoon. The first film was good. The 2nd was worse and I avoided the 3rd for a very long time. However there I was one night with nothing to watch and flicking around found Spidy 3. 2 hours of rubbish. The acting was horendous! the special effects were more ... |
 | 500 Days Of Summer (Film)500 days of summer - SarahThis is a story about love... not a love story, we are warned at the begining of this film. Poor Tom believes he will never find the "ONE". Then he falls for the new girl in the office, Summer Finn. But Summer isn't like your typical woman. She diesn't believe in love or having a serious relationships. Great! Tom finally finds the girl of his more ... |
 | The Time Traveler's Wife (Film)doesn't live up tot he expectations. - SarahI have to admit I was hoping to read the book before I saw the film but didnt get the chance. I have been told about the Timetraveller's Wife by a few people and when I saw the ad I was looking forward to it. Armed with a pack of tissues I was setting my self up to be a blubbering mess by the end, but not a single tear was shed. I am a big sci-fi fan. I more ... |
 | Must Love Dogs (Film)Im a hopeless romantic! - SarahI loved this movie. I did! whats not to like! John Cussack, doing what he does best in my opinion which is rambling on with philosophical arguments about love and loss etc. I wasnt really a big Diane Lane fan but I really thought she gave a convincing performance, looking the part too. Not airbrushed within an inch of her life like so mant hollywood more ... |
 | Watchmen (Video)ok.................. - SarahIm open minded when it comes to movies. I believe in giving something a chance at least once. But this movie... Im almost at a loss for words. I get it...kinda. I understand the "message" that they were tring to get across, I think. the greater good and all that. but the senseless violence! Really over did it with the smashing of bones and blood more ... |
 | The Proposal (Film)This film rocked! - SarahI love my romcoms and I thought I had seen them all. And you know that Sandra Bullock will be funny! And Im also a big fan of ryan reynolds. But this movie was halarious. Sandra Bullock as Margaret Tate is the Queen of bitchiness at the beginning. As the head honcho of a leading publishing company, she really gives Andrew (Reynolds) the aspiring editor, more ... |
 | Duplicity (Video)Rubbish!!! - SarahI was looking forward to this movie. Clive Owen! Julia Roberts! I thought this will be good! But my god! it was all confusion. What on earth was the point of the really long slow motion scene at the airport?!?!?!? That was 5 mins of my life I will never get back! Then there was the hopping back and forth! Why!! I like a good thriller with a twist! I can more ... |
 | 27 Dresses (Video)Its a RomCom...what else can I say??? - SarahI love James Marsden, and I do like Katherine Heigl(even if I hate Grey's Anatomy). So I sat down and I watched this film expecting a girl meets guy and hates him at first but then falls madly in love with him kinda movie. And thats exactly what I got. Very predictable in places, you would wonder how did the writers pitch this in the first place. but having more ... |
 | The Holiday (Film)Soppy!!!! - SarahI have to say after watcing this movie I loved half of it and hated the rest. I loved the Kate Winslet story line. but the Cameron Diaz -Jude Law one was rubbish. Jude Law is just not likeable!!! The chemistry in my opinion was none existant between him and Diaz. It wasnt even a bit funny even though I think it was supposed to be. Jack Black is not one of more ... |
 | The Other Boleyn Girl (Film)Drama! - SarahPhenomenal film!!!! The acting from Johannsan and Portman was powerfull. The character of Ann is likeable at first but as the film progresses we being to see what a manipulative woman she really is. The Boleyn sisters and brother were used as pawns by their father and especially their uncle in a play for power in England. Their futures were planned out for more ... |
 | The Hangover (Film)All the Hype! - SarahWell after hearing sooooo many good things about this film I eventually got round to seeing it this weekend and I wish I had not listened to everyone when they told me how good it was because I wasnt as impressed as I thought I would be. I was expecting an halarious comedy. I got comedy but it was definatly not as funny as every one was making it out to be. more ... |
