Rango (Film) Rango rating: 2 Star

Okay - Gary

On first look this may seem like a kids film but I would not recommend it for younger children this film falls between a number of stools as it is not an action film or a comedy so much and part of the film is very funny such as the start with the bird in the desert but the last few scenes with the snake are just weird.Rango is a lizard who is a family pet more ...

True Grit (Film) True Grit rating: 3 Star

Worth Watching - Gary

I think I expected too much when I went to watch this film a remake of the John Wayne film produced by the Cohen Brothers and staring Jeff Bridges in the role that won John Wayne his only Oscar. The film is good but not brilliant I thought the film star is Hailee Steinfield who plays Mattie Rose whose father was killed and whom will not rest until his more ...


Yogi Bear (Film) Yogi Bear rating: 2 Star

For Toddlers Only - Gary

This film does not really have a plot which is okay for a kids film, but anyone over 7 will find it a bit long and boring. The characters are a bit dull and not that likeable spicily Yogi who is voiced by Dan Akroyd and Boo is voiced by Justin Timerlake.The adult actors are not too inspiring or funny either but I did think the 3d affects were not bad. The more ...


Due Date (Video) Due Date rating: 3 Star

Not the Hangover 2 but still Funny - Gary

This film was much anticipated due to it being Todd Phillips follow up to the Hangover. The film is not as good as the Hangover but there are some good laughs in it.

Things are going to plan until a mix up with Zach more ...

No Strings Attached (Film) No Strings Attached rating: 3 Star

Not Bad - Gary

This film is most definentley a chick flick and most of the audience will be happy as they will see Ashton Kucher with no clothes on a lot.The film was better than I thought it does not take itself too seriously and from a plot point of view we know what is going to happen pretty much from the start but the journey is funny.Adam Played by Kucher meets Emma more ...


Just Go With It (Film) Just Go With It rating: 3 Star

Not Enough Laughs - Gary

This film is not terrible but there are not enough laughs in it would definitely have been better if they could have cut the time short by about 20 Minutes.

Easy A (Film) Easy A rating: 4 Star

Good Story - Gary

This film is an interesting take on what it is like to be in high school and how difficult it is to fit in and sometimes bad publicity is better than none at all. We Meet Olive played brilliantly by Emma Stone who shows the same great humour she showed in Zombie land here as a teenager who is invisible nobody knows her she is used by her demanding best more ...


Alpha and Omega (Film) Alpha and Omega rating: 2 Star

Poor - Gary

I went to see this film as my Niece is scared of Owls and would not go to see the Legends of the Guardians and it is a poor film. The story is very basic and there are very few laughs in it I thought the 3d affects were not bad considering all the action in the sleigh but for all those families out there on midterm bring them to see Despicable me instead of more ...


Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps (Film) Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps rating: 2 Star

Dissapointing - Gary

This film would on the surface seem to have everything a great cast and a relevant story so it should be a great film it is not and the blame for that must rest with the Director Oliver Stone. This film starts with Geko being released from prison after his 8 years inside he has few possessions one is a huge old Mobile phone which provides one of the few more ...


Despicable Me (Film) Despicable Me rating: 4 Star

Brilliant For Adults and Kids - Gary

This film is extremely funny and will keep the young ones amused as well as the adults and there are enough jokes just for the adults also.

The Other Guys (Film) The Other Guys rating: 3 Star

Very Funny - Gary

I really like Will Ferrell I think he is so underrated he stars here with Mark Wahlberg as 2 cops who are not treated with a lot of respect Wahlberg shot one of the New York Yankees in the leg and cost them the world series and Ferrell plays a nerd who does all the paper work and chases people for building Permit violations. The 2 best policemen in the more ...


Made In Dagenham (Film) Made In Dagenham rating: 4 Star

Very Good Film - Gary

This film Directed by Nigel Cole is based on a true story and is an excellent film combining drama and humour well. This film is based in Dagenham at the Ford Plant which at the time employs 55,000 people of which 157 of them are women. As was the way back then the women are paid less than the men and they are not happy because they have now been more ...


Salt (Film) Salt rating: 3 Star

Pyjama Girls (Film) Pyjama Girls rating: 1 Star

Hated this Film - Gary

This film I thought was terrible it revolves around following Lauren and Tara around and seeing what they do for the day. The reason we are to be so fascinated with them is they wear Pyjamas out in public. They seem to enjoy the attention of the camera and do at times play up to it and I do believe this leads to them showing off and behaving in a way they more ...


Marmaduke (Film) Marmaduke rating: 3 Star

Average Film - Gary

There have been some great kids films this summer but Marmaduke does not fall into that category although it is better than Cats and Dogs.

Katy Perry - Teenage Dream (CD) Katy Perry - Teenage Dream rating: 2 Star

Very Predictable - Gary

When Katy Perry first arrived on the scene with I kissed a girl she seemed like a artist who knew what she wanted and was not going to be told what to do,unfortunantley this is not true of this second album.The tunes are catchy such as the first single California girls and The follow up single teenage dream but even with all the mixing and special guests it more ...


Imelda May - Mayhem (CD) Imelda May - Mayhem rating: 4 Star

Good Follow Up - Gary

Imelda May really comes off as a really good and genuine person who has never lost sight of where she has come from and that happiness and sincerity comes through in her music and this album.

Miley Cyrus - Can't Be Tamed (CD) Miley Cyrus - Can't Be Tamed rating: 1 Star

Not a fan - Gary

This is Miley Cyrus 4th album she has been around that long and this is her album where she continues to be a grownup she sings about breaking free from expectations and constraints she has been under, most of the tracks on the album are similar to her other albums with ballads and pop numbers just edgier lyrics and dress sense. The title track was the more ...


Robin Hood (Video) Robin Hood rating: 3 Star

Okay it is not Gladiator - Gary

There has been a lot of talk and excitement about this film due to the reunion of Crowe and Ridley Scott and I think a lot of people expecting another Gladiator will be dissapointed.The film sees Crowe as a soldier in King Richards Army fighting in France and when they hear the King is dead they decide it is best to escape back to England on the way they more ...


Prince Of Persia (Video) Prince Of Persia rating: 2 Star

Average - Gary

This film is high on action and stunts with very little storyline and not much in the way of great acting which is a shame considering the cast of Jake Gyllenhaal and Ben Kingsley.Gyllenhaal plays Dastan who as a young Orphan was picked by the King of Persia to be his son after impressing him with his bravery and fighting skills. We move forward and Dastan more ...


Date Night (Video) Date Night rating: 3 Star

I Enjoyed it - Gary

This film got very poor reviews and I have to admit it is not as good as it should be with the ability of the 2 leads but it is a good film and it does have a few laughs.

The Joneses (Video) The Joneses rating: 3 Star

Good Idea But Loses its way - Gary

This is a clever film a bit like the Truman show and it works to a degree but the ending is a bit dissapointing.The Joneses are a perfect American Family who seem to have it all the handsome Father played by David Duchovny and the Beautiful mum played by Demi Moore and two pretty teenage kids a boy and a girl.The Joneses have the best of everything from more ...


Date Night (Film) Date Night rating: 3 Star

Not as Good as it should have been - Gary

This was a film I was looking forward to as it has 2 of the funniest people on TV around but a bad director can ruin everything and the 2 stars are not as funny or bright as they should be.Here the plot is that Carell and Fey are a married couple who have got into a comfort zone with each other and have a routine with no passion or excitment.One of their more ...

Glee is the TV show which has swept the nation and has now delivered an album.Fans of the show will enjoy this others I am not so sure about as some of the songs do not work without watching the show like Goldigger and Bust a move.However there are some good songs here like Defying Gravity from the musical Wicked and also Dont stop Beliving.This album does more ...

Law Abiding Citizen (Video) Law Abiding Citizen rating: 2 Star

Terrible - Gary

In this film Gerard Butler tries to do an American Accent as well as he did an Irish one in PS I love you and the rest of the film is just as bland and phony.

Nine (Video) Nine rating: 2 Star

Dissapointing - Gary

The cast for this film is brilliant so you would be forgiven for thinking the movie should be great its not it is too long and the story is not told very well.Daniel Day Lewis plays Guido a brilliant Italian Director whose last 2 films were flops and he is now under pressure to do a new film.The problem is he is suffering from writers block and has not more ...

Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang (Film) Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang rating: 3 Star

Not as Good as the First Film - Gary

This film was released for the Easter holidays and should amuse some of the children for a while but it is not as good as the first one and I would recommend going to See How to Train your Dragon instead of this. We meet Maggie Gyllenhaal whose husband is away fighting in the second World war she is running the farm and looking after her 3 children when she more ...


The Blind Side (Film) The Blind Side rating: 4 Star

Old Dogs (Film) Old Dogs rating: 1 Star

Horrific - Gary

After watching this film all I can say is that I am amazed this film did not win a rassle All about Steve must be bad, US forces should play this film to prisoners in Iraq to make them confess.

The Bounty Hunter (Film) The Bounty Hunter rating: 2 Star

Poor Film considering the Cast - Gary

Whenever you read about the 2 leads in a film being romantically linked together you can assume the film is not great and they are trying to sell the film, this is definitely the case here as there is absolutely no chemistry on screen between Jennifer Aniston or Gerard Butler. This is a film which has been done before but better by others. We meet Milo more ...


Precious (Film) Precious rating: 4 Star

Hard Hitting Film should watch it - Gary

At the end of this film my wife was wiping away tears and I looked around and some people were sitting there in shock at what they had just seen this really is a raw powerful story with no happy fairytale ending.

All About Steve (Film) All About Steve rating: 1 Star

Go To Its Complicated Instead - Gary

This film was made in 2007 and not released until this year and it's not hard to see why I think it was released on the back of the success of the Proposal and The Hangover. This film we see Sandra Bullock as Mary who is odd and a bit like her character in Miss Congeanilty.Mary is set up on a date by her parents with Steve and she is instantly smitten with more ...


Couples Retreat (Video) Couples Retreat rating: 2 Star

Dissapointing - Gary

Considering the cast this film does not hit the heights you would expect, the best bits are actually in the trailer. What happens is 4 couples go off on a retreat to recharge their batteries and help their friend couple who after years of not being able to have a baby are close to splitting up. The other couples just think they are signing up to a bit of more ...


Esmee Denters - Outta Here (CD) Esmee Denters - Outta Here rating: 3 Star

A Good Start - Gary

This is the girl who has become a big hit after her singing was seen on Utube,it realy is like a rags to riches tale with Justin Timberlake seeing her and signing the Dutch Singer.You can definentley hear Timberlake's influence throughout the album and depending on your taste that is a good or a bad thing.In fact the list of writers and producers who worked more ...


OneRepublic - Waking Up (CD) OneRepublic - Waking Up rating: 4 Star

A Good Album - Gary

This album shows off a range of talent that a lot of people might not have realised that One Republic have,they are most famous for their big ballads and there are some here but they have made it their business not to just try and release another apologise.The First Single all the right moves announced they were changing direction and were capable of other more ...

Wait for Up to come out On DVD - Gary

Olivia has what she thinks is a magic blanket but Evan being the sensible one does not listen and wants to take it away from her. He is divorced from Olivia more ...


Ke$ha - Animal (CD) Ke$ha - Animal rating: 3 Star

A Good Star - Gary

I belive Ke$ha will be a big star this year with her attitude and style but is there anything to back this up with,the answer is yes in parts but this album is far from perfect but she has a mixed album with some of it sounding like Katy Perry and also the very pink influenced Party at a rich Dudes House.The rest of the album is quite plesant with the lead more ...


The Invention of Lying (Video) The Invention of Lying rating: 2 Star

Loses it Half way Through - Gary

This film is a clever idea as Ricky Gervais plays Mike who lives in a world where no-one can lie,this does create some funny moments when you have people telling mothers their baby is ugly but after a while it falls flat.Mike is going through a tough time he has been fired and he can not get anywhere with his dream woman Jenifer Garner,then he manages to more ...


Alexandra Burke - Overcome (CD) Alexandra Burke - Overcome rating: 3 Star

A Decent Debut - Gary

Straight from the 'X Factor' and how far would Alexandra Burke go if she was just another singer with a debut album? Top of the charts or Top 20? The latter, but while there's a big issue with her finding her own identity away from the pack, Burke shows enough here to make you think that she will be around in the music industry for a long time. The biggest more ...


Whitney Houston - I Look To You (CD) Whitney Houston - I Look To You rating: 3 Star

A good Comeback - Gary

Look to You' opens with one of the best things Whitney Houston has ever recorded. 'Million Dollar Bill' has a great club groove, an irresistible sample from Loleatta Holloway's 1976 classic 'We're Getting Stronger' and vocal production from Alicia Keys. If only Houston had worked with her on more songs. That's not to say that this is a bad album, it's just more ...


Harry Brown (Film) Harry Brown rating: 4 Star

UK Verison of Gran Torino - Gary

Harry Brown is a widower who lives a quite life with his best mate Leonard who he plays chess with and goes for a pint with,2 unassuming men.The place where he has lived all his life in London has decorated and is full of drugs and gangs which leads to quite violent crime.

The Men Who Stare At Goats (Film) The Men Who Stare At Goats rating: 3 Star

Poor Film considering the Cast - Gary

The film based on the Jon Ronson bestseller is very original and it also has a great cast with Clooney,Bridges,Ewan Mcgregor and Kevin Spacey but it just does not entertain and the end of the film you will just feel it was far too long. The plot of the film is that Reporter bob Wilton played by Mcgregor is looking for a big story when he meets Lyn Cassady more ...

Monsters Vs. Aliens (Video) Monsters Vs. Aliens rating: 3 Star

A Good Family Film - Gary

'Monsters vs Aliens' is a frantically paced, fairly humorous and family pleasing 3D offering from DreamWorks Animation.

We are introduced to sweet bride-to-be Susan (Witherspoon), who is about wed her more ...


Bruno (Video) Bruno rating: 3 Star

Not as Good as Borat - Gary

It has been one of the most anticipated movies of the summer - the story of a flamboyant, gay Austrian 'fashionista' and his dream of stardom. And Sacha Baron Cohen does not disappoint with his stunning portrayal of Brüno, a man who gives Borat a run for his money and looks better in shimmery chain mail. Shamelessly confident and unnerving, Cohen more ...


Coraline (Video) Coraline rating: 4 Star

A Bit Dark but good - Gary

Based on Neil Gaiman's book, 'Coraline' is a children's story that is not afraid to be scary and even at times slightly disturbing. The tale takes place in two parallel worlds. The first is a grim, remote house set in a rather dull landscape to which the heroine, Coraline (Fanning), and her family have moved. Coraline is an only child whose parents are more ...


Inglourious Basterds (Film) Inglourious Basterds rating: 4 Star

Brilliant - Gary

A classic example of how expectations can sometimes limit an audience, 'Inglourious Basterds' should be far more wide-reaching than the subject matter suggests. It boasts better one-liners than any straight-up comedy, reminds us of why we can't stop talking about Quentin Tarantino and shows us what Brad Pitt can do with the right part. The setting is France more ...


The Firm (Film) The Firm rating: 2 Star

Poor - Gary

Alan Clarke's 1988 drama 'The Firm' was one of the best television programmes of that decade and gave Gary Oldman one of his defining roles as yuppie football hooligan Bex Bissell. In deciding to remake/reimagine it, some would say that Nick Love has given himself a thankless job, and after making 'The Football Factory' himself in 2004, a pointless one, more ...


The Invention of Lying (Film) The Invention of Lying rating: 3 Star

Starts well but fades badly - Gary

While 'The Invention of Lying' is certainly a step in the right direction from Gervais underrated 'Ghost Town', it starts off brilliantly but fails to maintain the pace. Once upon a time there was a world where no one ever lied. Ever. People were created without the ability to spin a yarn and so lived a tact-free existence where everybody told it like it more ...


12 Rounds (Video) 12 Rounds rating: 2 Star

Okay for a Rainy Day - Gary

The latest WWE hardman to swap one type of play acting for another, John Cena began his movie career with the critically panned 'The Marine' and now finds himself in higher profile company. Here he's partnered with 'Die Hard 2' and 'Cliffhanger' director Renny Harlin and 'Lethal Weapon' and 'The Last Boy Scout' writer Shane Black for a story involving more ...


Anything For Her (Video) Anything For Her rating: 4 Star

Very Good - Gary

Rarely does a film have audiences glued before the opening credits have rolled but the subtle yet violent opener of 'Anything for Her' does just that. This surprising, heartbreaking story has it all: realism, suspense, drama and love. A family is torn apart when the mother (Kruger) is falsely accused of murder, leaving her husband (Lindon) to raise their more ...


Five Minutes of Heaven (Video) Five Minutes of Heaven rating: 4 Star

Brilliant - Gary

An unflinching look at the legacy of violence on both perpetrator and victim, 'Five Minutes of Heaven' is a dark, intense yet ultimately hopeful piece of work about the human spirit's ability to overcome the cyclical nature of violence. Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, whose film 'Downfall' sought to explain the horrors of World War Two through individual more ...


Tormented (Video) Tormented rating: 2 Star

Very Average - Gary

, 'Tormented' is yet another horror set in an English secondary school where the bullied becomes the bully. Only this time the bullied bully is bullying from beyond the grave - a sentence more complicated than the plot. 'Stormbreaker's Pettyfer plays the leader of the 'cool' kids who have been making life hell for one student, Darren (Dean). After he takes more ...


I Love You, Man (Video) I Love You, Man rating: 3 Star

Worth Watching - Gary

There's something about Paul Rudd. One of the most likeable screen actors of his age group, Rudd paid his dues in supporting roles for years but, as this shows, he's a class leading man. There's also something about Jason Segel. One of Seth Rogen's posse in 'Knocked Up' and the dumped boyfriend in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall', Segel has more charisma than a more ...


State Of Play (Video) State Of Play rating: 4 Star

Brilliant - Gary

This is a political/newspaper thriller that sits comfortably among the genre's greats. Based on the 2003 TV series starring John Simm, David Morrissey and Bill Nighy, 'State of Play' sees an Irish-American journalist (Crowe) go to bat for his troubled politician friend (Affleck) when a suspicious death causes a scandal, threatening both his world and the more ...


Observe And Report (Video) Observe And Report rating: 3 Star

Different will divide opinion - Gary

You'd be forgiven for thinking 'Observe and Report' might be a heartwarming, goofy comedy - with Seth Rogen in the lead role and distinct similarities to the recent box office smash 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop'. But within minutes of this blackly comic film starting you are brought up to speed about director Jody Hill's intentions. Uncompromising in its scenes of more ...
