Kinky Boots - bit boring 3/10

Flightplan - wierd and boring in the middle - 4/10

The Wickerman (remake) - absolutely terrible and the ending I was laughing my head off. Bored mid way, only saving grace is Nic Cage who is always interesting to watch) - 4/10

Madagasger
watched it was kids, thought it was ok

Constantine - Keanu Reeves as Visionary Spook hunter and banisher John Constantine V, V, V Good

Donnie Darko, very good, fell in love with Jake Gyllenhaal even more! Bit of an abrupt end though I thought...

Temptress Moon - A good film, and I love Gong Li but gosh it was bleak. 6.5/10.

Lucky Number Slevin - I enjoyed this, and loved all the funky wallpaper! I did think there were a couple of plotholes? Or maybe I missed the twist to them but overall, cool film. 8/10

Oldboy 9/10

One Eyed Jacks 10/10

L.A Confidential 9/10

Committed 5/10

Crank - It was 'frickin' awesome!' . It made me laugh loads, very entertaining.

snakes on a plane - watchable but quite corny

Pieces of April - Enjoyable and a little unusual. 8/10

Jacknife 9/10

Another Robert De Niro powerhouse performance. Ed Harris and Kathy Baker put in excellent performances too. Jacknife and Davy are Vietnam vets recently returned home and struggle to return back to normality. Only through love and a determination to accept what they've been through can they're friendship succeed.

Free Enterprise - Shown on Sci-Fi as part of the 40th Star Trek celebration.
Silly in places, genuinely funny in others & William Shatner taking the p**s out of himself and Star Trek, this was quite a pleasant discovery. Never heard of it before last week.

Beerfest 4/10

This film is absolute crap, it has the odd funny bit but overall it was very dull. From the trailer it looked good, but obviously all the funny bits were put into the trailer, and some of the bits from the trailer weren't even in the film!

Talladega Nights
Funny in places but very forced in others. The film runs out of steam long before its over, personally I found the outtakes at the end credits to be the best bits.

Mountain Patrol- stunningly beautiful, really well handled adaptation of a true story, a rare treat! 9.5/10

Lost Embrace- directed by Daniel Burman- very funny story of a jewish Argentinian and his family...well worth seesing- I think it'll be out on dvd very soon. See it! 9/10

Volver - Gotta love Almodovar, but this one- well Penelope Cruz's singing bit- the dubbing was hilarious! and the twists were all too obvious. But it was funny, if a little predictable...so 8/10

A Scanner Darkly- Hmmm...not sure about the animated effect...got a bit bored in the middle and was SO SO much worse than a book. A bit of a shame really, as I was really looking forward to this one...6/10

Little Fish- Very dark at the end, but the characters were all really well developed, and it was beautifully shot. Cate Blanchett was brilliant. Very believable too 8.5/10

The Night Listener 6/10

Pretty decent film. Williams is a radio show story teller who receives communication from a young boy who hasn't got long to live. It's a story about friendship and is based on true events. Williams befriends the young boy who has a stepmother and becomes suspicious if he and the mother are one and the same person. It becomes clear at the end of the film what's happening and makes you question the real story which the film is based on. Overall good performance from Robin Williams.

Match Point - I'm not a fan of Woody Allen at the best of times so perhaps I cannot be totally objective but I really disliked this film. The plot was sound enough but the dialogue was awful. Allen clearly doesn't have a good grasp on how English people speak. Scarlett Johansson was as wooden as usual.

King Kong (2005) - Could do with a good 30 - 45 mins being cut off. I appreciate what Peter Jackson was trying to do but it didn't work for me. Too many characters and too many superfluous scenes. I imagine it would have been better had I seen it at the pictures.

The Rookie - Never give up on your dreams is the message of this film but it isn't laid on too thick and the film is feelgood without descending into saccharine nonsense.

In My Father's Den - A war photographer returns home for his father's funeral and befriends a young girl he finds in his old haunt. A suspenseful, fulfilling drama with uniformly excellent performances. A wee gem.

Kate & Leopold - Hugh Jackman plays an aristocrat acidentally transported into modern day New York where, horror upon horrors, he has to deal with Meg Ryan's shrieking cow of a character. Jackman makes the whole thing worthwhile by being utterly charming in the lead role.

Assault On Precinct 13 (2005)
I thought it would be a bunch of balls but it was surprisingly enjoyable. It isn't as dark as the original but I don't think this was meant to be a note for note remake. It's only spoiled by the totally unbelievable ending.

Stalingrad - Unfortunately I only got to see the appallingly dubbed version and that clouded my judgement and enjoyment of this film.
I couldn't help but feel genuine sympathy for the situation all these men found themselves in. I appreciated the ending even if I didn't like it.

Mr Deeds - I've never seen Mr Deeds Goes To Town but I imagine that this bears little resemblance. Possibly one of the most predictable films ever made. Follows the Sandler formula to the letter.

As Tears Go By - A minor Triad flunky keeps having to bail out his best mate and gets into trouble. He tries to leave the criminal life behind when he falls in love with his cousin.
The story reminds me a bit of Mean Streets. It's very rough around the edges and I couldn't really get into it. Andy Lau was in it though so there were some compensations.

The Proposition - One of my films of the year. A fly-blown, hot, sweaty, bloody & brutal depiction of the 'civilizing' of Australia. I felt grimy after watching it. The superb performances of Ray Winstone and Emily Watson plus the stunning cinematography makes this unmissable.

I las saw John tucker must die was very funny

Scary Movie 4 - Absolute rubbish. 2 funny bits out of 90mins isn't good enough.

Jeepers Creeper 2 - Not a bad sequel to a crap original.

The Black Dahlia
Wonderfully atmospheric but it just doesn't work as the film takes on too much and ultimately becomes confusing because you're not sure what leads the characters are following.

The Night Listener
Very enjoyable, after the barrage of bad reviews I wasn't expecting anything from this but was pleasantly surprised. Very good performances from Robin Williams and Toni Collette.

DOA: Dead or Alive
A perfect example of 'its so bad its good'. Total exploitation, it's hilarious. Classic scenes like two of the girls fight, they're in tight t-shirts and guess what...it starts to rain. Priceless.
Good fight choreography throughout though.
