Film Review: The Watch

My 50 word or less opinion on the film  with no spoilers. If you have seen everything else at the cinema and have a couple of hours to spare, this is an option.  In the main, the humor is crass and the acting is not great, but the aliens are cool.  There are some laugh … Continue reading →

Film Review: Ted

My 50 word or less opinion on the film  with no spoilers. Funnier then I expected…familiar faces including a Ryan Reynolds cameo.  Admitedly not my first choice for a film. Continue reading →

Film Review: Expendables 2

My 50 word or less opinion on the film  with no spoilers. Better than the first!  Stallone, Lundgren, Van Damme, Norris, Willis, Li, Crew, Couture, Statham et al put a small section of the world to rights by blowing things up. Bad plastic surgery and big muscles – what’s not to love?  Fingers crossed Steven Seagal and Sammo Hung are in Expendables … Continue reading →

Film Review: The Dark Knight Rises

My 50 word or less opinion on the film  with no spoilers. The last in the trilogy so it is tying up loose ends.  Lots of action, cool cars and an amazing bike.  Bane sounds like Sean Connery, Michael Caine gets emotional and Anne Hathaway is a wholesome Catwoman but it has enough plot and action to keep you … Continue reading →

Film Review: The Amazing Spiderman

My 50 word or less opinion on the film  with no spoilers. The familiar spider suit and plot has been freshened up. The baddie has a stronger rational / human element (still British though) and it is great to have a female lead with more intelligence and gumption then in previous versions.  An enjoyable film. Continue reading →

Film Review: Red Lights

My 50 word or less opinion on the film  with no spoilers. Ooooooh, this is a good one.  The reveal at the end is like the one in Unbroken (remember when Samuel L Jackson…. anyway),  the story is engaging, the right level of tension, Joely Richardson’s accent is not convincing, and Robert De Niro has … Continue reading →

Film Review: Snow White and the Huntsman

My 50 word or less opinion on the film  with no spoilers. There are lots of familiar faces in this film  – remember Jim Carver from the Bill? And Lovejoy?  Anyway, it is a pass -the-time-film, not worthy of an oscar but it  kept me entertained, Chris Hemsworth’s accent is dodgy and slightly distracting. Continue reading →

Film Review: Prometheus

Film Review – My opinion on the film in 50 words or less – no spoilers. The cinematography is amazing.  I have a crush on Idris Elba so it is a bonus that he is in it… BUT…it is not his best american accent.  The plot is a little disjointed in places – I left the cinema with more … Continue reading →
