Drive Angry [3D]
I felt like I was simultaneously watching two films of differing quality as the director struggled to decide what story he was telling; the pursuit of Cage (great trash) or Cage's pursuit (trashy shit).

Double Agent 73
Even the shittest lump of tossed off trash will usually have a moment that surprises as you witness something you've never seen on screen before. In this it's a woman viciously beating a man about the head with her left tit which, due to an implanted micro camera, takes a photo every time it makes contact with the chaps face.

Yogi Bear [3D]
Charlotte came bursting out of this pitch perfect modern rendition of a classic and practically recited it verbatim. So I think it went down well.
I was just pleased that all the cod moralising that infects so much of childrens cinema was kept to a minimum allowing far more space for unashamed stupidity.

Coonskin
Brilliantly savage retelling of Disney's Song Of The South that skillfully navigates itself along the right side of a fine line that separates the attacking of racial stereotypes and the perpetuating of them, whilst also lashing out at phoney religion, corrupt police and the mafia.
A hip hop sample treasure trove.

The Fighter
The pertinent question in my mind was 'Do we need another boxing movie?'
The answer is yes! One that cleverly takes the genre stalwart 'emotional difficulties to be overcome' and externalises it as a second character allowing the opportunity for multiple victories and much uncontrollable joyous fist clenching for the viewer.
A more difficult question to answer is 'Are we going to need another boxing movie after this one?'

Red Mist [Freakdog]
Silliness abounds in this tale of a coma patient on a murderous rampage, although by far the most galling aspect is the majority British cast faking American accents and the Northern Irish locations doubling for the US in one of the worst cases yet of our film industry slurping on the cock of Hollywood.
