13hrs


Hopeless drivel that looks like it was filmed for loose change then edited with a bread knife.
Stupid title too.

Megamind


The 8 year old's verdict: 'Boring'.
Reading between the lines there, I think she felt it required more talking dogs.

Frankenstein


Not technically a film but a) I watched it in a cinema and b) It breaks up the recent streak of shit on here by being bloody phenomenal.

Never Back Down [Get Some]


Unexpectedly passable hybrid of Karate Kid and Fight Club.

Air Buddies


Reduced Charlotte to catatonic simperings about how cute the dogs were, rendering her judgements untenable.
I felt as though fate were sending me a message, loud and clear, that there are worse films out there than Loaded.

Loaded


Fucking awful shit.
There were sporadic moments of unintentional hilarity but the rest of the time was spent wishing for everybody involved to be humanely destroyed.

A Prophet [Un prophète]


An exceptional portrayal of one man's journey through organised crime with a smattering of surrealist touches which, although beautiful, jar more than they elevate.

The Adjustment Bureau


Soggy melange of Dark City, The Fountain, Wings Of Desire and Monsters Inc with a disastrous ending clearly outlining that everybody involved just gave up on the whole affair.

March Of The Penguins


Basically says 'Aren't penguins weird?' only in the gentlest, most soothing tone possible.
