I'm A Cyborg, But That's OK [Saibogujiman kwenchana]

Meticulously shot anti-film that struggles to rise above being 'slightly charming'.

Ghostbusters


As close to cinematic perfection as can be.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen


Michael Bay plays his 'Bad Boys 2' trick. This trick is where you take a film that was shit with a few good bits, and then remake it a lot better and call it a sequel.
The first Transformers was very shit with a few good bits.
This new one is FUCKING AWESOME. (with a few shit bits).

You The Living [Du levande]


Enchanting collage of moments that is one part comedy and one part condemnation of mankind.

Terminator Salvation


Some impressive camera shots, some impressive explosions and some impressive ideas all conspire to form a film that manages to fall just short of impressive.

Extended visual obituary for a brilliant burnout.

The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor


I may as well have spent the evening peering intently up a septuagenarian's asshole.

Drag Me To Hell


Just when the jaded cynic had begun to believe that there could never be another truly great horror movie, along comes this jaw droppingly good blast of cinema to prove him wrong.
A truly great horror movie.

Tormented


A group of characters are clearly dilineated as utter cunts and are then killed in ways that make you smile.
Great fun, all hail the cinema of laughing cunt death.

The Colour Of Magic


An adaptation of two books that rely on being funny and creating spectacle to succeed, made by a director who appears to have absolutely no sense of how to create spectacle or be funny.

Planet Terror


Exploitation cinema as it is in my head.
Not as it actually was.
Awesome.

Star Trek


In retrospect this is a bit of a silly thing to say, but I think you need to like Star Trek to like this movie.
I don't like Star Trek.

Coraline [3D]


Absolutely fantastic.
The kind of film that I used to wish they would make when I was a kid, and which succeeded in turning me back into that kid again for 90 mins.
