Lakeview Terrace: A really weird film. Basically a single dad cop, who has custody of his children most of the time (or so it appears) has some new neighbours move in next door. However, they are mixed race, and that bothers this cop. He ends up turning their life into hell, blah blah. It was […]
blu-ray
Film: Eagle Eye (2008)
Eagle Eye: A pretty silly action/thriller flick. The US uses an all powerful computer to do intelligence stuff, it can hook into phones, cctv, etc. It amuses me how computers look so fancy in films – but, then, if they looked boring, the film would probably end up being boring too. Stuff blows up, people […]
Film: Righteous Kill (2008)
Righteous Kill: A thriller, in which the film constantly tries to mislead you into thinking the wrong way, which frustrates me. I didn’t think the story was all that good either. It’s not really worth watching, even though the acting is good, just the story is a bit pants. I give it 3/10
Film: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford: This seems to be a very odd film – it goes in the category of people’s fascination for criminals, which I’ll never really understand. It was very slow, and the Robert Ford character was very difficult to understand. I give it 4/10
Film: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: A film about a man who ages backwards. Very odd concept, but, I thought it was great. Not quite sure what the clockmaker had to do with anything though! I give it 8/10
Film: Wyatt Earp (1994)
Wyatt Earp: An epic saga about a real life ‘wild west hero’, Wyatt Earp. An interesting story, kept me interested most of the way through, and it was a very long film. However, I didn’t completely follow what was happening in Tombstone. I give it 7/10
Film: Starsky and Hutch (2004)
Starsky and Hutch: A very silly comedy based on the Starsky and Hutch characters – I don’t remember watching the series as a kid, so am not sure if the original was as silly as the film remake. I give it 6/10
Film: In the Line of Fire (1993)
In the Line of Fire: A film about someone who is trying to kill the president of the USA. I give it 5/10
Film: Gran Torino (2008)
Film: Moon (2009)
Moon: What an odd find! Very good sci-fi, with a minimal number of actors – only one actually on screen at a time. Not sure what can be said about this film without giving it away. I think there were a few flaws in this film too. GERTY was a good HAL type equivalent. I […]
