Sherlock Holmes: A kind of odd re-imagining of Sherlock Holmes by Guy Ritchie – where he is a drunk, and a martial arts expert, along with Dr. Watson. The story did keep things a little intriguing, but it wasn’t that good – it was just a bit of a fun blockbuster. However, Moriarty made a […]

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 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: 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 […]
Film: Flightplan (2005)
Flightplan: I am biased – I tend to like films with Jodie Foster in, so even if this film was completely and utterly pants, I’d probably think it was good, purely because she was in it. However, after watching this film about two weeks ago, I’m still in two minds. The story was a bit […]
Film: Phone Booth (2002)
Phone Booth: A waste of time. The acting was actually pretty good, but the story. Oh my goodness. I give it 2/10.
Film: Paycheck (2003)
Paycheck: A fairly odd premise – a smart guy works for companies, and then has his memory erased of what he did for them. One of the companies he works for, sets him up, and he ends up having to run away, with only a small bunch of items to help him. It’s almost like […]
Film: Changeling (2008)
Changeling: I watched this on recommendation from a friend. It’s about a single mother, who has a son. One day, she goes to work, and comes back home, and he’s not there. There’s a bit of a spoiler here, but, not much – apparently, in reality, she gave her son a dime, to go watch […]
Movie: National Treasure (2004)
National Treasure: A movie from my ‘hi-def’ list, so it’s not on the IMDB top 250 or anything. It has 6.8/10 as an average on there as I write this. Well, an odd one. I’ve always wanted to watch it, but there’s been something niggling at me about this movie that’s put me off ever buying […]
