The Artist (2011)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1655442/
An interesting experiment
But rather dull + predicable
Very Over-Rated
11/20 = 5.5/10

HUGO (2011)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0970179/
Much more enjoyable...
As predictable, but so what !
See it if you can.
17/20 = 8.5/10
Would have been higher, if Sacha Baron Cohen were ReCast.

Avengers Assemble (2012)

Excellent. Very enjoyable. Would like to have seen Hank Pym (as Giant Man) on the team though.

9/10

Chronicle (2012)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1706593/
Good Sci-Fi Action Flick
Actors a little old for High School
but such is the Hollywood way  :-\
Did it need the 'Found Footage' gimmick ?
--- NO, but at least it did not spoil it.
A solid 8/10 maybe 8.5

Haywire (2011)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1506999/
Another Good Action Flick
Derivative perhaps, but so what !
The weakest part for me was -
Ewan McGregor - unbelievable
Quote
voice altering thing they did to her voice
? I did not notice anything...
A solid 7/10 maybe 7.5

when you watch her speak her lip movements did not match up in all the scenes

Sometimes technology can spoil things rather than improve them. 

Some might argue it isn't that far removed from soft focus filming and even stretching the film to make the actors appear taller and thinner (like what was reported to have happened with "Friends"), or perhaps even greasepaint as all 3 give you imagery of an actor or actress that isn't what they actually look like.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

the voice thing did spoil it for me but maybe because Im just sensitive to that sort of thing.

anywho, just saw attack the block… totally enjoyed it!

and win win . i almost stopped watching because I was just so annoyed by what the main character did but in the end I enjoyed it.

That's encouraging as I'd hate to let a CGI film pass me by.
I wouldn't trust my sister's choice of film, she likes films I don't. :))

looks good, but a big flop at the box office, it seems a lot of times big budget movies flop, they later go after downloaders with copyright lawsuits.
Wikipedia says it received "mixed" reviews, which I normally take to meaning you'd need couple pints beforehand (and maybe a couple more during) :)).  But, yeah, they'll blame the pirates with their big made-up numbers and try to get even more of the internet censored >:(.

The Only Son
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0027752/

This was on Film4 last week.  It was a bit odd in places, such as when the mother and grown-up son meet, they were smiling oddly and his wife was a bit too agreeable for my liking.  But otherwise, it was really interesting.  I really felt for the characters, and their situation, and only hope a sequel will be made showing them living happy lives.  I'm not really hoping for a sequel, that was a lie.

Rating: 7/10

Hero
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0299977/

I never liked Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it was boring and highly over-rated, and it was the reason I ignored Hero when it came out.  Maybe my tastes have changed, because I liked this film a lot.  It was also on Film4 last week.  All the wire jumping action looks kind of silly, but the rest of the film makes up for it.  Maybe I'll like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon now as well, people always seemed to mention these two films together.

Rating:  6.5/10

Dog Soldiers
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280609/

Also on Film4 last week, this film was fun.  It wasn't as scary as I thought it'd be (didn't even make me jump :(), but it was fun.  These soldiers go around shooting things and have to keep at it all night.  Good stuff :D

Rating:  6.5/10


I don't eat in the cinema, it distracts me.

Now Zoidberg is the popular one!

Three Businessmen (1998)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167454/
Watched ages ago --- Scored 4/10
This time listened to the Commentary Track =
Alex Cox (Director) + (his Producer/Wife) Tod Davies
Informative and Funny = 7/10

Next (2007)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435705/
I would not normally watch old horse face
But this was 'Supposedly' based on a
Philip K richard novelette = The Golden Man
There was no Golden Man nor mention of Mutants...
Although he seemed to have the secondary ability of Cris
IE The speed + ease with which he got Liz Cooper in Bed.
Interesting plus some good action sequences.
6/10

Kevin Smith: Burn in Hell (2012)(TV)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2072141/
The first hour was OK then he got all serious + maudlin
5/10 (I gave all his other shows 8 or 9)

In Time (2011)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1637688/
Hmmm  :-\  Interesting Concept ---
But not one I could fully get my head around
Obviously it was going to turn into a
Bonnie + Clyde Spoof and I thought
the Time Cop was going to say
"I am your Father"  ;D ;D ;D
6/10


Real Steel (2011)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433035/
Soppy Father + Son Bonding Boxing Story
à la Rocky / The Champ
Ultra Predicable but Fun
8/10
