3.9 out of five for Alice In Wonderland
A bit scattered, but a fun and quirky revisiting of my favourite story.
-
2.9 out of five for The Crazies
Great concept but a bit all over the place. Didn't really meet up to the trailer-lead expectations.
-
2.0 out of five for The Wolfman
Predictable run-of-the-mill action horror. Daft OTT attack scenes and silly looking werewolves.
-
2.9 out of five for A Single Man
Some pretty scenes, but mostly dull and uneventful. Actors all great, regardless.
-
3.5 out of five for The Road
Pretty brutal at times. Credible, bleak, scenery and style. Liked it.
-
3.0 out of five for Daybreakers
Entertaining, and OK concept. Would have benefited from more subtlety and less gimmicky exploding bodies.
-
3.2 out of five for Thirst
Unique and reasonably unique vampire flick. Needed some focus.
-
2.4 out of five for Unmade Beds
Empty vessel of a film let down by the writing. Just didn't care about the characters.
-
3.8 out of five for Fish Tank
Good example of a gritty, if slightly predictable, British council estate story.
-
3.0 out of five for Sherlock Holmes
Emtertaining and not as bad as expected. Obvious setup for SH 2
-
3.5 out of five for Avatar
Storyline is pretty straight-forward & the 3D is again a disappointment. Visually stunning though so still worth seeing.
-
4.3 out of five for Where The Wild Things Are
Wonderfully shot and love the style. Not a ton of story, but still very engaging.
-
2.0 out of five for Paranormal Activity
A lesson in ignoring hype. Build up & filler for 1 decent scene. Acting pretty terrible, too.
-
4.5 out of five for A Serious Man
Really good. No big names, but excellent slightly dark and cynical story that also manages to make you laugh.
-
3.0 out of five for Coco Avant Chanel
Lovely performance from Tautou as always, but the screen-play lacked and nothing really happens.
-
2.8 out of five for Cold Souls
Original concept, but didn't really deliver.
-
2.9 out of five for The Men Who Stare At Goats
Hilarious and interesting source material, but just not well used or pieced together. Clooney is good.
-
4.0 out of five for An Education
As promised, Carey Mulligan shines and it's worth going to see her alone. A really well told simple story.
-
3.0 out of five for 9
Original style and a good concept, but unfortunately the lack of depth in charas and story left me a bit disappointed.
-
3.8 out of five for Fantastic Mr Fox
The style grows on you and I can't wait to hear a small child say "cluster cuss". Plot a bit too meandering.
