This film was extremely disappointing. I loved "Shaun of the Dead". I enjoyed "Hot Fuzz". So naturally I thought this film was going to be as good as those. Instead we got a badly thought out idea turned into a very bland film. There are some laughs but not enough to save it.

Awful sci-fi, about a team of astronauts who stumble upon some bacteria on Mars that, wait for it, turns them into zombies!!!! Utterly naff.
2/10
The Place Beyond The Pines
Really enjoyable drama set in 3 parts. The final act dragged slightly and lost momentum but overall a mostly engrossing experience with some neat twists & turns.
perks of being a wallflower my god not what i was expecting. wow was i wrong it was really harsh to watch really engossing dont be put off by the cutsey title its a very good film
Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn - 7/10
I'm not keen on animated films, but it's Tintin! I hadn't seen this type of animation before and it was creepy as ****. At times, it seemed as if there were real actors wearing cartoon-like masks. Took me a while to get used to it. In spite of that, I found the film surprisingly entertaining and rather fun.
The Gleaners and I - The stuff about gleaning is interesting and it has a lot of good stuff to say about wastage and charity but Varda's own interjections are at best distracting and worst pretty irritating. 6/10
Philadelphia - love it. It never feels syrupy or sentimental and I don't think Hanks has been better. Denzel's great too. 8/10
Conan the Barbarian [2011]. Director: Marcus Nispel
7/10
Lacks the mythic qualities of the John Milius 1982 film but Jason "Khal Drogo" Momoa is far more convincing in the title role than that Austrian bodybuilder. Unfortunately this film flopped so Arnie is supposedly back in the next film in the franchise.
Direct-to-video WW2 movie. "No B-17s were harmed in the making of this picture" as they were all CGI. The swearing and boozing seem very 21st Century but the combat scenes work well enough on a limited budget.
Deception (2000) with Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron, James Frain and Gary Sinise.
Enjoyable if highly implausible movie. Affleck isn't really tough enough for this kind of role. Theron surprisingly good. Sinise excellent as a vile sadist. Frain excellent too but doesn't have enough screen time. 8/10.

Thank you! I HAVE been put off by the cutesy title so I will look out for that one
I'm going to see GRAVITY tonight and have deliberately not read reviews as I like to go in with no expectations! lol
This is a fun action film and man was I surprised about that. I never heard of it (somehow I missed the trailers) but when I saw who was in it I had to watch. Smart move. Like I had said, it was a fun film and the two lead actors, Denzel Washington & Mark Wahlberg, have terrific chemistry together. They're clearly having fun onscreen and I do hope that they do a sequel.

Surprisingly dull and forgettable. There's more life in Into Great Silence than this, for god's sake.
Rollerball (2002) - 2/10
This is what 'lolwut' was invented for.
Death Race (2008) - 4/10
Note to self: do not watch any more remakes for at least a month.
Please be good to me tomorrow, Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn (2011), Homicide (1991) and Control (2007).
Great cast of cameos from a few funny men.
I can't believe I haven't watched this before now.
8/10.

Have this one to watch some time.

Very very darkly funny.
American History X - 7/10
I understand that it is probably a pretty good film, but it is completely devoid of any humour whatsoever that its hard to watch tbh.
Gravity - 10/10
It was brilliant, actually brilliant. It looked and sounded incredible (in 3D)
