Wrath of the Titans - 6.5 ish / 10 I'm still not sure if I enjoyed this or not. It seemed to have the quest credentials of a classic Sinbad type movie but there's something dry about the CGI monsters instead of Ray Harryhausen skellingtons somehow. Then it seemed to be a lot of big set piece noisy battles. It didn't really hold my interest.
Savages - 6/10. Despite a couple of big names and a promise of violence and action is was a bit slow and I never really cared whether the 3 main protagonists died or not. Hayek's fringe was appalling.
The Edge of Darkness - 6.5/10 - Political thriller with Mel Gibson demonstrating grief by walking about in a trench coat and not swinging his arms. Ray Winstone's sinister English fixer didn't require him to break sweat to be the highlight of the movie.
Snow White and the Huntsman - 6.5/10 I'd have probably quite enjoyed it for £2 from my local video shop in 1983 when I was enjoying a sword and sandals phase.

Indeed. Dir. Martin Campbell directed the original TV series on which this was based - truly great, landmark telly etc.
The Sweeney 2/10
So all the Flying Squad ever did was beat people to a pulp whilst calling them a slag - is that police work!. 30 years out of date and a theme tune thats just a horrible noise.
On the plus side some of the night shots of london were beautiful.
I'll be picking the film tonight me thinks:)
Love the origional Sweeney films paticular the brilliant 2nd one but this is terrible !
Man of Steel, so much better than I expected, been avoiding this until I ran out of stuff to watch, as I am not a big Superman fan, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Far more so than World War Z and Pacific Rim, which I had been looking forward to so much. 8/10
World War Z, crappy ending, setting up for a sequel, some nice set pieces but lacking overall. 7/10
Pacific Rim, disappointing but funny in places 5/10

Best film I've seen this year, incredibly heart warming, I didn't want it to end, utterly charming.
8/10
Very disturbing, very unsettling.
Formularic predictable, bit silly and full of plotholes and continuity issues.

not bad for a quid, and was Australian with the guy from Wolf Creek who played Ben Mitchell ..( (Australian films are quite good )
Looked gorgeous, acted so well, but just lacking something and I'm not sure what.
