There are many flaws with this film but the most unforgiveable is that it pretty much fails completely to capture the atmosphere and creepiness of the games.
Sinister. Ok, except for the obvious fact that no man in his right mind would willingly move his family into a house like that, let alone not tell them The whole family dynamic was badly done, the development of the children was non-existent. But there were some good creepy moments in it.
Broken, British movie with Tim Roth, Cillian Murphy and headed by teen newcomer Eloise Laurence.
WTF 1/10. I needed anti-depressants afterwards.
The one out of ten is for the character development, although one character the youngest sister of one of the families 'Bully' character made me laugh alot and the movie is deadly serious.
The Impossible 9/10
Saw this last night and thought the film was fantastic and the acting from everyone, but especially Naomi Watts and Tom Holland was outstanding. I would definitely watch again.
Seven Psychopaths 8/10 - It's about a writer with writer's block, some psychopaths and a missing dog. With Colin Farrell, Woody Harrison, Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell
I really enjoyed this tongue-in-cheek movie. I would definitely recommend it!
Lawless 7/10 - A bootlegging gang during the depression and their battle with the authorities. With Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf and Guy Pierce.
This is a serious type film which is a bit slow moving at times. However overall, I found it entertaining and I would recommend it.
Silent Hill - 7/10. A rewatch in preparation for Silent Hill: Revelation (have a DVD due out next week or the week after).
My Man Godfrey - 4/10. Not as good as I remembered. Carole Lombard's character is far too ditzy for my taste. Right to the point where I wanted to throw a shoe at her.
The Grey
Basically ‘Dances With Wolves’ with me boy Liam Neeson being a total badass! Thought the ending was a little predictable and disappointing – it cuts off at a bit where Neeson is at his arse-kicking best – and that sometimes it felt like it had been made on closed sets with dodgy CGI backdrops, but those things aside I thought the rest was bloody good! A gritty survival story (that alone I liked) featuring some decently developed characters, especially Neeson’s main character. There’s numerous themes chucked in there – survival and death being two of them – and although I’m not spiritual by any means the religious motifs work well and aren’t over-baked. The soundtrack is also mighty impressive too and Liam Neeson holds the whole thing together with a great performance as always. Pretty good stuff. 8/10

yeah the ending was a bit meh but there you go (i would have put the ending in spoiler tags though)
enjoyed it throughly to be honest
Looper. Very confusing to begin with, but I gradually got more involved with the film as it progressed. One that stays with you, and I'll need to watch it again, as I think the start will make a lot more sense now I've seen the end

8/10.

Zero Dark Thirty - 9.5/10

Direct-to-video revival of a tired franchise.

OK action, but the script is 100% gibberish.
