You don't need 3d glasses to watch it or enhance it. You don't need to watch it on imax.
It has a story and contains acting! It's strong on characters.
It's in most cinemas at present.
Tower of Evil - British horror film from 1972, which I hadn't seen since about 1984. A sort of Scooby Doo adventure for adults with plenty of gore and nudity, but no dog. I enjoyed it!
Entertaining in spurts (I guess) but far too long and actually dull too. Tonto is basically Jack Sparrow in war paint - highlighting his limitations as an actor - the production design is good but only near the climax do we get some proper matinee style high-jinks. There's a scene which pays tribute to The Good the Bad and the Ugly.
The whitehouse gets taken over and the president gets taken hostage by korean terrorists. It's very bloody, death-heavy and filled with suspense. And I thought it was very good! Gerard Butler's best film yet. And i say that as someone who hasn't really liked any films he's been in before. And Morgan Freeman is just amazing as usual. The blurb says "Die Hard at the Whitehouse", I think it's better than Die Hard!
The only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is because as much as I like bloody, violent action packed films, I did find some of the violence went over the top. You get the point, but the camera just lingers on for a few extra second to drive the point home...
I actually found it hilarious and was laughing out loud the whole way through. But I just can't give it more than 5/10 because fundamentally... It is a load of shit.
Ok Richard Hannay. (Robert Powell) is an innocent man on the run. That's fine, but he gets another innocent man who was only trying to help him killed, and takes his fiance! Apart from that i still enjoyed it:)

I loved it BB. I am a huge Hasselhoff fan and just loved him taking the mickey out of himself. Fantastic guy in real life too!
One of the best superhero films to come out in years - but it's not perfect. It slows down quite a bit at the halfway mark. The playful banter between the characters are fun to watch and listen to. Excellent film.
Friends with Benefits which was on tv last night. I thought it was a really enjoyable Rom com, the two leads bounced off each other well and made it one if the better Rom com's I've seen in recent years. 8/10
Just watched this this afternoon and have to agree. Definitely better that i thought it was going to be.
Trust - Truly harrowing story of a 14 year old girl who is groomed online then raped by a 35 year old serial sex predator and the effect it has on not only her but her family. A remarkable piece of film making from David Schwimmer (yes honestly) and some outstanding performances.
Not an easy watch (i was in bits) but one i'd definitely recommend. 9/10
The Sword in the Stone [1963]. Director: Wolfgang Reitherman
6/10
For a 79 minute film this Disney effort drags a bit
***********
Vic + Flo saw a Bear [2013]. Director: Denis Côté
6/10
Typically quirky arthouse drama which won the Silver Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival (maybe they were impressed that it had the word "bear" in the title).
***********
The Witches [1966]. Director: Cyril Frankel
5/10
Middle period Hammer Horror has a schoolteacher discovering Witchcraft in an English village. "Blood on Satan's Claw" did it so much better 5 years later.

Cool. To be honest I loved it too. I just didn't realise it was a spoof before watching it. I don't know whether that was a good surprise or a bad one.

Looked promising from the first 20 minutes, but then quite quickly became quite boring.

Shun Li And The Poet (Io sono Li) (2011) 8/10
Cool. To be honest I loved it too. I just didn't realise it was a spoof before watching it. I don't know whether that was a good surprise or a bad one.
Irish comedy, Sci-fi horror. Not good at all.
The Prophecy - 5/10
Christopher Walken as a killer angel grom the Director of Highlander. It just felt like I was watching highlander.
Absolutely loved it. Easily my favourite film of the year so far.
