Gravity 6.5/10 - I watched this on the TV. This probably is more impressive on a big IMAX screen but it's OK. I wouldn't watch it again though.
And the physics is a bit off a couple of times so I would recommend not watching it if things like this annoys you
Fallen 6/10 - Good premise but I think this would have been much better if they had aimed the storyline more towards adults. IMHO, one of the characters couldn't act either - so I found this rather annoying.
It's entertaining enough to watch on a Sunday afternoon if you have kids though. (On Netflix).
The Incredible Hulk - 7/10 - Edward Norton makes a fine choice of lead, another solid Marvel Avengers film.
The Sweetest Thing - 5/10 - entertaining, puerile with a couple of really funny comedy moments.
Vanilla Sky - 8/10- Superb at times, a bleak well scripted and acted effort with some unexpected twists.
20 Feet from Stardom 2013
Winner best documentary at recent Oscars.
Follows story of backing singers through the last few decades, their hopes, brush with fame, but failure to capitalsie.
It was really good, quite poignant. 7/10

Dave Grohl revisits the famous recording studio of Nirvanas Nevermind Album.
Thoroughly interesting for any music lover. I knew so little of the legacy of this great studio. Highly recommended. 7/10
The Godfather Part II. So multi-layered and the attention to detail is incredible not to mention the performances. No idea how many times I've seen this but each time I do, I pick up on something new. Yeah, it's a masterpiece and 10/10 doesn't do it justice really.
I liked it. This film got some really bad reviews and was in and out of theaters faster than you can count to 5. No one that I know of has seen it. But I finally had a chance to watch it, not expecting much at all, and enjoyed it. On the plus side: nice visuals and Jeff Bridges is great in it. And there's an interesting story too. Downside: it's very short and you can tell that a lot of the film was left on the cutting room floor during editing. It's clear that R.I.P.D. was originally a much larger film. I don't know the full story but Jeff Bridges is on record saying the movie he filmed and the movie that was released are completely different - something he wasn't happy about. But until someone makes a proper R.I.P.D. film, this one isn't bad at all.

Not too long either.
I'd say it's worth a watch if you don't take your films too seriously.
Agree with the ten there-absolutely brilliant film and one of those "must sees" imo.
Quite sweet but sad, fabulous shots of London by night, really enjoyed it.

I'd been wanting to see it for a while so I was pleased when they showed it.

Completely OTT & daft at times, but doesn't take itself seriously at all & that's what Machete should be about.
Fando Y Lis (1968) 4/10
Not often I say this about a sequel but have to say that in places it is funnier than the first. 10/10
I love this film.
