ok, well I do recommend it, but with reservations. if you read some IMDB reviews, they tell the story with full spoilers, I don't want to go there. but if you are into way off the deep end like...Thundercrack ? or early John Waters...? small warning for moments of XXX. truly an amazing movie but most people I think would walk out in the first 15 minuets or so. it was so foul I don't think I could even talk about it to most people I know.

paranormal activity - 9/10. Outstanding horror movie. Very claustrophobic...the tension is unbearable. Scared me $hitless.

Paper Heart 7/10
It's a sort of fiction/nonfiction docu-story of a girl trying to find out about love. She, Charlyne Yi, is very endearing but the film also features Michael Cera, who I have never really liked, and the scenes with the two together felt very awkward. The interviews with real people were very interesting.

Stargate 7/10
In the middle of Paper Heart I suddenly got the urge to watch Stargate which I saw as a child in the cinema and once since then on TV but not for years. I definately recommend it for a first-time watch but I'd suggest to anyone tempted to see it again, fifteen years on, they should re-watch director Roland Emmerich's Independence Day instead. That really does hold up to repeat viewings thanks to its more charismatic leads, and its greater scope. I shall enjoy watching it again before going to see 2012, also Emmerich, on Imax. (Incidentally Stargate does feature some unusually impressive production design.)

I haven't been scared in the cinema for ages. Looking forward to seeing, and hopefully being scared by, both this and The Fourth Kind.

Doubt 8/10

Really liked the inter action between the main characters.

People in the theater were screaming and jumping out of their seats. Yup, Fourth Kind looked good in previews. Have fun if you go!

In Her Shoes 5/10
I have quite a high tolerance of a lot of female-targeted romcoms - I actually like a few and have watched them multiple times - but this one's nasty. It's really, really boring mostly because the characters are neither identifiable or likeable. Two sisters - Toni Colette and Cameron Diaz, both very shallow, vapid women - fall out then make friends again with the help of their equally unpleasant long-lost grandmother (Shirley MacLaine). Half of this film is set in a retirement community - just as tedious as you'd imagine - and the third act drags worse than anything I've seen ages. If a 'comedy' film lasts for more than two hours (as this one does) it better have a damn good reason to - this one doesn't. The extra time's used to explain all sorts of secrets and cover-ups that happened in the history of the awful family. The whole story is so trite and uninteresting that it seems absurd to expect an audience to sit through any more than about an hour and twenty minutes. This lasts for TWO HOURS and ten minutes. In that time I could have watched something really good, like the Lion King, AND and had something to eat.

Office Space 7/10
This is 10 years old now but didn't seem as dated as I was expecting. Pretty broad, easy-going comedy which I can neither find serious fault with nor get really enthusiastic about.

Salem

The Secret life of Bee's 8/10

Very good. Nice story, goodcharacters, I love Queen Latifa and Dakota Fanning, and I'm really starting to like Jennifer Hudson. Read the book before hand and fell in love with it, and I wasn't actually dissapointed with the movie. It incorporated the things I wasn't sure if it would and I thought they did very well.

The Hangover 10/10

Every movie lately claims to be the "Funniest movie of the year". Superbad was stupid, so were most of the others. But, I actually thought The Hangover WAS the funniest movie of the year. I laughed my ass right off, many many times. Worth a watch for anyone who drinks, likes stupid comedy, like comedy, doesnt want a big romance story, just wants to laugh. Great plot, good solid characters, very funny.

Tekkonkinkreet: Black & White - 8.5/10 - great story line and characters ... left a few loose ends, but nothing you wouldn't have fun tying up yourself.

2012 went on for a bit too long and its ending disappointed me dreadfully but was spectacular, funny and had the appeal of some pretty respectable actors saying some of the most clanging lines and overearnest speeches you could ever hope to hear.... 6/10 (a full review here 2012 (2009/I) - IMDb user comments)

Wedding Crashers I didn't see from the very beginning but didn't feel I needed to. A one-note performance by the eternally dislikeable Vince Vaughn and another by Owen Wilson - whose charming nature I can get along with a whole lot easier than I can Vaughn's sarcasm. This is really basic, lowbrow, dull-minded stuff along the lines of Meet the Parents. I watched it mostly because of Rachel McAdams; she's wasted here. The best thing about it was her evil fiance, Bradley Cooper (more recently seen in The Hangover).... 5/10

Harry Brown is a new British crime/vigilante thriller starring Michael Caine. I went to watch it because of him, and because it had got a surprisingly high 8.1/10 rating on the IMDB. It isn't that good - the story is terribly hackneyed and feels like a hundred old TV dramas - but it does have some fairly tense moments and lurid thrills. Aside from the film's merits or failings, however, it's a shame Sir Michael seems to buy into the bullshit and it's ALWAYS a shame, in my opinion, to have a film endorsing vigilatism as wholeheartedly as this one does.... 6/10

A perfect getaway 7-10 (9-10 for Milla), district 9 9 - 10 awesome sci-fi.
