Gigantic

Erm Okay....

(Edit) 20/07/2010

Right this film is somewhat strange. It's offbeat and weird but I liked it. However I like offbeat movies as well as mainstream and so it worked for me.

The plot line is somewhat bizarre but that doesn't make it less believable. I would recommend it.

Rachel Getting Married

Pretty Annoying

(Edit) 17/08/2010

I'd have to say that this was an annoying film. It is also the sort of film that you sit there going, I never want any of this stuff to happen at my wedding!!! So it's instructive in what not to have at a wedding. As a movie however I felt it a little forced and Anne Hathaway is out of place playing this kind of role and doesn't really convince totally. I am not exactly sure what the intentions of the film are and so you have to view it for yourself. The ending sort of satisfies but overall it's not a film I'd ever watch twice.

Gran Torino

Classic Eastwood

(Edit) 17/08/2010

This is classic angry man turns good Eastwood. He does it so well and for any Clint fans it's a must. I liked it a lot even though it's predictable in a lot of ways although the ending was unexpected. Clint doesn't pull any punches in this living on the edge man takes law into his own hands movie but it also has a lot of pathos and you empathise with the characters. There's some good moments but it's very much in the Eastwood mould and so it's definitely worth a look.

27 Dresses

Great and funny romcom

(Edit) 17/08/2010

I loved this but then I love Rom Coms. The principle heroine is very hot in my opinion and also funny. It's very cool how the story develops and although it's obvious what is going to happen in the end, in many ways that's the payback, that what you think is going to happen does actually happen. I liked it a lot and it has some very funny moments. If you like romcom then you will love this.

The Men Who Stare at Goats

Likeable Story

(Edit) 17/08/2010

This is a likeable story. It is kind of off the wall and it has some funny moments and it is well acted. If you like offbeat humour with a tinge of truth in it then this film is for you. I enjoyed it and it's worth renting.

Good Dick

This film sucks

(Edit) 19/12/2009

This film sucks. That's my verdict. It is so bad that I couldn't even watch the entire movie and ejected it from the machine after 10 minutes. Don't waste your time or your money on it. You will be disappointed!!

Nights in Rodanthe

Nice rom com but with happy/sad ending

(Edit) 24/01/2010
Spoiler Alert

I liked this film a lot, in spite of Richard Gere's bizarre hair style it was nevertheless an excellent movie. It isn't a big plot or particularly stylish though the photography is great and the views of Rodanthe are pretty amazing, makes one want to visit it. I'll admit that the film made me cry at the end and so it has quite an emotional twist which anyone could relate too. I am a sucker for romantic films and this does the whole romance thing very well without being over the top. Overall if you like romantic comedies then watch this one but be prepared for a few tears at the end.

The Burning Plain

A nicely put together film

(Edit) 19/12/2009

I liked this film although I was dubious about renting it. It turns out to be well made and enjoyable, the twist is good as is the ending. It shows things from a childs point of view and I liked the way it was scripted, shot and acted. Overall I would recommend it.
