Transcendence, Solid 8/10, one of the better sci-fi flicks I've seen in a while.

Gallow Walkers 2/10 and that was only for the cute prostitute/demon chicks ample bust (one point each side). I sought this movie out after seeing a trailer - turns out the 4 minutes of trailer were the best parts in the 90 min movie

Django - solid action/blood fest shoot-em-up western movie. Good 9/10 for that type of movie.

Revisited the Bourne movies recently - excellent stuff and despite some of the technology now dating (computers, phones etc) it is good solid stuff.

And the Transporter series - good action stuff if somewhat over the top! That's what makes the Bourne movies so solid - no gimmicks, solid realistic gritty action.

evil dead. epic for the time, and a lot of clever camerawork that is copied still.
Excellent if youre in to that kind of thing.

Cloudy with meatballs 2. Gay. First was good. Sequel killed it.

Just watched Noah. Cobblers. Might be a hang over from the recent weather, though. Good cast who just seem to be going through the motions & Russell Crowe stomps everywhere. Annoying.

A remake of an Asian film about patience and vengeance. Guy imprisoned for something he is not aware of. During which time he turns into an unbelievable street-brawling fighting machine. Thought the movie was about this guy going around hurting people because he was pissed off - but then...

Acting: 7/10, Storyline: 9/10, Action: 7/10, Violence: 7/10, Water Works Female: 0/10, Water Works Male: 0/10 , Favorite scene: The last 10 minutes, Dumb scene: the movie was "believable" until the fight scenes.

One word summary: Dumplings.

Oldboy was crackup. If you liked that watch one called 13 Sins

New Purge movie is also out at the end of the month. Looking seriously good, might pay to go see this one...

Transformers 4. Funny in bits, but mainly Tucci's character. More of the same. Don't bother with the big screen, wait for VHS if you really have to. Be prepared to fall asleep. 5/10.

That's a shame - as the original Korean one was great. Right up until the point when (*spoiler*) everyone realized he has been banging the shit out of his own, hot, daughter.

I guess Asians do it better.

Agree 100%.

Just watched Blood Ties with Clive Owen. Thought it was great.
