2007

Just what you want from a blockbuster film. Great action all the way, amazing SFX and a fair share of humour to. The effects are just breathtaking, not felt like that since I watched The Matrix! It has a very simple storyline and as a fan of the toys, animated movie it would have been nice to see more of the other Transformers characters. Overall though it's a brill blockbuster that will thoroughly entertain you!!

A great, stand out action film that delivers all the good stuff from the other Die Hard films....and even a few ideas from some other top action films.
We get a cool relevant story for the present day about hackers getting in to control just about everything in the country, lots of great action scenes not overly reliant on CGI, great fights and some humour as well of course. John McClane is definitely one hard to kill guy, kicking bad guy ass just as well as ever. This is all out action you can't fail to like!!

This is a very cool, very good thriller. It's a bit like a modern day remake of Rear Window but with plenty of comic moments as well that it is also a bit like The 'Burbs, The girl next door. Overall a very enjoyable thriller and the pace really picks up towards the end with a few good "red herrings" along the way!

A great movie with some fine actors especially Javier Bardem who I have not seen in anything before. He has a certain screen presence and voice that is perfect for this role. A simple plot about a man on the run after finding two million dollars at a drug deal gone bad in the desert, only problem is the ultimate bad ass killer really wants it back! For me this felt like a modern day western which is very intense and well directed. It does have some strange moments and throws up questions about violence, bad people and bad times along the way. I just thought the ending could have been better. However it is well worth a lot of the praise it has got so far.

Personally I thought this was excellent! Heard little about it before seeing it, but once I heard it is based on a Stephen King story I had to check it out. It certainly is typical Stephen King stuff, weird and wonderful. A mix of Cloverfield and the Fog. If you haven't seen it go check it out!

This is a brilliant if simple thriller/horror film! I was surprised I liked it so much, favours well compared to the original and much better than The Hitcher 2 which no doubt passed many by, just as well. This is very similar to the original with the general plot and "key" scenes still in it. Sophia Bush is great in this and Sean Bean does make a a good viillain. Very violent and bloody to go with it! If you thought this would be a poor comparison to the cult original then I suggest you check it out.

At last a great Vampire horror film!! It's been a long time coming. I love the Blade and Underworld films but they definitely fit more into the action genre. This is bloody and gory in places, has plenty of tension and a good story about a town under siege for 30 days. The photography is great and vampires look original. Overall it has something for everyone especially those who love a good horror, vampire film!

A great all out action film. Totally over the top action and violence in this rather slick, stylish film. It's a mix of Sin City, Kill Bill, Smokin' Aces and a hint of Pulp Fiction to. So if you like any of those, you'll get a blast from this and know what to expect!

A very good western by todays standards and better than a few I have seen recently. Much more like an old school western like The outlaw Josey Wales. Good performances all round and plenty of action along the way.

A great entertaining film, with plenty of action and a very impressive visual style similar to Sin City. Although the fights are great, very violent the use of CGI blood effects gave it quite a comic book feel and help tone the gore side down a bit. The story is very simple and to the point, not a deep film it is all about the battles and the visuals. Great if you liked Troy, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven but some viewers might want a bit more story to break up all the action. However it's definitely worth experiencing!

This is a very good film, well made with some great actors. Recommended by a friend and glad I saw it. It has a political edge to it about terrorism and links between the West and Middle East because of oil. There are some great action scenes and the final shootout is very well directed. Go see it!

A great film about a top businessman who has a dark secret, he is addicted to killing people! Definitely not the normal run of the mill serial killer film. The acting is great and the story is very good with some new ideas on the theme. Overall not the usual cat and mouse thriller but a very good film!

Plenty of action and amazing SFX,taken to a new level. Has it's slow periods and links more with the first than the second. Sometimes the action can be a bit too frantic to appreciate it all. However still a top quality movie.

I thought this was a very good film and a great remake. It's not entirely scene for scene like some and gives a lot more time to Michael as a young boy and reasons for him to turn evil. Rather than just a madman on the run from the asylum. Although some key scenes are kept and a few are changed slightly for the update, why change what worked so well in the original. Some people will just rate down remakes just for the sake of it, but seriously Halloween might have been scary if you saw it in your teens but today? This builds on what was a great horror classic and adds a few touches, more of a back story, a bit more violent and sexed up a little for today's audience. Whether you have seen the original or not you should check this out.

A great little Spanish horror film that has a realism about it you just don't get in many horror films. This did so well the Western remake was done just a few months later and also got good reviews (Quarantine). Very short at 70mins but brutal and shocking after a slow opening. Filmed from the point of view of a local TV camera man, like Blairwitch and Cloverfield, making a documentary about the local fire service. They go out on a call to a local apartment block, beginning a series of shocking events.

Surprised at some of the reviews I have seen for this? I thought this was a very good thriller with a very good twist, for once that you can't see coming right from the start of the film. Maybe it's a bit slow to start with but has one of the best endings for a thriller I've seen in recent years! Go check it out!!

A great action film with a good plot, lots of shooting, explosions that keeps a fast adrenalin pumping pace throughout. It's a little predictable and Danny Glover talks like he is wearing a gum shield for some reason!? Overall though I thought it is very similar and just as good as The Bourne Identity. So if you like that check this out!!

A very good film that is closer to the first one than the sequel, which is a good thing! A very olaborate heist plan again as they look to take revenge on a new Casino boss in Las Vegas. Good fun but doesn't quite have the Razmatazz of the first!

More of the same from the second film really. Has its moments but didn't find as funny as the other 2 films. Still has some great special effects and action scenes...but just felt something was missing this time?

A very good horror with plenty of suspense and a few twists. It has a very menacing atmosphere throughout whilst not being too gory. Simple idea very well done!

A brilliant little horror film , but I expect no less when it is based on a Stephen King story. A real unique horror film that will mess with your head. Go see it!!

A very good film, if slightly drawn out, that follows the story of the Zodiac killer of the 70's around San Francisco. The fact it is all based on true events and evidence will hook you in even more. It can be a bit slow but you you like cat and mouse thrillers you should like this.

A great film with great actors and well directed. I watched the extended edition and it flew by for me despite being close to 3 hours long. It's not as violent or graphic as the likes of Casino, Goodfellas but it is as equally as immersing as those gangster films. The fact it is based on a true story makes it even more interesting. If you like gangster or mafia films you'll love this!

A very good thriller/horror film, better than I expected. It's almost a mix of Amityville horror and the Grudge! Good effects and a good story make this an enjoyable film with a few jumps along the way!

A very well animated film, with lovable characters and a good story! Go see it!!

I didn't think I would like this as much as I did. Has some very funny scenes and great slapstick humour. It's a kinda mix of Old School meets the Magnificent seven!! Very well cast as well, great fun.

A very funny film sending up the buddy action films. Totally over the top with some great scenes and the shoot-out is great, wasn't expecting some of the more gorey scenes though. I liked this more than Shaun of the Dead. Great cameos from some fine English acting talent.

This is a very good horror film that keeps in the tradition of the other Saw films. For me this is probably the 2nd best of the first four films after the 1st. There is a lot more explanation into why Jigsaw had become what he was. This installment also reveals new plot lines linking the other films. It may be confusing for some, might be worth watching Saw 3 again shortly before watching this. This is due to quite a few flashbacks to the other films, characters and the fact that in the timeline of events most of this film overlaps with the 3rd film. Very gory in places as you expect but a better storyline than the last two films.

A great legal thriller with a strong performance from Anthony Hopkins, very sinister. Although I did realise how he did it straight away, but it has a good twist at the end to. Might be a bit slow in places for some.

More of the same in this big budget sequel. Most of the original cast return for the 2nd outing. This time they set out looking for the lost city of gold. The action takes place over America, to Paris and London as well. If you liked the first or treasure hunt films you'll love this. There may well be a 3rd?

I wasn't expecting much from this. I hadn't heard an awful lot about it considering it was made a few years ago. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It's a very emotional revenge, vigilante type film. Great lead actors, and a touching, thought provoking story. Well worth seeing if you haven't already!

This is a very good revenge action film from the director of Saw, spot the Jigsaw face! The story as with a lot of these films is a bit over the top. Kevin Bacon starts as a calm mild mannered white collar worker who suddenly changes into a raw hate filled father after the death of his son. Pretty handy with a range of guns all of a sudden as well. Apart from that the film is great and has plenty of decent action scenes and some great performances from the two lead characters.

I didn't know much about this film before I saw it but heard critics and fans a like giving great reviews about it. A father and former part of the military police goes in search of his son who has gone AWOL after returning home from Iraq.
This is a great film, with a very good cast giving great performances especially Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron. It touches on quite a few political views about the army and war in Iraq and the effects it can have. A truly moving film based on true events.

A great Spanish ghost story/thriller which I'm sure said it was directed by Guiilermo Del Toro? I saw the trailer and had to see this. It's very creepy at times, largely due to the spooky location. It's a very good story well told and directed. Reminded me of The Others, The 6th sense most of all, so if you like those you'll love this.

This is very similar to A Histroy of Violence with the same director (David Cronenberg) and Viggo Mortensen teaming up again. It is just as violent and possibly more bloody and graphic. The acting is of a very good standard and although it is a bit slow at times you are likely to be engrossed in the story too much to notice.
A midwife delivers the child of a young Russian girl who dies at birth. Trying to trace her relatives she gets her Russian uncle to translate her diary which only uncovers a look into the life of the Russian mafia in London. If you liked A History of Violence, The Godfather you should really like this film.

A very well animated film with a great level of detail and the characters look like the voice actors. A good if simple story, but quite violent. Not for youngsters!

A pretty decent comedy with more than a fair share of laughs. A real mix of sex/romantic comedies that it is like most rom-coms and predictable but also similar to the likes of American Pie in many ways. Overall quite funny at times and enjoyable enough to watch if you like these styles of comedy films.

More of the same as the first 2 films but this time ending up in Paris for the finale. Although the franchise is starting to get a little old now, the first had a good story the 2nd is my fave for the action and comedy and this is more like the second film. Just getting a bit predictable now, but still good fun!

A very good thriller with Jim Carrey doing very well in a non-comic role for a change! If you like Stir of Echoes, Secret Window you should like this to!

A very good, funny and witty coming of age comedy as a young girl comes to terms with falling pregnant. It has some sharp dialogue and Ellen Page is good as the smart ass kid that always has a sarcastic remark at the ready. You'll like it depending on your sense of humour but it has a good strong cast too.

Well this is much better than I expected. After the rather disappointing first AVP this has a lot more action in it. It reminded me a lot of the Aliens film in the second half of the movie and some scenes were very similar whether that was deliberate or not is hard to say. It's good to see continuation from the earlier Predator and Alien films as well in this, such as the weapons and behaviour seen in those films help link it to both franchises. Overall a good action/horror that is better than the first by a long way. Oh for those complaining the film is too dark, adjust the brightness!

A very good sequel to the first film. Just as bloody and violent as the first, maybe more so! There is plenty of action and it never really lets up. The way it is filmed especially the first attack in the house is raw and gritty and makes you feel you are there fighting for survival to! However the plot is a bit similar to most zombie films and obvious at times. The geography of London has changed a fair bit to taking minutes to get from east to central London if only! lol Overall a great thrill ride with plenty of action and memorable scenes, but you know what to expect by now.

A very good enjoyable film. A good mix of action, humour and loads of well known faces. Good fun film!

A very good action film, doesn't link up to well with the end of the second film though, but a good end to the trilogy!

A good film some may find hard to follow, due to different timelines. However it makes for a pretty good thriller and although it didn't end as expected, it probably made the film better for being different.
I thought Sandra Bullock was great in this and having watched Miss Congeniality 2 a few days before, it just goes to show she can do comedy, action or drama equally well!

A quality film with one or two twists. Also featuring the most over the top assassins possible!

This is a very good film, quite violent and gritty with a strong cast. Fed up with the soft treatment of criminals and thugs in England, a group forms to administer their own justice. A very relevant subject at the present time as a gang culture seems to be on the rise in England. Although the films deals with getting back at those directly linked to the characters in the film, rather than random people. Everyone will have a view on this. Maybe it could have been done slightly better, they storyline wavers a little in the middle. However it will provoke a reaction from everyone.

A pretty good film, a sort of space disaster/thriller film as a crew set off for the Sun to drop a nuclear payload to kickstart it back to life and get Earth out of an Ice age. They are the 2nd team to set off, will they make it or suffer the fate off the 1st missing crew?
It has some good acting and SFX, the sets for the spaceship look very impressive and show some good ideas about the future of space travel. It's a bit slow to start but it makes up for this as things get more dramatic towards the end. Better than I expected it to be.

A very good film based on true events, as a group of young wannabe gangsters take things too far. A great performance from all of the young assembled cast. A lot better than you would expect from such young actors. Well worth checking out.

A top quality film, technically excellent in terms of production, cinematography, the score and a decent cast of actors. I'm not overly keen on dramas and at times this does feel a bit slow. However the ending was a real surprise and made it a classic tale of love, or be it a sad one.

Very similar to the prisoner of Azkaban film. Very dark and brooding. Very good SFX as always but not as much action as I was expecting. Good to see some new characters though, but was hoping for more.

This is a pretty good action film featuring an assassin who seems to be playing off the Triads and Yukuza against each other. There is plenty of action, car chase, shootouts, sword fights and quite brutal to. Maybe some of the fight scenes could have been a bit better or more of them but overall this is a quality film worth checking out.

A very good film, although I had hoped for something a little bit more after the trailer. It's more of an action/drama dealing with the drug trade in the slums of Rio in Brazil. It has a good story and is well made and shot with a fair share of brutal, violent action scenes. Almost feels like a documentary at times it has that raw feel about it. From the same director as the City of God.

A very good stylish horror/thriller with neat special effects. Quite interesting especially as things build up towards the end.

A very decent action film with cool special effects. Good for a nights entertainment without being great in anyway. Slightly disappointing ending I felt, but overall good fun!

This is a decent comedy, with good actors with some funny dialogue and scenarios. A little long but it goes fairly quick. I was worried it would be a bit too lewd, crass and just not funny. However it's above the average teen comedy threshold. It should have something for everyone to laugh at. The main pairing of Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen are growing on me after seeing a few of their films now!

Completely silly and over the top sex comedy. It seems each new entry tries to out do the last with more sex, nudity and gross-out humour. After an ok 3rd, weak 4th (Band Camp) the series is picking up again with the main characters from Naked mile in this. Based around the Stifler cousins at University and set 3 months after the last film, at least there is a bit of continuity again. Definitely a guy flick with wild parties, pranks, tons of hot girls and more breasts than a plastic surgeons catalogue! If you liked the first 2 and Naked mile more than the others you will like this, the 7th is already out to!

A very good western by todays standards and better than a few I have seen recently. Much more like an old school western like The outlaw Josey Wales. Good performances all round and plenty of action along the way.

This is an enjoyable action film with plenty of cool action sequences, shoot-outs and chases. It's based on the series of popular video games and stays quite true to parts of the games. The way the missions are relayed, location, suit, outfit changes and even some of the tactics used in the game are shown in the film. So this should keep the games fans happy. For everyone else this is just a cool stylized action film, which reminded me of the Transporter films quite a bit.

Maybe not captivating but this film is far better than many critics and reviewers would have you believe! Especially those who rave on about Hostel and its great "twist"? Pretty sure there have been similar films, stories like that around for ages. As for the twist there isn't one, as it is so obvious what was going to happen!
Captivity is hardly original either, the whole idea of being kidnapped and waking up not knowing where you are and being tormented has been done in Saw, House of 9 and way back by Cube. You kinda guess this tries to jump on the bandwagon phrase of the year "torture porn" only with a tiny amount of torture compared to Hostel and no porn.
It does have a slight twist, again too obvious if you have seen this type of film before, but it is still quite a good film, decent horror overall. Nothing groundbreaking but not a bad 85mins either. So if you like Hostel, Saw, House of 9 or Vacancy you should enjoy this to.

A very average comic book action film, although the SFX are very good.

I heard this was better than the first but to be honest the first is probably a better alround film and more fun. This is ok but more of the same really nothing new. I was hoping for more!

A good film with some great special effects and a great cast. Maybe a bit more child orientated than some others films of this type that have come out recently. Similar to The Chronicles of Narnia. If you like a good fantasy film you'll enjoy this, just hope the next part is a bit better.

Wow I must have missed something as I thought this was borderline ok, nothing special at all. Seeing all the 4*+ ratings and comparing it to American Pie has shocked me! The cops were the funniest thing about the film the rest was all very predictable as a bunch of nerds try to get some booze for a party so they can get a girl. Ok for a watch but far from a classic comedy for me.

A pretty funny comedy as 2 New York firemen pretend to be gay for pension benefits. It has a strong cast and some quite funny scenes. One of the better more recent comedies made and starring the beautiful Jessica Biel!

A well made film with great locations, that explains a little about how Hannibal became to be what he is in The silence of the lambs. However I feel a lot is still unexplained and wouldn't be surprised if a further film takes us right up to date with his story, to the point of him being in prison at the start of The silence of the lambs. Still better than Hannibal though.

Just as good as the first pretty much, if maybe not quite as tense or shocking. Very gory and violent, just like the first and similar to the hills have eyes. If you can handle the gore and are a horror fan you'll enjoy this.

There are a lot of mixed reviews for this. Some saying it is better than the first, a slight majority disagreeing. It is still very bloody, gorey and has a bit of torture in it but to a lesser extent of the first. In that respect it is similar to the first but this time with three girls. I'm glad this does follow on from the first and is the same Hostel. At first I thought this might be set in a totally different place to the first. The only real problem is after the first it's all a bit predictable, especially who will be killed etc. It doesn't quite have that raw edge of the first that made it a bit more believable. Overall if you liked the first this pretty much more of the same if not as gritty.

A pretty good low budget horror from the makers of Wolf Creek. In the vein of the Texas chainsaw massacre. A young couple lost after a trip out on a small boat seek out some shelter only to come across some very odd rural folk. Slow start but a bloody and tense ending make up for it.

A pretty decent western with a quality cast. It is very much a tracking a man on the run film, a very dangerous man as it happens. It is wonderfully shot to as the backdrop changes from the snowy mountains, forests, open plains and into the desert. It gets a little surreal in the final third but still an interesting film.

A pretty decent thriller, although not surprised it was straight to DVD. Saying that it does have a strong well known cast but just has a low budget feel to it. It's watchable especially if you like any of the actors but just not as intense or gripping as better thrillers. Called Butterfly on a wheel in the UK.

Pretty much more of the same but not quite as intense and a bit too predictable. However still a pretty good horror and quite brutal, gory just like the first.

A strange, stoner slasher produced and directed by David Arquette (Scream). It's quite a decent modern slasher, quite odd but the back story as to why this guy goes off the rails killing hippies is explained. Less so the high regard Ronald Regan is given. It's funny in places, has a fair bit of gore, I found the tripping hallucinations a tad annoying. There is even a brief cameo from Courtney Cox-Arquette. Overall pretty good compared to many recent slasher offerings.

I'm not a big fan of Ben Stiller to be honest, but found this film ok. Still not up there with the likes of There's something about Mary. However it is better than some he has done. It has quite a few funny scenes and some raunchy ones to for a Rom-com?! Overall a good cast, a bit cheesy in places but an ok film overall.

This is a pretty good film, although saying that there is not really a lot of "story" to make a film of here. Especially When Will Smith is the last man on Earth, but despite this he gives a great performance and the film holds your interest even with the majority of it having just one character. There are some cool scenes of a deserted New York city (Where else!) but some of the other effects are so-so. Unfortunately there are a lot plot holes in the story and many questions that won't be answered. Good viewing but not groundbreaking.

Compared to many Slashers I've seen lately, and that's quite a lot, this was pretty good. From the same director as the Wishmaster and starring Tobin Bell of the Saw films. It is a bit slow building up to the kills, but when they come they are quite gory and different to the norm. A bunch of uni friends head out to one of the kids big house out in the desert looked after by the creepy caretaker. The house has a dark history involving a family curse, gold and murder. Good production value and a decent cast raise this above most straight to DVD slashers.

One of those films where the trailer makes it look so much better than it is. Was hoping for something close to Underworld as it was done by the same producers. However it is more a tale of romance. They are not really werewolves either but humans who turn into wolves....not something in between. Ok for a watch but could have been so much better.

A pretty decent if violent action film with backing from the WWE. The story is pretty good, although it starts to get a bit repetitive as it goes on. Reminded me slightly of the Running Man. Overall a lot better than I expected and Vinnie Jones is good as the bad guy, as always.

For a straight to DVD film this is actually a pretty good thriller. Gere and Claire Danes give good performances about a tough subject matter. They monitor sex offenders in the community, when a teenage girl is kidnapped in the area their suspicions are raised. A bit slow at the start but the second half of the film is good cat and mouse stuff. Don't expect much of Avril Lavigne in this though, a one scene cameo is all you get from her in this.

A pretty good action film with some great battle scenes and quite bloody, brutal to. The story is very simple and straight forward and is enjoyable to watch if not quite as good as the old Arnie Conan films, but if you like those you should enjoy this as well.

A pretty good sequel dealing with near death experiences has a good twist if not groundbreaking.

A fairly good thriller if very predictable and seriously lacking in any tension or suspence. Quite gory surgery on show and the actors do a good job just far too obvious an idea really but still worth a watch.

A pretty decent low budget thriller, although it does start to get a bit weird. Overall watchable, especially if you like any of the More like this films mentioned!

A bright, colourful, well animated film about Penguins who surf! The level of detail in the film is amazing from the lighting, fur and the water look so real. It's enjoyable enough for the kids and the bigger kids to. It has plenty of extras on DVD as well!

Not bad but I didn't think the story was as good as the first two or as funny!

Another big battle epic set in China's past. Some of the battle scenes are very good and the acting is impressive but the overall story just wasn't that interesting to me. It just sets up one battle up after another really. Curse of the Golden flower was visually more impressive and has a better storyline to it. The two are very similar.

Quite a strange tale. This film brings together a man just split from his cheating wife who is a farmer and ex-musician and a young white girl who seems to be a bit of a nymphomaniac! It's a good film about a very unusual friendship that can restore the both of them in the right path for the future.

An ok Rom-com, pretty run of the mill, but it does have some good funny scenes. Kinda cute and funny, the chemistry between the two leads is good but the parents are quite funny to. Worth checking out.

A pretty good English attempt at a teen comedy. Quite similar to The girl next door, Weird Science in idea. Low budget but with a pretty strong cast, it has it share of funny moments. The award ceremony part was filmed across the road from where I live!

A decent follow up to the first film, with the young Mexican snapped up by Real Madrid in the January transfer window to help their champions league campaign. Again this has plenty of guest stars playing themselves and the football games and scenes are very well done. Plot wise the new kid on the block has to cope with fame and fortune, the press, living abroad with his wife back in Newcastle and finding his mother. Not as deep story wise as the first, you do need to watch that first really and I wasn't happy with the quick ending waiting for the third installment, but this is about as good a film about football as can be made. Next up Goal 3 at the World cup!!

A very unique film that will have most people in one of two camps. Some will love it as a quality film, with a great performance from Daniel Day-Lewis. It's well written and has some stand out cinematography. Others despite this will find the story a bit tedious, boring. The film is a bit too long, some will find it drags in places. I fall in between the two, appreciating a well made film but the story was just not that interesting. If you like films along the lines of the Godfather, charting rise to power etc you should like this.

For a straight to DVD release the special effects, CGI and stunts, were very good. It had a much bigger budget feel to it. The story and plot are all a bit simple but you know what to expect. The creatures look good. Overall totally over the top B-movie monster mash fun, not to be taken too seriously.

A very good film with great CGI. Looks very much like a Pixar or Dreamworks film with a comic look. A great voice cast as well make for a good film but one more for the younger generation.

Another interpretation of Invasion of the body snatchers. This was an ok thriller, well made with a good cast. It just lacks any real punch, it's not tense, gripping or scary in any way. A missed opportunity really. I'd recommend The Faculty instead as that is a much more fun film, also influenced by the body snatchers.

A political thriller that starts well and asks some relevant questions. Has a slight twist and some good actors on show but overall left too many questions unanswered.

A so-so spoof film of many different martial arts films from Karate Kid, Kickboxer and mainly Enter the Dragon. It has it moments, but unless you are a fan of spoof films or martial arts films it pokes fun at you might not like it. Maggie Q does well in her role though.

A pretty cheesey B movie comedy horror. It's good in places but I started to get bored, it feels long even at 75mins. Slow to start but with a good end but not much to the story or plot. I was hoping for a lot more than this. On the plus side it has some very good old school make up effects and creature designs look good. One more for the horror fans, others may find it a little to slow.

A decent enough tale of survival based on true events as 3 people are stranded when attacked by a crocodile. It's ok but a lil too long and the interest starts to go after a while. Only so much tension you can build about people stuck in a tree avoiding a crocodile!

This is pretty good for a family film, not quite as much action as I weas expecting, but it has a good story line and and a fine cast. The children especially act very well for their age. Overall good family fun if not quite a classic.

A half decent low budget zombie film. It has a few familiar faces, average story and it's not long before zombies are busy eating just about everyone on the plane. There are far worse low budget horrors out there than this!

This is a fairly decent disaster film. It's a nice change to see a film of this type set outside New York for change! Some of the acting is pretty dour....the old guy playing a marine expert is especially bad, talking at the same pace and tone no matter what the scene. However the SFX in places are impressive and shots of a flooded London are believerable. Overall it would have benefitted from a bigger budget, but it is still watchable.

An ok mini Christmas helping of Shrek, would have been nice if it was just a bit longer!

A sort of B-movie horror with very dark humour. It's actually a bit slow and just seems to fill out the spaces between the 4 main scenes in the film. Some will find it to gross and gory and be crossing their legs. Something different, taboo subject matter in a way but overall doesn't make it a great horror. More one to to experience than anything else.

A good film, well made, based on a true story. Just a pity there isn't a little more action or tension. The subject might be a tad boring for some and the film is very slowly paced.

An even lower budget sequel to the cult original. Very poor acting and dialogue but the worst part is the ropey CGI effects! If you like cheesey B movie horrors that turn out to be quite funny you might enjoy this, similar to Frankenfish, Crocodile.

This is a mix of thriller/horror with a few recognizable faces in the cast. Not the film I was expecting it to be, quite similar to What lies beneath, Stir of echoes. If you like those you might enjoy this as well.

Another very average horror set off the beaten track. A couple of familiar faces in the cast and it is quite gory in parts. However it feels like it's trying to ride the coat tails of Wrong Turn, The hills have eyes franchises. One for horror fans who don't mind a cheesey horror. You might like Eden Lake instead.

One for the trailer made it look much better category. It's a mix of Blair witch project and Turistas (Paradise lost). Told in hand held cam format as two couples head into the jungle looking for a long lost heir to the Rockefeller fortune. Very slow to start and quite bleak, by the end you don't care what happens to them. Only gets gory for the last 15 mins or more. One for camcorder horror fans only really.

A half decent made for TV film starring Gary Busey as a sheriff of a small town with an escaped Tiger on the loose. It has some pretty gory make up scenes, surprised it's a PG?! Very much a Jaws on land and not too be taken seriously.

Falls into the trailer made it look so much better category. Pity but very run of the mill action film. Oh and don't expect to see any martial arts in this!

A strange film with not very much plot or explanation as to what is going on, although some might like this more because of that. It's a very gritty, raw, rather bleak film as a couple of psycho's decide to play games with a family in the holiday home. Just need to watch a comedy after to lift your mood!

Quite an average film in the end, more of a drama. One for the trailer made it look a lot better category that's for sure.

A low budget werewolf film with a good idea but poor execution. The werewolves look quite odd and the plot is far too simple and obvious. Gingersnaps or Dog Soldiers are much better!

Another film based on the video game character Bloodrayne. This has nothing to do with the Bloodrayne 2 game what so ever. This time it's set in the old wild west, not that wild though as there isn't a lot of action. Billy the Kid just happens to be a vampire in a small town so Bloodrayne has to come to the rescue. It's not as bad as I feared for an even lower budget sequel to the first, at least that had actors you have heard of in it. Just has that cheap TV film feel to it, but it could have been worse I guess.

A real missed opportunity, I was hoping for much more after seeing the trailer. The idea is good but the end result is not. It trys too hard to be a mix of the Matrix and Sin city, but the fights look strange and the CGI is over used. Watch it on TV if you have to but don't pay to see this.

The 4th and worst of the series so far. Doesn't have any of the characters from the first three films. It doesn't really explain where the hybrid came from or where it was created, so it doesn't have a good link to the other films. It has a very slow, dull build up to the last 20 mins or so. If they ever go back to this series it has to be with a link to the first film and hopefully with a decent idea and budget!

Wow this really is bad and I quite like spoof films! This is just plain awful and not funny 99% of the time. It mainly spoofs The Chronicle of Narnia, Willy Wonka, Da Vinci Code and the Pirates of the Caribbean. Check out my Spoof list for some decent ones!

I wanted to like it but overall it was rather slow and boring, real shame considering the actors involved in this.

It started with great potential but overall starts to fade in the final third. Not bad by all means for a low budget indie horror. At first I thought it might be a take on of Dog Soldiers but with a Nazi zombie twist.....but it's most ghostly to be honest. A fair bit of gore and creepy atmosphere in the dark bunker at the start would have been a great setting if the story was a little better. Try out the Norwegian film Dead Snow, for a fun horror comedy on a similar plot.

More romantic/drama than a comedy. It has more heartfelt, feel good moments than any really laugh out loud scenes. Still it was a nice story, with a good cast and well made. Just always a bit predictable.

An impressive directorial debut from Ben Affleck, I really like The Town as well which he directed and starred in. Based on a novel by Dennis Lehane he also wrote Mystic River which was a great entertaining if gritty and harsh film. This has many similar themes running through it. The cast is an amazing line up and all give good performances. It's the harshness, grim reality in terms of the setting, characters and subject matter that make the film intriguing as well as compelling viewing. A very interesting film, go and see it and Mystic River!

A very poor, low budget made for TV horror. It has no real plot, not much is explained for the story or the reason for the killer. The acting is bad, the script even worse. Some of the characters appear and disappear just as quickly. It doesn't have many kill scenes as such. Mildly gory in a couple of scenes. Really though this is pretty bad and just about any other horror film is better than this! I can't believe it got a sequel!!

A creepy horror film with a high production value and good cast. There might not be a high enough body count for some, or for it to be classed as a slasher anyway. However it does have a spooky atmasphere with the creepy dolls. Not the most original or scary film, but at least it tried something new and different, among the endless carbon copy horrors being released these days. I have to add for a horror film the photography is great, you really can tell the attention to detail in every shot, from the angle, framing, lighting and colours. You don't notice that in many horror films!

An average comedy with a strong cast line up. Pretty much run of the mill jokes about the son who disapproves of his Mum's new man. It turns out to be the gym instructor who made his life hell at school. Has a few funny moments but not nearly enough of them, especially for the talented line up!

A rather poor, very low budget, comedy horror. It's very gory in places and the effects on the shoe-string budget are pretty good. The first third of the film isn't too bad, introducing some odd characters, a few gory scenes, plenty of B-Movie sillyness and nudity. Once they all get to the cabin though and try and hold out as long as the can it becomes rather boring and by the numbers. Watch only if you like odd B movie horror films or enjoy gore effects.

Well seems I'm the only person who didn't like this?! I thought it was a Rom-Com but it's more of a Rom-Drama. Quite weird and quirky, I just found it painfully slow, long and a bit boring. The 2nd half isn't too bad but the film didn't need any where near the run time. I would say it's most like The good girl with Jennifer Aniston but I enjoyed that more than this.

I've not seen the old St Trinian's films from the 50's, but good to see the brand get a modern day English make over. It's pretty much what you would expect, silly over the top characters and action. It's all lighthearted fun though with a good English cast. Good for a giggle.
