Fight Club 1999, R)
Another top 3 film. I lust love it, forget the violence, the writing and acting are again brilliant. I love the 3D fly through's too. Next time you watch it, actually listen to some of the things Durden says... |

Transformers 2007, PG-13)
Michael Bay and co totally surpassed all my expectations with this beauty. First off the whole concept is brilliant. Next comes the script, flows well, tongue-in-cheek, and top acting all round. However, right from the get go the main thing you will notice is that you can't take your eyes off the screen, bar raising SFX. 5/5 |

300 2007, R)
I knew this would be an instant fav as soon as I saw the trailer - awesome action, great use of CGI/green-screen. Not historically accurate but who cares, this is Hollywood baby! |

Watchmen 2009, R)
So much more than a comic book movie, they said it was unfilmable and having read the book I'd thought the same. Hats off then to Snyder who clearly felt passionately about the source and has done an incredible job. Not to everyones taste, smart, complex, dark, watch it. |
