Absolutely brilliant, fantastically written and directed. Gripping, thrilling and entirely engaging. The silence of the film made for a really nerve racking experience. On the verge of brilliance.

The Incredible Hulk (2008,  PG-13)
The Incredible Hulk 3.0 Stars
Something about Big green monsters just doesn't make for a great film - whilst its a slight improvement on Ang Lees film - HULK just isn't a character I'm that interested in, prehaps its that you never really root for the HULK as he isn't really a 'good guy' when Bruce Banner is in his Alter-ego - the CGI though is a huge improvement but some of the action scenes are too noisy and messy. And doesn't focus on the action in the scene.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street 3.0 Stars
Dark and Grim, Tim Burton does a great job of bringing the film to life, but unfortunately just doesn't hit the spot, 3 stars could be a stretch, the performances and direction are great though, so it picks up points there.

A disappointment to Tim Burtons brilliant resume of films, but defiantely not his worst.

Feels like it runs around in circles with no real purpose, there are some greatly executed scenes which look great, and comedic moments from personality suffering robot Marvin, but its too hit and miss to really enjoy.

License to Wed 2.5 Stars
A few laughs, but nothing great, the whole movie is overly predictable, Moore and Krasinski play well together. Robin Williams while doing an OK role in the film, doesn't hit comedy gold, nor has in the past few films he has made. His little kid sidekick was a major let down, he should never have been part of the film, annoying much.
The baby scene was hysterical but other than that, nothing that a few smirks here and there.

Cloverfield (2008,  PG-13)
Cloverfield 2.5 Stars
If it weren't for the motion sickness inducing camera work, the movie would have worked well. I get what the director was trying to do with the camera work, but after a while it got too much.

I can forgive the fact that there really wasn't any conclusion, there wasn't any reasoning as to why the monster was there, how it got there etc, etc.

The acting felt real so there is a plus.

People will go in droves, but unfortunately the AWESOME marketing campaign didn't do the film justice.

Shoot 'Em Up 2.0 Stars
Way over the top, which is kinda the point, but in parts just takes the violence too far. It is a bit of a fun ride, but Clive Owen has so much acting talent he seems wasted doing this type of film, but for big dumb gun fun, Shoot 'em up has it all, at least you won't be bored.

An overly feminine romp, Katherine Heigel was charming and beautiful, but it wasn't enough to carry the film. I think females would enjoy it, but it isn't a 'chick flick' that has enough to keep the men that get forced to watch it interested the whole way through.

Really silly movie, rented it thinking Will Arnett would make it worth while, but its obvious he can't hold a movie on his own, he definately works better as a side character. I loved him in Arrested Development but struggled to enjoy any of his other films! Really dumb with only a few funny moments.
