sw this in 3d, which was a bit of a waste, 3d was wasted in parts, and the story, like others doesent flow well, there are some inventive deaths, but thats about it
19
Tôkyô Zankoku Keisatsu (Tokyo Gore Police) (2008,  Unrated)
Tôkyô Zankoku Keisatsu (Tokyo Gore Police)

20
Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009,  R)
21
Underworld: The Rise of the Lycans (2009,  R)
Underworld: The Rise of the Lycans
not a fan of the underworld series, and with kate beckinsale missing, this is not that great, although michael sheen is a good watch here, taking a break from playing real people like tony blair , brian clough, and, tony frost, hedoes make this a little more interesting
22

Rigged (Fight Night)
clitched throughout, some crapy acting, and low production values, andevena scene wheretheguy keeps a pic of a dream boat, hes gonna get when he gets out of the racket, rather dull
28
Free Jimmy (Slipp Jimmy fri) (2006,  Unrated)
29
Punisher: War Zone (2008,  R)
Punisher: War Zone
missing thomas jayne badly as he oviously,had a good sence notto do this film, and the guy who plays punisher, is very bad indeed, there must have been more choice for role than this guy
30
Goal! III (Goal! 3: Taking on the World) (2009,  PG-13)
Goal! III (Goal! 3: Taking on the World)
the guy from the first 2 goals is in this, and hes in it throughout, but for some strange reason hes sidelined, to focus more on the 2 english playersgetting ready for world cup action, some scenes are sily, andacting not up to much, and football scenes badly done, it doesent help that one ofthe guys looks like daman albarn from blur, and has no charisma
31
Puffball: The Devil's Eyeball (2007,  Unrated)
Puffball: The Devil's Eyeball
this starts off okay, and kelly reillly is a good actress and is watchable here, but thestory gets dull, in thesecondhalf, when the story is getting going, something about voodo,and getting pregnant, and the curse or good luck of a stone with a hole in it, it dident grab me, nicholas roegwho directed some great stuff in the past, could do better
32

33
Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008,  R)
Repo! The Genetic Opera
when some of the songs get going, there quite catchy, but overall the film is dull, and talking singing i cant stand, paul sorvino turns up here, you never see him in anything, and he does this, he was paulie in goodfellas, whats going on
34
Babysitter Wanted (2008,  R)
35
City Rats (2008,  Unrated)

a moody brit drama following 3 london tales, danny dyer is okay in his story, and tamer hassn does better work, in some nice scenes of a man and a women, meeting under dificult circumstances
36

37
Bad Biology (2008,  Unrated)
38
Green Street Hooligans 2: Stand Your Ground (2009,  Unrated)
Green Street Hooligans 2: Stand Your Ground
youll know wetheryou like this from opening voiceover. i liked thefirst green street starring eliza wood but here we have a cheap follow up with no events linked as far as i can tell, sequel in name only, and set in prison which oviously has been filmed in some other country
39
Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009,  PG)
Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian
a misfire here with a lot of problems throughout, missing the charm of the 1st film, and in relocating events somebad desisions made, not to mention holes in logic, tell me whereare the guards or any kind of security in the called largest museum, hank hazaria does save the filma bit as the bad guy, but also many others are wasted, and a wasted oportunity for darth vadar, he doesent speak,,,why. a more simple 3rd film wouldbemore interesting i think
40
Felon (2008,  R)
Felon
stephen dorff is a nice family man going down for murder,and prison is hell. here he meets val kilmer who might just be his saviour, a okay prison drama, nothing special,

47
I Can't Think Straight (2008,  PG-13)
I Can't Think Straight

52
The Midnight Meat Train (2008,  R)
The Midnight Meat Train
some good gore throughout, but the plot following the good guy is dull, and vinnie jones in a mute role is a bit menaceing, but hes done this before
53
Live! (2007,  R)
Live!
what tv will do to get ratings, a simple story of eva mendes getting a russian roulette show on the air, and how they go about it, average, not as clever as it wants to be
54
The Fall (2006,  R)
55
City of Ember (2008,  PG)
56
Sydney White (2007,  PG-13)

predictable and in the college types, very very annoying, and very predictable like these films are, but amanda bynes makes it a little better, but its no shes the man
57
War, Inc. (2008,  R)
War, Inc.
at the start this could be gross point blank 2, but settles into a satire on america invading and then setting up franchaises, some good moments, trying to say something, relevent in todays world
58

The Accidental Husband (,  PG-13)
The Accidental Husband
if this was a thriller it be very good, but its a romantic comedy and is up there with sleepless in seatle and while you were sleeping, for shock facture, yes its a comedy but you cant have it both ways by having the predictable last act, which goes serious and says its all wrong, dreadful
62

63
The Girl in the Park (2008,  R)
64
The Devil's Chair (2008,  Unrated)
The Devil's Chair
notcrap, but not a lot good with it, with the typical closed down asylum giving off a vibe, and ghostly spirits, but with a little twist not very original, the filmmakers hate what they made here, and a lot of what you see is a result of them trying to salvage it, and that includes a scene where they say you the audiance are bad people for wanting this crap, the new direction does add something to a bad film,
65
Friday the 13th (2009,  R)
Friday the 13th
not a remake of the first, and certainly not bringing anything new along, yes there some nice deaths but it all falls into predictable mayhem, ad when the filmmakers seem stuck, leave charactors live when oviously they would be killed by jason in a instant, but i guess al horrors fall to this
66
Mamma Mia! (2008,  PG-13)
Mamma Mia!
very irritating in parts, and a crapy story throughout, never was a abba fan, but im sure fans will see something in it, and there is a highlight, pierce brosnan singing, so bad its good

68
XXY (2007,  Unrated)

70

72
Under the Volcano (1984,  R)
73
Loaded (2007,  R)
Loaded
a young lawyer sudent gets in over his head when he gets involved with thugs, a lifestyle he likes the look off but then its to late, a so so crime thriller, with a bland performsance from the main star, and of course vinnie jones in the handfull of scenes hes in bringing something
74
Asylum (2007,  R)
75
Kiss Daddy Goodnight (1988,  R)
76
The Tracey Fragments (2007,  R)

77
Prey (2006,  R)
78
Nim's Island (2008,  PG)
Nim's Island
a sort of comic performance from miss jode foster, not to annoying, and that little kid from little miss sunshine, being iritating, and gerald butler doing some acent im not sure of, a ok kids adventure i think they would enjoy much more
79
Samaria (Samaritan Girl) (,  R)
80
The Big Doll House (1971,  R)
The Big Doll House
pam grier in her typical 70s role, as convicts atempt a escape after there prison is not so good, bad acting throuout, and typical nudity
81
The Arena (1973,  Unrated)
The Arena
70s pam grier film taking her back to ancient rome as a slave girl along with 3 others but becoming gladiators when the people of rome want something diferent, like a few grier films, very 70s, and silly action throughout, bad dubbing for some, and a bit corny
82
The Air I Breathe (2008,  R)
83
The Love Guru (2008,  PG-13)
The Love Guru
dreadful, myers trying desperatly just a ounce of austin powers magic, his annoying face tells it all, his twitches, his talent has left his body, wishing he was wayne again, sex jokes throughout, and telling you there coming, and considering theres a sports theme here, as he helps a hockey team, worst film of the year even more than semi pro, avoid
84
Shark in Venice (,  R)
85
Reel Zombies (2008,  Unrated)
86
Conspiracy (2008,  R)
87
Australia (2008,  PG-13)

starts off very moulin rouge from baz lurman, hits you over the head, with comedy and visuals, then settles down, and gets serious with a romance that doesent convince, and some dull moments throughout, dont help matters
88
Cleaner (2007,  R)
Cleaner
sam jackson cleans crime scenes, and is predictably set up, by a guy when you watch it, so ovious, but not to sam oviously,
