Hilarious. Like Police Academy, but funny. Actually that could be said about a lot of films but this was pure class. Few off moments, but had me laughing all the way through.

beautiful and very moving, maybe slightly too short but anything else may have been padding. The best shot film I've seen so far this year, and probably the best African one I've ever seen (probably the only one though)

Cry Wolf (2005,  PG-13)
Cry Wolf 5.0 Stars
Very tight little mystery film, great soundtrack, well paced, and it's got Jared Padalecki from Supernatural in it.

Gary Cole was a weird choice to play the dad, they could have just hired an English actor, but his accent is fine. And Jon Bovi has surprised me in the roles I've seen him in so far.

Was going to rate it slightly lower until the last 10 minutes or so. I think the fact that I expected a straight horror film (didn't know jack about it) may have helped the enjoyment. Oh, and the fact that its full of cute schoolgirls in short skirts never hurts...

Great great film film. Kind of like noir's answer to 'The Man Who Knew Too Little', though not a straight out comedy. I love noirs so I'll take anything new coming my way, and if this became some form of franchise I'd be a happy man.

If you like the blues you'll love this film. Some fantastic tunes in this, wrapped around a hell of a film. The guitar battle at the end has to be to heard to be believed (plus it's the Karate Kid vs the Wyld Stalyons, top that!)

Weird Al is the king of parody songs, and this film is full of TV and film parodies (a couple of subtle ones you might not even notice) and crazy humour. Michael Richards plays Kramer on acid and who couldn't love that? Fantastic film that's a satire AND a love story to TV.

I'm gonna miss these guys. It's sad that this is the swan song for the Askewniverse. But I know Smith will go on to equally great things

I think this is probably a guy flick, especially the scene towards the end in jail. Dealing with strong emotions for another dude isn't always easy and I found this scene very poiniant to my own life. Miss ya Andy, you cock smoker.

Hilarious. Aardman might have swapped plastacine for pixels but its hasn't damaged there story telling abilities. Had me laughing all the way though. Has a few misses her and there, but what film doesn't (and they don't detract in the least)?

Little Miss Sunshine (2006,  R)
Little Miss Sunshine 5.0 Stars
This is the kind of film that RV really should have been...

When I first heard about Little Miss Sunshine I wasn't interested. Children's beauty pagents disgust me. Their f*cked up peado fests where parents turn there kids in to twisted little dolls dressed up like adults instead of kids. The trailer changed my mind somewhat and the film actually agrees with me on my point, which is nice.

It's a disfunctional family piece, quirky, funny and charming. steve Carell gets a chance to act instead of just doing schtick, and it turns out he's great at both. Abigail Breslin is a great little actress and she's rediculously cute.

This is Jersey Girls even more twisted little cousin. Great stuff.

Children of Men (2006,  R)
Children of Men 5.0 Stars
Harsh, brutal, extremely well made and not all that far fetched. Well, humanity becoming infertile maybe but there's adverts on the radio NOW about hiring illegal immigrants. Good old EU...

Anyway, some of the cinematography in this is just STUNNING. The one continuous shot about 25 minutes in to the movie....I can't work out how they did it. Gonna have to buy the DVD just to find that out.

Michael Caine is fantastic in this, as is the rest of the cast. The futuristic tech is subtle and plausable, never thrown in your face and only a few steps ahead of what we have now as would be expected. this is shocking, brutal and heartwarming stuff.

Extremely well made mokumentary. Very realistic, my stomach was in knots for the last third. If I'm half as heroic in the position that the passengers were, I'd be proud.

Laberinto del fauno, El, (Pan's Labyrinth) (2006,  R)
Laberinto del fauno, El, (Pan's Labyrinth) 5.0 Stars
An absolutely beautiful film. The type of story reminds me of the kind of fantasy films that Hollyweird was putting out in the 80's, but it also has a lot of the real Grimm fairy tales in it. They were harsh and pretty nasty, not the disneyfied version most people are familiar with.

The ending is a bit ambigous though. Don't expect what you think is going to happen. I nearly knocked a half star off for it but decided not too. Also in the last chunk there is quite a break from the fantasy element and a lot of the real world. this almost lasts too long, but its kind of unavoidable for plot and story reasons.

Oh, and this cost roughly what the catering budget would be on a crappy mainstream movie, for example Eragon, and looks, sounds and is acted better than 90% of them. Del Toro = genius.

Apocalypto (2006,  R)
Apocalypto 5.0 Stars
They say there's a fine line between insanity and genius, and we all know that Mel Gibson is a nut job...

Fantastic films that at its heart has a simple story with extraordinary surroundings. Mel being a born again christian means I dreaded this beliteling the religion and culture, but it doesn't. The whole sacrafice thing is pretty crazy anyway but he didn't make a meal of it. There's a lot of theories as to what happened to the Mayans. This film seems to go for the "whiped out by a plague" one that makes sense. Excelent film, brilliantly performed.

Flags of Our Fathers 5.0 Stars
Fantastic war film. when you see some of the stuff that Clint Eastwood has directed it makes it kind of sad he acted so long cause he's amazing at this.

Good actor too mind you

Looking forward to seeing the flip side from the Japanese perspective
