The Invention of Lying - PG-13 when you've got a high concept comedy you better make sure you plug any plotholes. this didn't. in a world where you can't lie, how do you get away with calling someone a douchebag?

also according to this God is a lie as gervais' character invents the 'man in the sky'. did Jesus exist in this world?

enjoyable but too many questions.

Role Models - R humourous brain dead fun with a hilarious KISS themed 3rd act. October 31, 2009  
N/A
Paul Blart: Mall Cop - PG not as bad as I thought and much better than the alternative - watching xfactor!

typical tale of underdog who overcomes the odds ( and plotholes) to save the day.

worth a free rental

Gran Torino - R cracking tale with Clint being Clint. finest ending you could ask for as well. October 18, 2009  
N/A
Coraline - PG did not disappoint. the stop motion was stunning. it's also one of the best looking blu-rays I've seen. tempted to turn rental into purchase on this one. October 18, 2009  
N/A
Moon - R blending parts of 2001 and blade runner into a completely original tale. taking the best parts of indie cinema and expanding on them. this is one of the best films I've seen this year. October 18, 2009  
N/A
Revolutionary Road - R depressing tale of a stale suburban life and shattered dreams.

Mid life crisis in about two hours, but set against a 1950s backdrop.

N/A
The Damned United - R Great bio pic on the footballing legend. the Blu-Ray bonus features were pretty good too, but I don't know about the BD Live crap.

It's amazing how dirty the players were back in the 70s and how far we've come with things like pitch conditions, etc.

N/A
Australia - PG-13 not as bad as I'd thought it would be and actually quite engrossing for the three hours. there's some stuff that could have been cut though September 20, 2009  
N/A
Tyson - R 90 minutes of listening to iron mike's story... told by iron mike. you do the math.

he does talk about all the tabloid points though - rape, marriage and more.

N/A
What Just Happened? - R interesting take on what it means to produce a film these days. nothing goes right, and you have directors and stars to contend with. De Niro is wonderfully understated as usual and Bruce Willis as Bruce Willis is a hoot. September 10, 2009  
N/A
The Other Boleyn Girl - PG-13 scheming, plotting, whoring out your daughters to increase your social status. History has all the elements for a classic episode of Eastenders!

While this flick is wrapped in the bodice ripping wrapper that makes women swoon and men go for the remote, the story was quite intriguing and held my interest. Set against the period where Henry VIII broke from Rome to form the Church of England, it's quite interesting to see what a human being - whether a king, queen, parent or sibling - would do to protect their standing and get what they want.

It's also worth nothing that NONE of the three main leads were British... is there no one on these shores capable of portraying Anne, Mary or Henry?

Waitress - PG-13 A cute quirky indie, made all the more watchable by the pie creating Felicity and the twitchy, nervous Nathan Fillon.

It was also nice to see Cheryl David in something other than Curb as well.

Jeremy Sisko, however, steals the show as the horrible husband Earl. He's quite possibly one of the more evil bad guys I've seen on screen for a while, and my hat off to him for doing it with mere words, attitude and that damn car horn.
