| Knowing - PG-13 | an American film without a happy ending. thumbs up for that. | December 19, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Che: Part One (The Argentine) - R |
did this need to be so long? after an hour of guerilla tactics in the jungle I kinda got it. the bit in the town was at least fighting in a varied backdrop. this whole film made me feel che was just a puppet of Fidel's and not a great man in his own right. I imagine part two might flesh that out but I can't be arsed to sit through another two hours. |

| G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra - PG-13 | Big dumb action film. At least it went part way to create an origin story for Cobra. Again, something to watch when stuck on a plane for 20 hours. | November 20, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Weather Girl - PG-13 | it's funny what you'll watch when you're on a plane. I was really only drawn to this because Ducky was in it. His role was no worth the effort. | November 20, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Disney's A Christmas Carol - PG |
Seeing this in 3D was more roller coaster ride than retelling of the Dicken's tale. Using some inventive re-imaginings, Zemekis and co manages to make your stomach churn as Scrooge goes flying down the roads of London and across it's rooftops. I can only imagine how disappointing this would be in 2D. |

| 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. |
October 9, 2009 | 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. |

| 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 |
