I'm usually the first one to rip on the "all CGI with no plot" movies, like my recent viewing of Blade Runner 2049, however, this one won me over.

I started off skeptical and a little confused, but the interesting story keep me going through a mediocre screenplay and so-so acting.


I was entertained enough to recommend especially based on maybe the best CGI I have ever seen. This movie was magnificently beautiful in every way and that made up for some of the average moments.


Easy to recommend.

One of my favourite games. Complete carnage. Take control of one of the gingerbread men in this survival game made of cheeky punches and bazookas. 2-6 players flee from candy land to escape. You’re not the only one so it’s a fight for the exit.
Grab weapons, run past your opponents and don’t forget to sucker punch them. If all else fails then call a cage match battle!!! Rip your opponents limbs off one by one and keep them as trophies. 6 biscuits enter, one biscuit leaves. Check out my review...

Based on the graphic novel of the same name, I think the main draw of this for me (and, I'm sure, many others) is Angelina Jolie's character of Fox, with lowly frustrated office worker Wesley (a pre X-Men James McAvoy) discovering he is the son of a famous assassin, and that he shares his fathers almost superhuman killing ability.

There's a fair point to the criticism that this is almost a Matrix rip-off, but I have to say: this is far nastier (doesn't shy away from the guts and gore aspect) and filthier (language wise) than that earlier movie.

I should have known that the Jaws film with the coolest poster would be the shittest.
On paper, a movie about Sheriff Brodys widowed wife sharing a psychic connection with a shark that's personally out to get her, is potential B-Movie hilarity, but sadly, it's painfully boring, with a shark that somehow looks even worse that the one in Jaws 3D. It even roars like a fucking dinosaur. It has nothing better to do than rip off scenes from the first movie, and in some instances, literally copy and paste from it. Not even Michael Caine can save this big pile of wank.

Rather ropey Omen rip-off with Richard Burton, Lino Ventura and Lee Remick (told you so). A French detective seconded to the London police (zis is ze co-production, bien sur) investigates the life of a writer and noted grump who has just had his head bashed in (Burton); the victim believed he had the power to cause disasters and gradually le inspecteur comes to agree with him.

Some genuinely interesting ideas, but a peculiar narrative structure and obviously low budget are definite limiting factors. Film makes good use of its biggest asset, Richard Burton, who gives his various misanthropic rants 110% and seems to be genuinely off his head (one wonders if he spent most of the shoot wrecked). Playing spot the cameo is also somewhat entertaining. Climax is a bit disappointing though; the whole film is never quite as chilling, powerful, or convincing as it thinks it is.

So much like Battle Royale (0 more)
Not an original concept, but enjoyable watch
To be fair, I had never heard of the Hunger Games series before the film came out. So when I watched it my first reaction was - this is a rip off Battle Royale! Obviously that changed after the other films came out. However, I enjoyed the concept - because I loved BR. And I especially liked Jennifer Lawrence who always plays such fabulously gritty characters such as in The Winter's Bone. It's not a film you can watch repeatedly though because it is rather dark, and there are zero comedy elements in this dystopian fantasy (obviously). That being said, great acting all round.
