  • Olympus Has Fallen 2013

    ★½ Watched 30 Apr, 2013

    A steaming turd of a film we've smelled many times before, smothered in extra cheese and draped in an American Flag.
    It might've worked as a half-arsed level in a Call Of Duty game, but not as a film. Would make a great double-bill with Team America: World Police though...

  • Spring Breakers 2013

    ★★ Watched 09 Apr, 2013

    Harmony Korine's mid-life crisis.
    For a better film about Spring Break, see Piranha.

  • Django Unchained 2012

    ★★★½ Watched 22 Jan, 2013

    Excellent and engaging first half hour devolves into verbose, stagey, self-indulgent faff. Throwaway violence that's over too quickly, poorly written female characters, tiresome longeurs between set-pieces and a strange lack of tension.
    On the other hand, the performances were uniformly great, though the bad guys felt like panto villains. Also well shot and scored, parts of it felt genuinely Nero / Leone. I found it mostly entertaining, but as a long-time QT fan was a little disappointed at the hollowness of it all.

  • Goon 2012

    ★★★½ Added

    Fun, violent, well-made. Makes me want to ice skate and punch people repeatedly in the face.
