Cars 2 2011

★★½

Brightly coloured and plenty of bang for your buck. I've fallen asleep the first three attempts at watching this, but managed to stay awake through this, says it all....

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey 2012

★★★★

Visually stunning and epic in scale, although a little bit podgy round the middle (just like me!).

Monster's Ball 2001

★★★★½

Incredible performances from all the cast and a powerhouse performance from Halle Berry. Can't believe it's taken me this log to see this film. Harrowing in content but mesmerising!

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone 2013

★★

Hilariously unfunny. Jim Carrey is the best thing in it, shame he's only on screen for a total of 5 minutes. Feels to convenient and familiar.

Jack the Giant Slayer 2013

★★

To crisp in the picture which makes the sets and SFX look fake - which detracts from a very formulaic story - the acting's not too bad - if ham acting is acceptable that is - wasn't bored, but walked out of it with "humpf, it was alright" - same as Oz the great & Powerful...
