  • Jack Reacher 2012

    ★★★ Added

    This is a pretty entertaining B-grade movie, even though it feels a bit like TV-series quality script and production levels at times. The only thing I found distracting was that the lead actor looked a LOT like well-know A-list actor Tom Cruise.

  • There Will Be Blood 2007

    ★★★★★ Added

    Finally saw it on the plane. Always assumed it would be hard work and too gruelling for some reason. It's actually great and dramatic without being over-wrought.

    Also going to start talking like Daniel Plainview in meetings. "I've travelled half the state to show you this work today..."

  • Hugo 2011

    ★★ Watched 20 Jan, 2012

    Imagine if an old American guy, a random one, not Scorsese, made a French movie, but not a good one. Then add even more French whimsical background music. And Sacha Baron Cohen as a character from 'Allo 'Allo. Then make it all run 1 hour longer than it needed to be. Practice your old person Bridgeway theatre laugh for this one.

  • The Guard 2011

    ★★★★★ Added

    The best in every way possible. Don't be put off by a fairly twee synopsis - it's not a Sunday afternoon old-people charmer. It is violent in parts, but not gratuitously so. And I found it genuinely and consistently funny the whole way through.
