Rain Man

It isn't all that. Dustin Hoffman puts in a very believable performance which drives forward the plot of Tom Cruise being a complete arse for three quarters of the film before undergoing an instantaneous change of character to completely care for his brother. You can watch and enjoy Rain Man but don't expect any life changing moments.

In Bruges

Very quotable with a good mixture of comedy and some genuinely emotional moments, Colin Farrell impresses. The story itself is excellently told, with a few interesting plot twists and quality score, being well paced and actually establishing the setting of Bruges are also good points. I enjoyed it, as did Vastian who insisted that I write this now rather than take my time to think out a proper review (he can be so whiney), I'll probably improve upon this at a later date.

Stardust

I really enjoyed Stardust and it made me, an eternal cynic, feel good about myself and even a bit of the outside world for a while. The story is great and the cinematography is faultless, so I'm giving it 5 out of 5. If anyone disagrees with me you may feel free to do so, but then you are reading this for my opinion and not your own so 'ha'.

House Of The Dead

Made me want to hurt myself, and not in the 'Hey lets try some of that kinky stuff you see on the internet' kind of way.

Rating: U

A Knights Tale

Surprisingly good, there are a few genuine lawl (note my witty use of interweb vernacular) moments but it admittedly does lack substance. Makes for a fun night in (I surpressed the urge to add the 'K' there) if you don't feel like watching anything too serious.

I'll do a proper review at some point.

Rating: B

Superbad

The scenes with the cops are good, apart from that Superbad is indeed super bad. Yes I fucking went there.

Rating: E

No Country For Old Men

Has a pretty awesome antagonist, apart from that I can't really see what all the fuss is about.

I'm being brief because this movie really is that uninspiring, and Tommy Lee Jones is more or less completely superfluous to the entire film.

Rating: D
