Friends with Benefits

Had to take the wife out for a long overdue trip to the cinema and I let her choose the film, I wanted to go and see Warrior but she was having none of it.

Anyway I wasn't expecting much from this so I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it. Justin T was quite good and Mila Kunis was very good and I didn't realise just how gorgeous she is.

My only gripe is that they should have used Woody Harrelson a lot more, he is so funny as a gay guy.

But if you've seen it, you will know that, towards the end, it sort of starts to get disappointing

So it can only average a 4/5 here.

Its disappointing all the way through.

The potential for a massive hit was there, they just goofed the last 30 minutes or so.

Default Moneyball

7.5/10

Despite the fact that it's essentially a 133 min film about managing the cheapest team in baseball, competent scriptwriting, directing and performances all work toward maintaining the drama.

Default A horrible way to die

A horrible way to die... Indeed! I, personaly, would chose a gun. Bang! Finito! But having to watch that movie for 84 minutes, was one of the hardest things i ever did. And it΄s not a horror movie... The only horrific about this movie is the direction... I started feeling bored from the first 5 minutes, but i found the strength to watch it all the way (and i am very proud of myself). If boredom could kill i would be dead from the beginning...

I enjoyed watching this more than Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy.

Saying anything else would ruin the film for those who haven't seen it and want to.

Let's just say that it's got more little twists in it than a 10 foot long dreadlock

And we all thought it was a better bet than Warrior.

Brendon Gleeson on top form, is he never not?

Default Let Me In

Wow that was good. I didn't expect that at all. And two kids who could act the socks off most adults. Very good and a horror with class and a story.
Super - 4 out of 5.

It's a good wee film. And doesn't feel like a remake.
