Stars: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Eric Bana, Bruce Greenwood. Director JJ Abrams (Lost, Mission Impossible 3) delivers an awesome re-boot of the fading Trek franchise with absolute perfect casting - with a thoroughly enjoyable and highly entertaining film! Top Notch! (10/10) AVATAR Stars: Sam Worthington, Sigorney Weaver, Zoe Saldana. Directed by James Cameron (Aliens, Terminator, The Abyss, Titantic) sets the bar high with the most in-your-face CGI movie event ever, a wonderous looking film that has the whole world talking. Storywise, it's a little lame but Worthington again - delivers a great performance. (8/10) TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN Stars: Shia LeBeouf, Megan Fox. The battle to save the universe returns – in a bigger, in-your-face, over the top sequel to follow the first incarnation with plenty of action between the Autobots and the Decepticons. Awesome! (8/10) TERMINATOR SALVATION Stars: Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Hellena Bonam Carter. The fourth film in the TERMINATOR franchise delivers a storyline in the future with an adult John Connor and friends fighting Skynet. Action a plenty with numerous Terminators – including a newcomer who saves the day! Personally, I reckon MCG got the casting wrong - Worthington should of been John Connor?! (8/10) ICE AGE 3: RISE OF THE DINOSAURS Stars:Ray Ramano, John Leguizamo, Dennis Leary. More insane madness with Manny, Sid, Diego and Scrat – and others returning with their third outing and just as before - you'll laugh your head off with their colourful antics! (9/10) X MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE Stars: Hugh Jackson, Liev Schreberer, Ryan Renolds. A fast paced, action packed excursion into the world of Wolverine with the fourth film in the X MEN series serving up a good film that delivers some very cool moments! (9/10) DRAG ME TO HELL Stars: Alison Lohman, Justin Long. Legend director, Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Xena, Spider Man) returns to his roots - with a gritty, funny and at times, 'old school' styled horror that delivers a quite tasty enjoyable film! (9/10) G.I. JOE: RISE OF THE COBRA Stars:Dennis Quaid, Sienna Miller. The action never stops in this seriously, over-the-top movie with more gagets than a James Bond fire sale but doesn't detract from a very stimulating, enjoyable and fun flick! (8/10) DISTRICT 9 Stars: Shaito Copley, Jason Cope. Lord Of The Rings director - Peter Jackson backs debut director, Neill Blomkamp with his sci-fi film that has a realistic world that works – having a similar theme to 80's TV show, V. (8/10) THE HANGOVER Stars: Bradley Cooper, Justin Bartha, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Heather Graham. Story of a boys weekend away in Las Vegas - that goes terribly wrong on many levels with countless near catstrophies and numerous hilarious calamaties. A good little flick! (8/10) HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE Stars: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Michael Gambon. Returning for the sixth film, the hogwalts favorite kids are growing up and this film is definitely the weakiest in the franchise so far with a rather lame and slow, often boring outing! (6/10) NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2 Stars: Ben Stiller, Robin Williams. More Mayhem in the museum with Stllier and Williams hamming it up, as only they can with a likeable romp that will put a smile on your face – maybe?! (7/10) PUBLIC ENEMIES Stars: Johnny Depp, Christian Bale This Michael Mann (Heat) directed movie is a down 'n dirty ganstar flick with plenty to like with very good performances by both leading men, even if Bale is his usual 'wooden' self with the film unfortunately, dragging a bit due to it's length! (7/10) 2012 Stars: John Cusack , Danny Glover, Woody Harrelson. While there are some cool CGI moments with death and destruction, this film is the weakest by director Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, Gozilla) with too much time with the heroes and not nearly enough mayhem! (6/10) FUNNY PEOPLE Stars: Adam Sandler, Seth Rogan, Eric Banna Definitely doesn't live up to the expectations - considering the people involved, this should have been a riot - instead it's one of the turkeys of the year! Eric Banna shows up 15 minutes from the end – what a dud! (2/10) INGLORIOUS BASTERDS Stars: Brad Pitt, Christopher Waltz. Quinten Taritino delivers a film that all the right stuff - to appreciate his genius – all over again with an excellent cast and great story telling, full of bravdo and black humour! Easily one of the year's best! (9/10) FAMILY GUY – SOMETHING SOMETHING SOMETHIN DARK SIDE Stars: Seth MacFarlane, Seth Green. Following up their hilarious 'Blue Harvest' – the Griffins again deliver a side splitting rendtion of The Empire Strikes Back with the same outcome – simply wonderful entertainment! (9/10) THE TAKING OF PELAM 123 Stars: John Travolta, Denzil Washington This high octaine contempory rendition, is actually the third adapation of this film/story and while both Travolta and Washington give great performances – the original 1974 version is still the best! (7/10) RAMBO Stars: Slyvester Stallone, Julie Benz. Good old Sly delivers an 'old school' styled film which is the meatiest and best RAMBO film yet - with more blood and guts than ever before with a good supporting cast including Benz (Dexter) looking as cute as ever! Can't wait for Sly's next film, 'The Expendables' - later in 2010! (8/10) |
