The Crazies: 6.5/10 - I probably would've scored it higher if the people in the cinema had the courtesy of shutting up and watching the movie instead of talking to their friends.... loudly!! Anyhoo it's Resident Evilish in it's plot with people becoming zombie-ish and the government trying to quarantine the infected area. I still don't know where I stand on Tim Olyphant's acting, but it's worth a watch if that's up your alley. I normally enjoy this type of movie, but the inconsiderate clowns watching with us pretty much ruined the "atmosphere".

Paranormal Activity: 8.5/10 - Now this is more a psychological horror.... You never see what is causing the problems, instead it is portrayed through sound. It is to do with an "entity" that has been following this girl around no matter where she goes. Her boyfriend has been let in on this as they are starting to experience oddities in their current home, so he buys this fancy camera in an attempt to "capture" the happenings on camera. It is filmed as a "found footage" so the first shot you see is through his cam and so goes the rest of the movie. When I first watched it I thought it was real due to the timestamping etc... so was actually that much better to watch. Was kind of let down when I realised it was just a movie.
 
Eat Pray Love - 6/10 very long movie, slow paced and never really understood what the main actress's problem actually was. Surprised I watched the whole thing.
 
I love you too - 8/10

Typical love story but considering it is of aussie origin it is one of the best i have seen.
 
X-men 6/10
Cool to now know the story, but toad was such a lame character
 
The Social Network - 4/10 Boring!

The Kid (2010) - 9/10 Brilliant!

Inception - 9/10 Christopher Nolan at his best! Loved it. (I shoulda watched it on big screen!)
 
Pandorum: 7/10 - A Event Horizon-esque type movie with Dennis Quad. Some of a ship's crew awake (prematurely) from some form of cryo-stasis to find they are not alone on their ship....

Cashback: 7.5/10 - A romantic comedy of sorts (you normally won't find me anywhere near these) based in the UK. A guy studying Arts goes through a breakup and as a result, can't sleep. He decides he needs to find a way to make time pass quicker as all he spends his waking moments thinking of is his now ex. Starts working in a supermarket in the "graveyard" shift as a means of getting "cash back" for his time awake. It is not a soppy movie, and pending your type of humour, quite funny. DON'T watch with kids around...
 
Sherlock Holmes 7/10
well done

Tpex, are you a follower of the novels? The only reason I didn't watch this was due to me being told by quite a few people that this was nothing like Sherlock Holmes...

yes I read one or 2, thats pretty much it, Watson isn't a bumbling fool and Sherlock is caste as a struggling genies (for lack of a better word) who likes fighting...
 
The Expendables 7/10 -Solid hand to hand combat choreography
+1 with Eden Lake.Those kids were baaaad.
 
The Kingdom 7.5/10
Thrilling and a bit thought provoking
 
Sukiyaki western django - I cannot rate it cause I was wtf-ing through the whole thing. Everything is over the top, the bad and the good. Miike you bastard you.
 
-Body Of Lies (2008) 7/10
Good action thriller. Average first half and a better second half.
