The Help - 8/10


What a lovely movie. I took it out cause I have heard about it and iirc the reviews was very good. Was one of those movies where I was like uhhming and aahing for like 20 minutes wondering if I should take it or not. Same thing happened with "Little Miss Sunshine". Heard good things about it...but did not particularly want to see it. AND THEN TURNED OUT TO LOVE IT!

I have to admit.....a tear or two were shed for ol Constantine. Damn...that scene just broke my heart.

I thought it was a great watch and do not regret taking out "The Help" one single bit. The Help and Dark Shadows the only movies I actually really enjoyed and loved every mintute of it in 2012. All the other movies I kinda just sat through seeing that I paid for the damn thing.

The Help...get it.....it is a little gem.

The house at the end of the street - 6/10. Psychological Thriller. Had a few frights. Could have been better, but enjoyed it.
Alex Cross - 7/10. Action thriller. Was good, also, found it lacked something. The baddie was like really scary to me.
Twilight - POS 2/10. Waste of time.

Cold Light of Day - 6/10. Meh, same old story. And if you've seen the preview you've basically seen all the Bruce Willis parts :(

End of Watch - 8/10 ..... pretty decent even if the camera work irritates you at the start, lol

Sinister - 7/10 ..... pretty damn sinister, especially at 1am, with a door at your back :wtf:

Savages - 5/10 - only good was the acting of Benicio del Toro (the cartel enforcer), the three main "actors" were hopeless

The Dark Knight Rises - 8/10 A meaty story, great special effects and lots of action.

The Dark Knight Rises - 7/10 (Not as awesome as The Dark Knight, poor writing, too many plotholes, terrible pacing and Anna Hathaway).

I would also give it a 7/10.

I have not watched any Bond movie before, and just thought it lacked some kind of X factor that I was somehow expecting.

Skyfall is a follow up on the previous two Danial Craig movies. So yes. Your opinion is invalid.

Expendable 2 -3/10 shocking movie. Plot is horrendous and the pay off lines like ' ill be back ' are stupid and moronic.
