Elysium - 5/10

And that's generous. I honestly expected more and was a little disappointed. Good for a once off watch of mindless entertainment, I guess.

I'd score it somewhat better, somewhere between 6 - 6.5, i really enjoyed the action and the Saffricans were excellent.

Chef - 5/10

A light hearted comedy about a chef who gets fired and makes his dreams come true.

You should add 2 more points because of Sofia Vergara and Scarlet Johansson.

 

[Maverick Jester]

They haven't really been good since X2 IMO. The Wolverines were rubbish, X3 was confusing and First Class was a mess.

I actually enjoyed First Class.

Not even for those reasons, it was much better than a 5. I enjoyed it. It was a bit of a shambles as a movie, but the amiability of the cast and the incredible food photography were worth watching.

Pacific Rim - 6/10

Cliche storm but I like it. Could've done without Charlie Day acting exactly the way he does in Sunny in Philadelphia.

It really wasn't a great movie if I'm honest. At times it felt like a Twitter commercial. The plot was all over the place and had no dramatic tension at all. Plus we're really meant to believe that fat slob fired chef could pull Scarlett Johansson and Sofie Vergara? But it was so friendly and watchable I just couldn't hold any of it against it.

A Million Ways to Die in the West - 6.5/10

Funny movie. "Take your hat off boy! That's a dollar bill!"

Old Boy
7/10
Something totally different.
Kept me watching till the end despite some over the top violence and silly 1970's style fight scenes.

There's a Korean, original version, and a newer, English version.

The Josh Brolin version. Good actor. I wish he could be in more action features.
