Public Enemies

July 21, 2009

Michael Manns epic gangster drama. Depp is as enigmatic as ever, the handheld camera seemed out of place for a period movie but it was well directed and tense in the right places.

Terminator Salvation

Arnie-less Terminator movie (although…) which follows the grown up John Connor as he takes down skynet.

Great action sequences! At least…

The Air I Breathe

May 31, 2009

Cool crossover drama with four stories that interconnect Altman style. Good performances and well put together.

Here we get the story of Wolverine and how he came to be. Well, almost – not much about how he came to have those cooool claw thingys but lots of back story on the brotherly love side of things and how he was experimented upon etc. I wasn’t expecting too much but it was a neat movie – of course Wolverine is the coolest of all the X Men so it was a given, but it still delivered.

Dead Silence

April 29, 2009

Pretty creepy horror about ventriloquists dolls. You gotta admit they are scary things at times… This follows a series of gruesome murders and the link via an old lady who was a vent and her dolls.

Kinda cool. Not too cheesy and with a really great twist at the end.

Monsters vs Aliens 3D

April 25, 2009

Got to see this with Ben. Can’t go wrong with a monster movie in 3D really.
It’s great. Good b movie style plot, fun characters and good gags as well as some of the most immersive 3D I’ve seen yet. Excellent.
