Gerry 3/5 (R)
Rather like Tony Takitani and Van Sant's Last Days I ended up liking this much more than I thought I would whilst I was actually watching it. Long, drawn out beautiful shots that regularly test the patience and seemingly no real plot often make it (I was going to say difficult to watch, but it's very easy on the eye) appear boring.
It's probably a case with all of these films that they are pieces of art rather than entertainment.

Tony Takitani 2.5/5 (R)
Actually I quite liked this but I was too tired, it was too slow and despite only being 75 minutes it seemed far too long so I didn't actually enjoy it.

Tombstone 2/5 (R)
Occasionally feels like it's suddenly going to get very good, but then never does. There also seemed to be something wrong (I assume) with this version which made it look like a cheap TV film which was distracting. Val Kilmer was great though.

Babel 3/5 (C)
Starts off okay but after the first hour just drags. Doesn't seem to say much either and is somewhat predictable (although that may be due to what was shown in the trailer).
There are some good bits; the Mexican wedding, most of the Japanese story but even the latter doesn't fit too well with the rest of the film.

The Man Who Sued God 3/5 (R)
Enjoyable but the necessary fluffy ending was always going to be a disappointment. And shame about all the swearing!

The Long Goodbye 3/5 (R)
Great update of the Marlowe character but the slow pace drags the film out so that the many stand out scenes end up being too diluted.

Dead Poet's Society 3.5/5 (D)
It's an average film throughout but that ending is always going to get me, even this time when I told myself it wouldn't.

Spk Kids 3D: Game Over 1/5 (R)
The only good thing in this film is Sylvester Stallone's acting (which is a phrase I never thought I'd ever use) and some 3D effects (which are redundant without the glasses).
An awful film that ruins the Spy Kids franchise and further misrepresents gaming in the world of cinema.
