Bright Star 2/5 (R)

Thought this would be better

Flame and Citron 2.5/5 (R)

Mamma Mia 3.5/5 (R)

The Angel's Share 4/5 (C)

Hard Eight 3/5 (R)

Disappointing, too slow but great climax.

The Inbetweeners Movie 3/5 (D)

Prometheus 4/5 (C)

Imax 3D. With low expectations from having avoided all the hype I ended up enjoying this more than I thought I would. Messy in places but overall good and getting more convinced by IMAX with every film I see.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes 3/5 (R)

50/50 3.5/5 (D)

I'd have preferred the other ending.

The Raid 2.5/5 (C)

It's good but wasn't really for me

How To Get Ahead In Advertising 3.5/5 (R)

Still surprisingly relevant more than 20 years later.

High School Musical 3 3/5 (R)

Uzak 3/5 (R)

The Reader 3.5/5 (R)

Britain In A Day 4.5/5 (R)

Brilliant work again. I hope these films start happening on a regular basis.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 4/5 (R)

All that good work is still undone by 30 minutes of pointless endings. I wish there was a less than three hour edit of the entire trilogy, think that might be really good.

Big Trouble In Little China 2.5/5 (R)

First time I've seen this, perhaps you had to have seen it in the 80s to have grown any affection towards it.

Cell 221 4/5 (D)

This is good but I'm surprised it won the @keswickfilm festival audience award.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 4/5 (R)

Started thinking that the Lord Of The Rings films would have been better as a TV series. This film definitely seems to be split into a number of different episodes.

Dorian Gray 2.5/5 (R)

The Crimson Wing 3/5 (R)

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 3.5/5 (R)

As expected I liked it a lot more than I remembered the first time around. Still difficult to see what all the fuss is about (i.e topping public polls of greatest films of all time) and also explaining what my problems are. It gets a lot better once the Fellowship is formed which makes me think it would be a better film overall if that first 90 minutes had been heavily edited down.

Star Trek 3.5/5 (R)

Call Northside 777 3/5 (R)

The Bridge on the River Kwai 4/5 (R)

The Evil Dead 4/5 (C)

Brothers Of The Head 3/5 (R)

Ashes Of Time: Redux 3/5 (R)

Beautiful looking but I really need to be more awake when watching films like this to fully appreciate them.

Moneyball 4/5 (D)
