Dead Or Alive

Based on the video game of the same name. Lots of fit birds doing kung-fu, what more could you ask for! The story is a bit thin but who cares?

Spiderman 3

This film is woeful. Wish I'd never watched it.

Paycheck

I knew this would be bad, and it was. Ben Affleck is crap, the story is crap, and what is Uma Thurman doing in there ??! This film is like a really poor version of Minority Report.

The Departed

Loadsa hype. Basically, this is Gangs of Boston - a bunch of Irish-Americans going around killing each other and settling scores.

Mission Impossible : 3

Bah! Not a very good film. It's all just a vehicle for Tom Cruise and his winning smile.

Admittedly some of the special effects were quite good, like the attack on the bridge, but the story was a bit thin. Yet again there was an Irish dude in the movie ... what's going on? I thought they were all locked up in the Gulag. Best place for 'em, I say. Now if they could just round up the cast of Ballykissangel .... hmmm

Aeon Flux

I wasn't expecting much from this movie coz it got bad reviews. Maybe that's why I thought it was okay. Or maybe it was Charlize Theron running around in a tight outfit that did it ...?

Black Hawk Down

I really enjoyed this film. There's about 10,000 hell-raising niggas with guns chasing the Americans around Mogadishu and kicking butt.
Apparently, only about 19 Americans got killed against 1000 Somalis, but for the Yanks that's the same as losing.

Runaway Jury

AH, I'm always suspicious about these not-so-famous films full of famous names. In this one we have Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman and John Cusack. So it was an interesting story with a slight twist at the end, but what the hell was DH doing in it? he was a lame duck. And GH was his usual angry character. I'm convinced now that there are old actors, and there are bold actors, but there ain't no old & bold actors.

The Manchurian Candidate

Move along please - nothing to see here. Oh all right then, if I must. Where do I start ...
First of all, they stuck in Denzel Washington (pronounced DEN-zel) to give it some credibility, but he's a bit lame. He plays a Gulf War soldier who was brainwashed. Hey - who cares! At least we've moved on from the Vietnam era. Now the Americanos get to tell the same stories all over again but in a different place. Yay for Hollywood! And at the end of the day, isn't that what it's all about?
