Sharknado, one of the most poorly made films I've ever seen. I've never even held a video camera before and I bet I could make a better film

World War Z - Actually very enjoyable, if you divorce it from the book.

Pacific Rim:

Russell "Stringer" Bell has managed to get out of the game. He's gone clean, and now he commands a force of giant robots, assembled to defend the world from giant monsters coming out of an interdimensional portal at the bottom of the pacific ocean.
Stringer has put together a team of runners to assault the portal. As long as Omar doesn't interfere, they might be able to stop the monster attacks.
Unfortunately, you can take the player out of the game, but you can never take the game out of the player, and an illegal wiretap could bring Stringer down before he can save the world.

Great monster flick, could have used more drugs, some of that WMD maybe. 8/10

I enjoyed it.
A bit more of the global stuff would have been good - North Korea for example - I'd have loved to have seen that
It's a shame the last act was so small in scale compared to everything else - it was lake a well made made for tv episode tacked onto the end of a blockbuster.

Maniac. Slasher film about a serial killer with mommy issues who scalps his victims. All shot from the killer's POV. It's a neat trick although it's used much more effectively in Peep Show. This film is pretty brutal and misogynistic even by slasher movie standards. It's technically well made and the director clearly knows how to build tension but the violence really put me off and I'm not at all squeamish. The soundtrack appears to have been lifted from straight Drive.

Pacific Rim
Not entirely my cup of tea, but well made.
Fight scenes were intelligible (I'm looking at you Michael bay)
That lad from The Unit - does he ever play any other character than a soldier of some sort?

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Pacific Rim was good fun

That kid Raleigh though, he's a maverick. Tends to follow instinct rather than orders. He's dangerous, but he could also be the key to beating these monsters.

Identity Thief. Not the worst film I've ever seen by any means.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Broken. British coming of age drama about a teenage girl with family issues. A bit like Fishtank but not as good. Decent performances - Tim Roth and Cillian Murphy lend it some weight - but it's nothing new and the dramatic gearshift towards darker territory near the end feels a little unconvincing. Not bad but Fishtank and Notes on a Scandal are better films of a similar ilk.

Watched Zodiac again

Cars 2. As bad as I thought it'd be. Pity about the cars, it would have made an ok spy film.

 

[Jim Daniels]

Watched Zodiac again

It is eminently re-watchable

 

[Lili Marlene]

A good story does not a good film make. Weeeeeaaakkk




Although maybe if you're into standup it might be great.

 

[Anthony]

About 10 minutes of Old Dogs. Torture.

Is Lauren Ambrose as hot as ever?
