"Yes, suffice to say, I love the Alien Trilogy. And no, we do not talk about the fourth one." - WatchingCattle gives his views on Ridley Scott's Prometheus.
"The tone of the film - the empty, emotionally detached, high and mighty preaching - all of this is the film. It’s hard wired into every scene and for the first hour at least, the film cannot escape the weight of its own overblown tone. And what’s more…it’s fucking boring."
"One undeniable thing about Australia is that it is amazing to look at. Tasmania is presented here as a vast, harsh and uninhabitable foreboding expanse of land. The scenery becomes a character in itself." - WatchingCattle on Australian thriller The Hunter.
"It won’t be to everyones’ taste but then people actually liked Transformers so what do I know about movies, or humanity for that matter. No omniplex will ever sell any popcorn to its audience." - WatchingCattle finds a moment of comfort in Pat Collins' Silence.
"The look of the film, the performances, the pace and even the script works and it stays with you. It is engaging and you can’t help but care about the lead characters and their plight." - WatchingCattle revisits his childhood with Les Geants.

"In short, this is one of the best - if not the best - films of the year so far and you should see it now." - WatchingCattle is impressed by The Imposter.
"Film Noir done properly..." - Andrew Dominik's Killing Them Softly.
"Bruce Willis is apparently only capable of playing Bruce Willis at this point, therefore Joseph Gordon Levitt has to do his best to play Bruce Willis and this he does extremely well."
