Action packed and certainly very dark, what's all the fuss about Heath Ledger though? He's good, not astounding. The adult tone suits the material very well but the movie's too long while at the same time feeling cramped.

Great little movie, funny, touching and very warm. Well worth watching if you catch it on BBC Three some night (like I did).

Overwhelmingly cute and with a message too! I'm not normally a fan of Pixar's animation but I must admit to liking this one. Kudos to Ben Burtt too, the voices were amazing (not just lightsabers, eh Ben?).

Beatles' songs, great cinematography, Bono and Eddie Izzard! A rip roaring blast through the sixties from the point of view of Beatles' songs. A bit forced at times but nonetheless great.

Dense little film, not particularly outstanding but shot with authority and style. Viggo Mortensen, as ever, was amazing.

Straw Dogs 2! Well that's a little uncharitable but it's pretty fucking close. Yet another of Gary Oldman's I-do-the-blockbusters-so-I-can-do-these movies and he's pretty good in it. Paddy Considine on the other hand looks a bit stunned throughout. Grab it if you see it cheap.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones! Nineteen years in the making and not too shabby for it. Easily as good as the original trilogy (Lucas take note).

What a fantastic movie! As superhero movies go this is a belter. Robert Downey Jr. excels as Tony Stark. The storyline mixes comedy, drama and action in equal measure and is really strong because of it. It's a winning formula. Go see it!

Nice. That's about the best I can say. A talking (sort of) rat teaches a man to cook. Great...

Funny. If only for Billy Connoly's turn as a vicious squirrel. He's got a wee freakish twin on his back!

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. This could have been great, as it is it's a bit sucky. Shame.

Lots of suspense, great effects and quite fun but ultimately it's a bit disappointing.

The best film of 2007. A story of loss and obsession, that shows the unerring ability of mankind to destroy itself in the name of progression. See it. Now.

This was torture. Girls in stockings titillates for about five minutes, if you're fourteen, but it wears thin quickly when the plot it 'supports' is non existent. That half star is for Russell Brand.

Luc Besson has crafted a touching story that has you guessing for quite a bit, before reaching a wonderful conclusion. Angel-A is shot in black and white and benefits enormously from it.

It had a beginning, a middle but I'm buggered if I could find an end. Actually the plot was pretty flimsy too. Disappointing.

I am Beowulf/This is Sparta. Interchangeable? Sadly not, everyone thought this was brilliant. Except me, it's mediocre at best.

Boring, piss poor, fantasy nonsense. Robert DeNiro as Captain

Sexually repressed teenagers battle for the mimsy. What's more it's actually funny, as in funny for grown ups. Bizarre!

Ludicrous but immense fun, if you liked Crank you'll love this. What's more the crazy gun stuff is so outrageous you can't help but laugh.

Amazing film. Funny and cool in a seventies kind of way. What's the matter? Never taken a short cut?

All that hoo-hah Owen Wilson has had lately? It's because of his guilt at making this movie.

The effects are still great but have given way over the years to the story. Which, if I'm to be honest, is fucking brilliant. Everybody needs to own this movie.

Bill Murray thought he was making Lost In Translation II, sadly he wasn't. Watching this felt like getting into a warm bath after you'd banged your head.

'This is Sparta!', I need say no more. Gerard Butler cements his place in film history with one phrase. The movie's not too bad either.

Gary Oldman, permanantly pissed by all accounts, turns in a cracking performance as Dracula. The film is unimformly wooden in acting and sets but it suits the material well.

A simpleton, a girl and some guns. A great story of innocence and love. Gary Oldman shines as a corrupt detective.

Speeder bikes! Yay! Ewoks. Boo. A decent ending to the trilogy, except in the special edition.

A lucky break for Lucas, a great concept subsequently watered down in the sequels and utterly destroyed in the prequels.

A below average story is saved by Simon Pegg's natural charm and Dylan Moran's dry, laconic turn as Gordon. Thandie Newton however has all the charisma of a used tampon.

Simply the best film ever made. A science fiction love story that gets better with every viewing.
