The Hurt Locker [DVD] [2008]
Amazon Price: £7.00
Used Price: £6.00
Average Customer Rating: 3.5
Review (rating: 3):
Well this got several Oscars awards but it was certainly only worthy of a 3 star rating.

Story clearly quite topical and relevant on Iraq etc, but made me think it was a take off of the Deer Hunter a Far Far better film on brother in arms inter relationships and dealing with returning home. Direction and camer...

Review (rating: 2):
Dissapointed with this film.

The trailers made it look like a serious epic. High drama, no expense speared film.

However, i did not know weather or not to take this film seriously. Thought the graphics were poor. The story line was poor.

I got the impression there was a hidden message in the story line. T...

Sherlock Holmes [DVD] [2009]
Amazon Price: £9.95
Average Customer Rating: 4.0
Review (rating: 3):
The big mystery with this film is how Guy Ritchie got all the tough stuff nailed and then flunked the easy part. The character development, script and build up is all handled incredibly well. This is the usual failing of most blockbusters and is often cobbled together as an afterthought. But look here - is that real chemistry I ...

Amazon Price: £5.99
Used Price: £8.85
Average Customer Rating: 3.5
Review (rating: 1):
Could have been good, but ends up as a pointless violence fest. One of the few movies I have seen on the big screen where I have felt like walking out on it.

2012 [DVD] [2009]
Amazon Price: £9.85
Average Customer Rating: 3.0
Review (rating: 4):
Ok, so the science is wonky. Dare I say it, it is actually fictitious! Yes that's right. 2012 isn't a science documentary. Its a piece of cinema designed to entertain you. And it works too. I don't like long films normally, at least not at the cinema, when you can't pause it to visit the loo. But I found this entertaining throug...

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant [DVD] [2009]
Amazon Price: £7.98
Used Price: £7.30
Average Customer Rating: 3.5
Review (rating: 4):
I've only read the first book in the series and that was generally dealt with in the first half of the film so I don't know how the rest of the adaptation goes but viewers shouldn't always relate the films to the books that inspired them. As a stand alone piece there was nothing wrong with this film at all, I ...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (1-Disc) [DVD] [2009]
Amazon Price: £5.00
Used Price: £3.05
Average Customer Rating: 3.0
Review (rating: 1):
The first transformers film was quite fun light entertainment; unlikely to win any acting awards, but the special effects were excellent and I was generally content. It was much of the same I was expecting with "Revenge of the fallen".

The special effects are again good, but the film is border-line unwatchabl...
