Review: Salt

With a bunch of evil Russians on the loose looking to bring about Nuclear Armageddon, Salt is throwback to the early 90s spy action/thriller that seemed to have fallen by the wayside since a certain Mr. Bauer exploded onto our screens in 24.

Angelina Jolie is a strange choice to go all Jack Ryan, and unlike in Tomb Raider, she looks too frail in the lead role to ever really convince you that she's the one woman killing machine she's made out to be.

Salt suffers from thinking its smarter than it actually is - one twist is straight out of the Nikki and Paolo episode of Lost and to be honest, there were times you'd wonder if this was a plot for the spoof show Expose.

In the end, the only real mystery with Salt is where on the Earth did the sex scene that the trailer so heavily promotes end up? Seems like here's going to be some teenagers left a little disappointed by Salt for two reasons then...

Review: Extract

A disappointing return to workplace comedy from Mike Judge, Extract is mildly amusing throughout but an absence of any big laughs make it quickly forgettable. However, as a veteran of early Kevin Smith films, Ben Affleck knows how to play stoner barman Dean to steal the show.

Lost in Translation?

Looking at the all the extra features that come with US Releases of Recent Lost DVDs in the States, seems its not just a plane that's gone missing between continents.

Bet this is another thing they won't end up explaining properly either.

Review: Knight and Day

This film is all about shiny stuff, whether thats guns, cars, hair or teeth - but with Tom Cruise unsurprisingly being pretty good at playing someone a bit mental and a nice chemistry with Cameron Diaz (when she isn't shrieking and screaming) that holds your interest till the end, Knight and Day ends up actually being a step above most other action films this year that aren't called Inception.

Review: Inception

Was it just me, or was it slightly spoilt by the fact they kept changing the rules as they went along? First they just needed to fall to wake up, then it ended up need to be all lined up - and all the stuff with the totems, wasn't that meant to tell whether you were in someone else's dream? So the big cliffhanger still didn't answer the question it set?
