Review: Wanted

I would've enjoyed the movie a lot more without all the slow-mo bullet time nonsence. Mainly because it would've finished a hell of a lot sooner.

Review: The Town

Sadly a bit of a let-down from it's awesome trailer, The Town reverts too much to crime story cliché with its tale of bank robber meets girl but gets drawn back for one last job.

The heist scenes themselves are where the film excels, Affleck showing his skills as a director shooting them with a kinetic energy that's up there with Mann and Greengrass, but the talky bits in between just descend into a load of Bawston mumbling with Jeremy Renner popping doing the whole doesn't care if he lives or dies, adrenaline junkie with a gun thing from the Hurt Locker and being the best thing in it.

Review: RocknRolla

Released in 2008, in 2010 the idea of making money from real estate now seems equally as dated the idea of a Guy Ritchie Gangster movie itself - but despite being more than a bit clichéd and a little bit rubbish, its still entertaining rubbish thanks to an excellent cast supporting Gerard Butler in the lead role.

Review: Tyson

The Story of Mike Tyson in his own words, as Iron Mike himself is the only person to feature in this retelling of the heavyweight boxer's rise and fall. I would've preferred to hear more from the people surrounding Tyson as while to certain extent he was left hang himself showing his disgusting attitude to women, too many times it was glossed over quickly to move onto the next subject and the instances where clips of speech are together to create a sort of rhythmic pattern turns into sort of celebration of misogyny, which leaves a sour taste after.

Review: The Happening

It's no surprise the story is bobbins, after all M. Night Shyamalan's been working on the law of diminishing returns for a while now - what's more surprising is how bad the acting is considering it stars Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel, who have frequently proved before that they can both deliver the goods.

In the end The Happening becomes one of those special films that are so bad they're actually good with plenty of completely unintentional laugh out loud moments throughout to keep you entertained.
