Review: Hot Tub Time Machine

There's not else to this film apart from the riffs and references to the movies of the 80s, so if you struggle telling your Buellers from your Breakfast Clubs - there's not much to recommend from this.

Review: Robin Hood

A lot has been made of Crowe's accent, my take on it is its just standard Northern really that is hardly funny like some have made out - its just really obvious that he's putting it on.

You could say the same about the film - there's just something about this that doesn't quite click, view any of the aspects in isolation and you'd say that was good yet towards the end of a two and half hours it gets quite boring as it becomes clear its all set up for a story you'll probably never see.

Review; Iron Man 2

The script is all over the place, and every 5 minutes a new character seems to turn up - but like the first movie you don't care about the failings when Iron Man 2 is such fun and at the least the raft of new characters gives Robert Downey Jr amble opportunity for the trademark banter and bickering alongside the big action sequences.

Review: Date Night

There was a point about through this where I had to check I was actually watching the right film and not 2008's Get Smart, so similar is Steve Carrell doing the whole bumbling around whilst exposing criminal activities thing. Tina fey takes Bill Murray's place this time around as the comic genius to be sadly wasted.

Review: How To Train Your Dragon

A sweet film that can't fail to go straight for the heart strings with its portrayal of the relationship between one man (here a Viking) and his dog (here a Dragon). The film looks likely to take the coveted '2nd Best Animated Film' place this year behind whatever Pixar release - but like Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs last year, this has come from nowhere and looks set to do great business on word of mouth recommendations.

Review: The Bounty Hunter

I think somehow this was actually worse than I was expecting. Aniston and Butler play unfunny and downright unlikable characters that we are meant to care about finally getting together at the end.

Review: Cemetery Junction

Catching every one unawares by switching from Gervais' recent run of Woody Allen wannabes, Cemetery Junction is more drama than comedy - the tale of three friends who dream of escaping Reading but are seemingly trapped.

That's not to say there's no shortage of comedic moments, and Gervais is great in his small cameo role. Plus though slightly familiar, the girl caught between two men is handled with the aplomb you'd expect from the guys behind The Office.
