A brave move by producers by throwing Bradley Cooper in the deep end with his first release in a major role.
A good move in my opinion - this really has pulled the crowds in. On a quiet tuesday night, the screen was almost packed - good sign!
Good action, tension - yes there are loopholes - there always are! But still very entertaining and the way it ends - quite possibly a sequel on the cards? Who knows...
Did enjoy this - but now a long break from it all as I won't be watching a movie until the month of May - so be sure to tune back then!
Oh, a respectable 8 for this good effort by Mr Cooper :D

The Lincoln Lawyer
Coolness defined = Mr Matthew McConaughey. I mean the guy is just so smooth! Played an excellent role here. Its a movie I really enjoyed. It was funny, was action-packed and I like the court/legal side of it too - it was very appealing. Marisa Tomei supporting was awesome too - she has never had the credit she deserves.
Might be the break into more serious roles for him. I hope so because he is a talented actor.
Good solid all round entertainment.
8 from me for this great effort!

Another Liam Neeson cat and mouse film here. Don't know why, but seems as though all the films he does are all the same - look at Taken.
Far-fetched, but no doubt still quite a thrill ride. There are typical hollywood cliche moments and some very ditzy ones too.
My only complaint was this was far too long, would have been a lot better had it have only been an hour and a half or so.
Not bad - 7

The Adjustment Bureau
A new film starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt which is a romcom with a bit of science-fiction blended in.
The concept is far-fetched, but works well. I think Americans love the british accent so much, it will probably do really well at the boxoffice just because of it!
Their chemistry works well, but towards the ending, I was starting to think what the whole point of it really was.
It is just a romcom with a twist at the end of the day!
A score of 7 for Mr Damon. I think the movie would seriously lack had he not have been in it!

Inside
French thriller from 4 years ago. Was in the mood of watching a gory horror film so picked up this tout movie which came as a recommendation.
Was only 80 minutes long but boy did it have me gagging. It was immensly gory, suffocating and claustrophobic.
It is not until the end when the plot unravels and is a very simple movie but made with a lot of conviction and courage.
It's a sad ending and does leave a ver bad taste in the mouth.
Not for the light hearted! 8.5!

Tron Legacy
Visually stunning sequel to the disney film of the Eighties, Tron.
Saw it in 2D as opposed to the 3D it was filmed in.
Found it very interesting; action scenes were good and so was the CGI and special effects. Not seen the young lad in a movie before, although I am told he made his debut in "Troy" many years ago.
Younger audiences may find it harder to understand the science fiction behind the story.
A good score of 7

West Is West
More funny capers from George Khan and his family. However some people disliked the sequel because it was not as funny. I quite liked it actually because of the more serious tone. Yes, there were some hilarious bits, but it was not overwhelming.
It was filmed in Pakistan which gave a different setting to the usual "Salford" and it worked very well; a bit of culture never did anyone any harm...
Did enjoy it, but I think that was the end and we won't be seeing them again!
Solid 8 from me

Morning Glory
Cute drama starring my favourite Harrison Ford and the lovely Rachel McAdams.
Some very hilarious moments in this. The chemistry between the two is really good and it worked a treat. The main focus of the story is them and the pace is comfortable.
Rachel's character is so loveable! Makes you just want to go give her a hug and hold her hand :-)
I really did like this, a score of 9 from me.
Cinema trip tomorrow, West is West... Need I say anymore???

Animal Kingdom
Tough and gritty Australian crime drama which feels very raw and real-life.
It is slow to start, but does slowly draw you in. Might I add; it won't be everybody's cup of tea.
The finale is shocking and will startle you!
Some great worthy acting performances from relative unknowns.
Solid 7.5
