This is the original french film that came before hollywood copied it for The Next 3 Days.
Its a shame I did not watch this before that as the acting by the leads was truly awesome!
It was more fast paced and the latter made movie was much more dragged out.
Will give this a score of 8...perhaps a 9 had I not have seen the story before!

A movie I was so desperate to see, but unfortunately I missed it in April.
It was really really good! A little complicated, but easier to follow than Inception. In fact I even thought it was the better film also.
Jake Gylenhall is outstanding; his acting prowess really has improved greatly.
The ending is sublime, and I admit some parts were a little emotional.

Bad Teacher
Cameron Diaz really sizzles in this comedy role. It suits her pretty well and she is very infectious.
What is disappointing in my opinion is the lack of support from co-stars who aren't able to gel with her.
The plot is simple, the gags could have been funnier. They could have had someone better than Justin Timberlake.
Not a bad movie; shame the best bits were in the trailers!

August Undergrounds Mordum
A truly disgraceful snuff movie about a group of people who go on a killing rampage.
The purpose of it is to shock the audience and that it does do. There are lots of disturbing moments which are just too controversial to mention in this blog.
It all is a bit too much to handle.
Watch at your peril. Rated 8 for disgustung factor!

Murder Set Pieces
A film that was banned in the UK. Had to see what the fuss was all about.
Acting was dire. Lots of gore, but it failed to disturb me. It just didn't look very real.
There was one really truly disgusting part in it.... The horrific murder of a child. That certainly left its mark on me.
Avoid at all costs, even if you are a horror fan!

Point Blank
Action packed french thriller here. Beautifully paced and very effective.
Excellent acting performances by all. Not seen the main leads in a film before. This is showing at a cinema near you so go down and watch this good piece of cinema.
All the time you are on the edge of your seat - 8!

Mothers Day
Rebecca De Mornay returns as a psycho yet again in this thriller/horror which is surprinsingly solid.
I went into the theatre expecting dire acting performances, but they were pretty good.
Yes there were a few flaws and I say this over and over again...which movie does not have any goofs in it?
Its a good thriller which in my opinion should have been given a better marketing.
Score of 7 from me!

Cannibal Holocaust
Dating back to 1980, this has been named one of the most controversial movies ever made.
It was a very interesting build-up and with it being filmed on a handheld, it gave it a very real portrayal.
Some shocking stuff in here; it all goes downhill after the turtle slaughter.
9 for the shock factor.... Chilling stuff!

Rango
A movie I missed when I was on my long trip abroad. Watched this today on our lazy sunday afternoon.
The animation was really superb and the story was good too. Sme of the references were tongue in cheek and jokes were quite adult! Not really sure whether or not the makers had kids in mind.
My eldest got a little bored of it to be honest, but I really liked it. I think its suited to kids over the age of 10. Small children will not understand as the dialogue is quite complex.
Rating: 7

Little Fockers
Following on from Meet The Parents and Meet The Fockers, this is the 3rd movie.
Robert De Niro is very good as always as the suspicious father in law. Unfortunately there were less gags in this and they didn't really make me burst out in laughter.
Nevertheless it was still a decent watch. Jessica Alba plays a good over the top cameo.
Going to rate this a 6

Aftermath
Shocking 30 minute spanish film here without any dialogue. About a person who works at a morgue. The main theme being Necrophilia with gore. One can figure out what happens!
It's extremely sick and quite different from what i've seen before. As I said in a previous post, will be seeing some movies like these! It all sparked off due to the controversy surrounding the sequel to The Human Centipede.
I am going to give this a score of 9 on the disturbing scale!

X Men : First Class
This is an excellent prequel to the movies that have gone before. It mainly charts the life of Charles Xavier and how he became Professor X. James McAvoy plays the role extremely well as the young professor.
It's quite cool how the X Men all came about and it was quite interesting. The kids played excellent roles too.
Special effects were also very good andwe are just waiting for the makers to develop another prequel!
A well deserved rating of 8.5

Salo (120 days of Sodom)
I've recently started to become more and more interested in extreme cinema and this is apparently one of the disturbing movies that cropped up time and again during some research.
Its very disturbing, wierd and strange and not really recommended for anyone with a faint heart.
Watch out for some reviews coming up of films along these theme!
As far as shocks go, this is quite twisted, but I have seen worse!
7.5 (on this disturbing scale)
