Bullet to the Head

Missed the cinema release just caught up with it on DVD.

Am a big Stallone fan but this did not quite rock my boat. Weak plot and it was not that much fun to watch either.

The pace was steady as the film went from killing after killing. It reminded me of Another 48 hours!

Nothing new here and i'm glad I didn't waste a theatre trip!

Fast and Furious 6

Saw the extended trailer for this and it did not excite me one bit.

However, lots of people have enjoyed the film so decided to give it a go. Yes, it's full of cliches but the actual action content was worthy of note and the plot was believable and interesting as well.

Once more, the ending is left as such that a 7th movie is on the cards and if it was anything as good as this, I'm sure there will not be any complaints.

Solid 7.

Hangover III

Poor poor effort by everyone involved in this. I was sorely disappointed by the lack of jokes and weak plot especially after the tremendous initial film of the trilogy.

It just felt as though none of the actors wanted to be there. The theatre was very quiet at each gag meaning it was just not funny.

A huge letdown.

Mud

Had high hope for this movie which started out very well. It soon became clear that the young lad, Tye Sheridan was the real star of this as opposed to Matthew McConaughey or Reese Witherspoon.

As the film dragged out, my interest started to wane and I became more disinterested in the plot. I was expecting a much major twist to the end and it was just a melodram for me in the end.

It's a bit of an indie movie, and not for everybody. I felt it was a tad overlong.

Fine acting by Matthew McConaughey though.

Star Trek Into Darkness

Enjoyable follow up with the new set of characters bought in for this second installment from the 2009 follow-up.

The mood is fast paced and you don't have to be a sci-fi fan to enjoy this.

Acting is good, but I am sure lovers of the old series will be quick to moan about it. It did not feel overlong at all at over 2 hours long. Some of the acting by the lesser known actors was a little wooden.

Whilst this was good, the first was better. Lets see what the third has to offer!

Iron Man 3

It's a disappointing start to the month of May.

I was expecting this to be decent at least, but infact it was unbelieveably boring with a weak story and plot.

The actual IRONMAN superhero gets very little screen time; the movie should have instead been called TONY STARK.

I watched this in 2D - it was not made for 3D and I heard it was quite pointless. It is just a moneyspinner!

A good thing I feel is that the actual Ironman story has come to the end, there is no chance of a 4th...or is there?

21 And Over

Terrible terrible movie which is just not funny AT all.

It says its from the writers of the Hangover Movies but I just do not believe it!

Not going to waste any time discussing this - just do me a favour and don't watch!
