Piranha - Trash, but that's pretty much what they were going for by the looks of it. It was odd in a way because there wasn't a lot of killing and then suddenly 15 or so minutes of the biggest continuous bloodbath you're likely to see.
Tomorrow When The War Began - I do realise it's the first of a series of books, but as a movie it felt so under done. Still not sure how I feel about it. Found the constant interruption for narration a bit annoying. We don't need a recap every 15 minutes to tell us what the story is about. A theme should be delivered within the context of a story.
Legion - Surprised by it in a good way. Certainly won't be anything you haven't seen in regards to special effects/action, but there's enough in there to enjoy. Did well considering the inherent restriction that often comes with largely single location films.
How To Train Your Dragon - Now this one was a surprise, firstly because I watched it, second of all because I enjoyed it. Light entertainment.
Lake Placid 3 - Turned it off after 10 minutes. Probably took 9 1/2 minutes too long to hit stop.
Expendables - Was never going to be anything other than an 80's throwback and from that POV it didn't disappoint. Won't comment on the story because there really wasn't one, but it was fun.
Losers - A lot like Expendables, which also seemed like a regurgitated script from the A-Team, or maybe the other way around. Who knows which one came first. Really wasn't memorable.
Shank - Nice little English film about gangs running wild. I didn't like the direction, especially when things were added in like anime scenes and video game dog fights (although it was a creative way to get around low budget issues). Solid, but the additional creative elements were distracting from the story.
Iron Man 2 - Massive disappointment compared to the first. Enough said. Downey Jr was cringeworthy in this one (his character more than the acting. Thought it was very poorly written).
Centurion - Liked it. Characters weren't really developed as much as they could've been, but I doubt that's what they were going for. Nice story about survival behind enemy lines and some nice action too.
Karate Kid - Yes I'm biased because I grew up with the original, but for the life of me I can't figure out how anybody could think that was a good ending. I know they had to replace the crane with something, but come on, the one legged backflip head kick of doom? Aside from that I found it rather bland, and being a fan of the original I knew what dialogue was coming but they changed it only slightly which made it sound very awkward for me. Still - terrible ending.
Jonah Hex - Typical comic conversion. Wouldn't say it was good or bad. Quite short and not very memorable. Worth a look as long as you want light entertainment.
Ong Bak 3 - A drop off from the original, in both action and story. Would probably say that the best action came in the scenes that Jaa wasn't even involved in. Still, it concludes everything well enough. Worth watching if you can handle subtitles.
Family Guy: It's a Trap - a few jokes were hit and miss, but any fan of Family Guy will enjoy it.
Just noticed that Final Fantasy Spirits Within is on TV. Wow, how far have special effects come? Back when this movie first came out it was groundbreaking realism for 3d effects. Now it looks so unrendered and dated. Not as bad a movie as many critics said.
