Added Sorry, Baby to Watched Movies

Rated Tron 4/10

A reliance on special effects make this a disappointing watch. Initially nostalgic, then just obsolete.

Rated Terminator Salvation 5/10

John Connor returns to fight machines. Mildly entertaining despite being cliché ridden, occasionally very stupid and Christian Bale's most wooden performance to date.

Rated Mystic River 6/10

Childhood friends meet again after murder. Well made but we’ve been here many times before.

Rated The Animatrix 0/10

Rated The Happy Prince 0/10

Rated JCVD 4/10

Disenchanting heist movie. Jarringly post modern. Lacks necessary humour. This may work better on stage.

Rated Now You See Me: Now You Don't 0/10

Rated Salt 4/10

Somewhat enjoyable if humourless action flick. While it’s not predictable, it’s definitely a little stupid.

Rated Valkyrie 6/10

Enjoyable World War II drama set in Nazi Germany. Excellent cinematography nearly makes up for a pretty lightweight script. Valkyrie is played for the mass market so you'll be suitably entertained, even if you don't remember the storyline a week later.

Rated Scott Pilgrim vs. the World 8/10

8bit comic book chic hits the big screen. Funny and entertaining throughout. Quality geek greatness.

Rated King Corn 7/10

This is a charming little documentary exploring how America’s diet is based almost entirely on corn. We discover how this came about, and it's effect on the health of the nation. While the producers definitely have a strong view about the subject, you never feel that it is being shoved down your throat. Delightfully entertaining, yet pretty shocking.

Rated Zootopia 2 0/10

Rated Harry Brown 7/10

Pensioner Caine avenges gang intimation in this grim but outstanding thriller. Gran Torino with balls.

Rated A Minecraft Movie 0/10

Rated Norwegian Dream 0/10

Rated The Devil Wears Prada 0/10

Rated Everything Is Free 0/10

Rated Green Zone 8/10

Iraq War thriller that’s often as confusing as it’s subject. Superbly entertaining while staying smart.

Rated Due Date 5/10

Road movie with a deadline. A bit funny, but the characters are just too unlikable.

Rated Neds 7/10

Stark realism contrasted with some nice warm performances from a young cast.

Rated A Serious Man 8/10

This is a low-key Cohen Brothers yarn set in American '60s suburbia. Larry Gopnik is forced to question every one of his values as his life falls apart. Visually this is a pretty cold movie, but that juxtaposes very nicely against the heartwarming storyline. There's not a lot 'funny' about what is undoubtedly a comedy, but if you like gallows humour you'll get a lot from A Serious Man.

Rated Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest 8/10

Brilliantly touching documentary capturing the rise and fall of Quest. Heartfelt, subtle and masterly
