Prometheus - Stylish, visually stunning, tense and totally gripping. Some unven performances but Fassbender is sublime.

The Descendants - Quirky, funny & charming even with difficult subject matter. Strong cast turns especially Clooney. 8/10

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story - As camp as Lee's own films but makes for nice light entertainment... with Kung-Fu! 6.5/10

Shame - Meandering, dull tosh. Acting isn't bad but the pace, editing & dialogue are piss-poor. Nearly walked out. 2/10

jackass 3 - More of the same but turned up to 11. Uses 3D as intended, as a full on gimmick. Gross but quite funny. 6/10

going the distance - inoffensive and charming rom-com if slightly vacuous. Mildly crass 2nd act lets the rest down. 5.5/10

Gremlins - Wonderfully dark monster comedy. Looks dated but oozes charm & character whilst capturing 80's zeitgeist. 8/10

Captain America: The First Avenger - A shameless ad for 'The Avengers' but a perfectly entertaining romp while it lasts.

the hangover part 2 - offensively awful sequel. A TOTAL rehash of the 1st film with added xenophobia. Utter bilge. 2.5/10
