IMDB Link

2nd up is The Day The Earth Stood Still

Pile of tosh!!
What a waste of time! The story starts so well with the first half hour (maybe less) building up your hopes but from that point it turns into complete and utter Tosh (Tosh as the swear filter would have a field day)
0.5/10

Directed By : Ryuhei Kitamura

Struggling photographer Leon Kauffman's obsessive pursuit of the dark subject matter leads into the path of a serial killer, Mohogany (Vinnie Jones), the subway murderer who stalks the late-night commuters - ultimately butchering them in the most gruesome ways possible................................

Body of Lies UK Certificate 15

Genre : Action/Thriller

Directed By : Ridley Scott

Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio) is the best man US intelligence has on the ground, in places where human life is worth no more than the information it can get you. In operations that take him around the globe, Ferris' next breath often depends on the voice at the end of a secure phone-line - CIA veteran Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe).
Waging war from a laptop in the suburbs, Hoffman is on the trail of an emerging terrorist leader who has orchestrated a campaign of bombings while eluding the most sophisticated intelligence network in the world. To lure the terrorist out into the open, Ferris will have to penetrate his murky world. But the closer he gets to the target, the more he discovers that trust is both a dangerous commodity and the only thing that will get him out alive...

Superb acting and Gripping storyline in this Film by Ridley Scott....Excellent special effects compliment.

9/10

Max Payne UK certificate 15

harder cut DVD

Genre : Action/Crime

Directed by : John Moore

Based on the video game from Rockstar, MAX PAYNE stars Mark Wahlberg as a New York City cop out to avenge his slain wife and child, and heaven help anyone who gets in his blood-strewn way. The trail leads him into a network of shady characters mixed up with an experimental drug that causes super strength and fearlessness, as well as wild hallucinations of winged angels and demons. As Max gets closer and closer to the truth, he finds himself the target of a massive police manhunt, and in the crosshairs of the powerful kingpin behind the racket; soon enough, the angels and demons become downright deadly. Olga Kurylenko (QUANTUM OF SOLACE) is a beautiful Russian party girl who winds up dead after a late-night visit to Max's pad; her assassin sister (Mila Kunis) first goes after Max, then tries to help him get some answers.

An interesting look on the original PC Game.....Good Acting & gripping storyline....Well directed with some good special effects. The DVD is a harder cut than that shown in the cinemas.

8/10
