Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift

7/10

Its rubbish really. The story is pathetic and the set pieces are unbelievable (the Japanese Yakuza settling a problem with some punk kid by having a car race? I dont think so), but the only reason you would go to see this film is for the cars anyway and the races all look great. It was as fun to watch as the other two, possibly even better than #2 and there is a nice surprise at the end for fans of the series.

If you are wanting some great acting, a heart wrentching story and some brilliantly detailed drama, then this isnt for you. If you want Japanese girls in short skirts driving customised sports cars then I think you'll love it.

Watched Gremlins 2 the other night really funny film especially the gremlin that drinks the brain drug.

Wished they'd make another one!

9/10

Maniac Cop III - passable, entertaining enough and more fun than most of the Friday the 13th movies. 5.7/10

Sounds a bit like Remains of the Day.

----------------------------------------

Wonder Boys - Just meanders along and doesn't really do anything or be particularly funny or interesting. 2.2/10

Age of Innocence - This was going along pretty good, with this young lawyer guy engaged to Winona Rider. He kind of reminded me of Grix. Anyways, they eventually marry and although he somewhat tries to resist it, he falls in love with a childhood sweetheart, Michelle Pfeiffer, who's separated and really wanting to divorce her vulgar Italian husband.

Just when he's about to make a break for a distant land to be with his lover and free of conforming to social expectations and protocol, his wife (Winona) announces that she's pregnant. GAH!

So, he's devastated and gives up his dreams of consorting with his mistress for the family life. Years pass and Winona dies of infectious pneumonia after nursing him back to health from it. His son becomes an architect and is hired by none other than the mistress and he wants to reunite his father with her.

He just walked away. Why did he just walk away?? :'( That kinda p****d me off. It would have been nice to see her again, no? GAH!

7/10

Hard Candy - Was good though not exactly an enjoyable watch, one scene stuck out in particular and had me wincing all the way through. Wasn't too keen on the ending either, I wanted to know more about the girls character. 7/10

Just seen Green Street, and though I thought Football Factory was quite good, it toppled it. Unbelievably violent, but unexpectedly brilliant. See it

Saw it here, but be warned, when the play catches up with the loading you'll need to leave it a few minutes on pause or it'll just judder around.

Quite a few decent movies on that site, but they're not all the best.. some don't load and others, such as Borat, are in Russian

King of New York - so-so crime movie with a load of big names. Jut about interesting enough, hasn't aged that well. 6.6/10

Body Count - Friday the 13th clone. Too much mu££ and guff and nothing of any interest. ending was funny if you like Hannah-Barbera cartoons. 2/10

Children of Men : 7/10

It was all good up until the end.

That'd be 'A cat in the brain'

It's just a bunch of unused footage from other films linked together to try and make some kind of cohesive storyline. In the end though it's just a load utter nonsense, complete waste of time.

Saw over the hedge the other night, really enjoyed it as the plot was simple and the comedy moments great :D

9/10
