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.

If Buffy met Smallville you would get this.

The Black Dahlia 7.5/10
Pretty good, loses half a mark for Josh Hartnetts mumbletone voice.

Spirited Away 7.5/10
Not bad at all, very imaginative, colourful. Not sure what else to say other than it's more worthy of your time than Apocalypto.

Apocalypto 4/10
What a boring, pretentious, dumbed down*, w***fest that was. The longer it went on the more ridiculous it got. It's cardinal sin though is that it has to try to be epic and soulful when it should be anyway and it still fails. The dialogue feels quite modern and out of place as well, hearing one of the tribe say "He's f***ed" sort of takes you back into the real world and thats something that should never happen when you've got a film as potentially interesting as this. Thats the only thing that saves it, despite how badly handled it is, the subject and the scenery just about makes it watchable.
Oh my god, i was typing this as i'm watching it and it just gets worse and worse. It's starting to feel like one of those American soap operas set in the jungle now. Please make it stop.
* Laughs *
Oh come on now, Mel, you're taking the pi**. This isn't The Matrix.

* Is it possible to be pretentious and dumbed down at the same time?

Kinky Boots - Couldn't wait for this to come out, I missed it first time round, and it looked very funny. Wasn'r quite what I expected, not everyone will find it funny but still very good! 8/10

Children of Men - couldn't get into this so switched off not even half way through. I was hoping it got better, and it probably did, but it was too slow to start.

Night at the Museum - enjoyed this more than I expected :) 9/10

Talledega Nights 7.5/10
Not bad at all really, SBC is great and the Highlander line at the end made me laugh.

10 Things I Hate About You 10/10.
Probably just classed as a chick flick but it's one of a collection of films I watch while ironing. Love the soundtrack and it has a cute Heath Ledger (sp) in it.

The Punisher 7/10
Main character comes over as a cross between Rambo and Christopher Lambert but just the usual 'comic' to 'film' transition. Travoltas' last couple of scenes were good.

Saw III - I enjoyed the film overall as I liked the 'story', but the shock scenes sometimes made my stomach turn, if not by wathing them, then by me imagining that stuff happening to me. Very brutal in places. 8/10

Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back - Finally saw this early this morning via DVD, absolutely hilarious stuff! Drug Dealers going on strike for a dental plan, a monkey, Luke Skywalker with a huge hand... oh yeah!
