Duplicity has some good twists however it was painful to watch in parts due to the lack of action and slow pace. I felt the movie could of either been condensed into a shorter film or some action scenes could of been added to keep the momentum going. All in all I rate this movie [...]

The International

Starts off as an exciting thriller however the script not the acting lets this film down. The multiple locations including Italy, France, Turkey, New York, London, Germany & Luxembourg adds sparkle to the film but it doesn’t compensate for the  story line. The ending was bad and abrupt 6.5/10

The Pink Panther 2

Another comedy remake of the classic Peter Sellers movie. A few laughs from Steve Martin like when he dressed up as the pope. This is a feel good movie but cant beat the original Pink Panther movies hence a rating of 6/10

Seven Pounds

A compelling tear jerker. This movie makes you realise that life is too short so no matter whats going on in your life you should embrace what you do have. Bring tissues. 7.5/10

Yes Man

Jim Carrey is almost back in his element in this feel good comedy. Some good pranks, romance, lots of laughter and an uplifting movie to cheer you up if you’re feeling down. A man who has to say Yes to anything makes for a spontaneous and enjoyable movie. 7/10

Australia

An intense love story that covers the unfair treatment of Aborigines in Australia & impact of World War II. Proving the point that no matter your colour or creed we are all equals on this earth. Fantastic Scenery. 7/10

Slumdog Millionaire

A powerful fantastic portrayal of India focusing on the very poor and the very rich. Action, adventure, love, pain, suffering, sadness and happiness rolled into one. 8/10
