The Grey
Liam Neeson goes into bad-ass mode again as a hunter whose flight home goes down in the Alaskan wilderness. Along with a handful of survivors, he must try to survive not only the cold, but the pack of wolves lurking in the shadows.

The Dark Knight Rises.
20 mins too long I think, but a fantastic summer blockbuster, it tidies up the trilogy and while it leaves a slight opening at the end for more (I'll say no more in case of spoilers...) it's a case of "job done" and a successful franchise "Reboot".
I just hope, that nobody looks at Batman in a long long time in terms of more films.

Mark Wahlberg's best friend is a living, breathing teddy bear who indulges in drink, drugs and babes. If you've seen Family Guy, then you know what's coming. It's pretty bloody funny! 7.5/10

Superman
Christopher Reeve's first and best outing as the Man of Steel. Looks quite dated now, but still good fun. And this was actually my first time seeing it...!
Brave
Second time around for this one. Still as good as before - though think the 3D that I saw the film in the first time was quite unnecessary.

Superman II/III/IV
They get progressively worse as the series goes on. Not even Christopher Reeve can save the last one from being rather pants!
Con Air
Cracking mental actioner starring Nicolas Cage as an ex-con hitching a ride home on a C-123 cargo plane full of convicts. Predictable - but by Christ is it a LOT of fun!!

SENNA
A great film about the possibly the best F1 driver of his era.
If you like F1 and are too young to have known him, you need to see this film.
I agree 100%, the only "Good thing" to come out of this great drivers death was that loads of safety measured, trackwise and car wise, were vastly improved.
Still remember watching it live on T.V. Sad day.

Fright Night (1985)
A teenager suspects there is a vampire living next door and he attempts to confront. Slightly odd 1980s horror. Not too bad.
Jesus Henry Christ (2012)
A genius child tries to find out who his father is. Quirky and endearing comedy with Michael sheen and Toni Collette. Rather enjoyable.
Outcast (2010)
A beast stalks an Edinburgh council estate and the monster hunter (James Nesbitt arrives to get rid. Gritty British horror. Good stuff.
Cowboys and Aliens (2011)
Aliens arrive and terrorize a frontier town and are saved by Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford. Bizarre premise but well enough done.

Gotta love Fright Night, Arthur! :D I'm not so sure about the remake, though.
Today I've watched:
Hot Tub Time Machine
Air America
First Blood
Rambo IV

100 million years BC
Worst dinosaurs, poorly acted, bad script..........on a par with Apollo 18.
I believe only £200 was spent on special effects.
Dreadful.

Not the same film Jon (!):D
Produced 2008
The highest out of 10 I found was 2.7 (completely overmarked)
Truly dreadful:(
The dvd cover is the best bit.
