Iron Man - 7.5/10

Disaster Movie 1/10

Absolute shite. Do not waste an hour and a half of your precious life on this shite. It gets a mark for Carmen Electra in a skimpy wrestling outfit.

Eagle Eye 7.5/10

Not bad at all, even if the plot was a wee bit predicatable.

Up - 7/10

I enjoyed it even though it had me welling up a couple of times.

The Big Man 7/10

A 1991 film starring well known Irishman Liam Neeson as an unemployed Scottish ex-miner and English fox Joanne Whalley-Kilmer* as his Scottish wife.

Well known English toff Hugh Grant also has an early supporting role as a Scottish doctor. Billy Connolly and Peter Mullen (The Fixer) who are actually Scottish turn up in supporting roles, along with that fat bloke who used to be a detective in The Bill and that other fat bloke who plays half of the swinging couple in Benidorm. Julie Graham also makes an early apearance and gets her baps out, along with a young Dougie Henshall (Primeval) who doesn't. Wink

And the legendary Pat "Bomber" Roach plays a tough guy minder type.

I saw this at the cinema when it was first released and really liked it - it's a gritty, brutal, often graphically so, tale of our hero's descent into the world of bare knuckle boxing to put money on the table for his family following the miners strike, filmed entirely on location in Scotland. I've kept an eye out for it being shown on TV for a while as it appears it has never been released on DVD - possibly due to it being a joint venture with the long since defunct British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB, remember them with their "squaerial"?)

Sadly, 18 years on it's a bit preachy on the subject of the strike (see also Brassed Off, Billy Elliot, etc or virtually any other British film made by middle class writers / directors featuring the miners strike), but still watchable nevertheless. The climactic flight scene is still bloody and uncompromising.

* - Joanne Whalley-Kilmer was the fittest woman in the world in the late 80's / early 90's (anyone who has seem the TV version of The Singing Detective will know what I mean...) Wink

Taken - 7/10

Another Liam Neeson film. Quite good, almost an 8/10 but for the plodding scene setting first 20 minutes or so that nearly had me not bothering to watch the rest of it. But stick with it and it explodes into action and improves considerably. Well worth a watch.

Pineapple Express - 1/10

What a steaming turd of a movie this is. Rave reviews from the critics, but I could have managed better with my camcorder filming a load of doped up students on Woodhouse Moor. Someone has clearly seen Pulp Fiction and tried to make a stoner movie along the same lines, but they've failed miserably. Shite, avoid.

The 39 Steps 8/10

The original B&W film, starring Robert Donat.
It has an atmosphere and charm that places it a world above the later Robert Powell and the recent Rupert Penry-Jones retellings.

Junior Bonner 7/10

Possibly the coolest man ever, Steve McQueen stars as our hero in Sam Peckipahs homage to the kings of the rodeo. Good stuff.

How to lose friends and alienate people - 7/10

This got quite mixed reviews but I found it very watchable and laugh out loud funny in places. Well worth a watch.
