Robert Downey Jr stars in this Marvel film as an owner of a weapons company who uses his genius to create an 'iron man' jet suit. Jeff Bridges is his not-so-obedient right-hand man and Gweneth Paltrow stars as the love interest. Fun with great special effects. (46 words)
| 0 Comment(s)Bond returns and wants revenge for the murder of his lover. Luckily, one of the people responsible is also trying to take over Bolivia and Bond sets out to catch him. The action sequences are absolutely brilliant and the story-line necessarily brief! Better than Casino Royale! (46 words)
| 0 Comment(s)A tongue-in-cheek film by Disney where a cartoon Disney Princess is banished to real-world New York by her fiance's evil mother. The film's cartoon characters are brilliantly transposed into real-life actors - particularly Timothy Spall's fawning bufoon character. Fun for all the family! (43 words)

| 0 Comment(s)An excellent movie charting several viewpoints of the same terrorist attack and assassination attempt on the President of the USA in Spain. Each viewpoint builds on our understanding of what is happening. Brilliant acting from Dennis Quaid and Forest Whittaker. This film had me on edge right through! (48 words)
| 0 Comment(s)This highly rated film failed to light by oil-fire. Daniel Day-Lewis plays an 1890's self-made prospector who buys a family farm and strikes oil. He has to deal with the fall-out on the village and its evangelical people. Ultimately, I didn't feel anything for any of the characters. (48 words)
| 0 Comment(s)Simon Pegg is an abnoxious journalist with hiddden depths in this comedy which also stars Jeff Bridges and Kirsten Dunst. Set mostly in New York it depicts his rise to celebrity magazine success, but at what cost to his integrity and his true love? Enjoyable but hopefully not too realistic. (50 words)
