Rated: Parental Guidance
Staring:
Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Mara Wilson, Embeth Davidtz, Pam Ferris
Director:
Danny DeVito
Danny DeVito's adaptation of the Roald Dahl book for children is mostly just fine, helped along quite a bit by the charming performance of Mara Wilson (Mrs Doubtfire) as the eponymous young Matilda, a brilliant girl neglected by her stupid, self-involved parents (DeVito and Rhea Perlman). Ignored at home, Matilda escapes into a world of reading, exercising her mind so much she develops telekinetic powers. Good thing, too: sent off to a school headed by a cruel principal, Matilda needs all the help she can get. DeVito takes a highly stylized approach that is sometimes reminiscent of Barry Sonnenfeld (director of Get Shorty, a DeVito production), and his judgement is not the best in some matters, such as letting the comic-scary sequences involving the principal go on too long. But much of the film is delightful and funny.--Tom Keogh
 Great film, 2010-08-20
My daughter (5 years old) absolutely loves this film and, I have to confess I don't find it a chore sitting down to watch it either.

Director:
Roland Emmerich
Now this is how you destroy the world. Roland Emmerich's 2012 pounces on a Nostradamus-style loophole in the Mayan calendar and rams the apocalypse through it, gleefully conjuring up an enormous amount of Saturday-matinee fun in the process. A scientist (Chiwetel Ejiofor) detects shifting continental plates and sun flares and realizes that this foretells the imminent destruction of the planet. Just as the molten lava is about to hit the fan, a novelist (John Cusack) takes his kids on a trip to Yellowstone; later he'll hook up with his ex (Amanda Peet) and her new boyfriend (Tom McCarthy) in a global journey toward safety. If there is any safety. The suitably hair-raising plot lines are punctuated--frequently, people, frequently--by visions of mayhem around the globe: the Vatican falls over, the White House is clobbered (Emmerich's Independence Day was not enough on that score), and the California coastline dives into the Pacific Ocean. Unlike other action directors we could name, Emmerich actually understands how to let you see and drink in these vast special-effects vistas--and they are incredible. He also honors the old Irwin Allen disaster-movie tradition by ac...
 predictable on a spectacular scale!, 2010-09-01
I read many reviews on this movie before seeing it and so, according to the vast majority of negative ratings was prepared to watch a b class movie with good special effects. The main characters are likable but you can tell who is going to 'get it' and who will make it. The vehicles just ahead of explosions and just missing deadly obstacles are predictable. The people with no honorable intentions that get their comeuppance is predictable but the because the good guys are so good and funny and the scenes so epic the movie really hits the mark. I really enjoyed this movie and I dont generally take prisoners with films.

Better than the first film?, 2010-08-27
I went to see Iron Man 2 twice at the Cinema this summer. Excellent plot thoroughly enjoyable. Acting from Robert Downey Jr. was very satisfactory and the relationship between Tony Stark and Pepper Potts was humorous and touching. The fact that AC/DC did the soundtrack was a great surprise as I didn't know about it before I went to see it, I'm not a massive hard rock fan but in an action/superhero film it suited it down to a tee. Special Effects were very impressive and only served to enhance the story. All in all I think that Iron Man 2 was a very good sequel to Iron Man and would definitely say that it's the better of the two although the original Iron Man still holds its own. Highly recommend it to anyone who liked the first one, I'll definitely be buying it.

Better than the book..., 2010-08-18
I have to say I love this film! I was struggling mid-way through the new moon book and decided to watch the film to provide the motivation during the 'Edward free' period and it really worked. The film seems to be better proportioned than the novel and is much more gritty than the first film, also thankfully they have got rid of Edward's dodgy eyebrows from the first film (what were they thinking!?). All in all a great film, especially the end, I won't give it away but I did scream with excitement! Enjoy.

Jake Gyllenhaal's doe eyes and bulging biceps will make some hearts flutter in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Dastan (Gyllenhaal), adopted prince of the Persian empire, must flee into the desert when accused of murdering his royal father--but a glass-handled dagger he found as loot from a captured city turns out to hold powerful time-manipulating magic. Not only is he pursued by his vengeful brothers, his scheming uncle (Ben Kingsley, Sexy Beast), and a strange cabal of assassins, but a princess/priestess named Tamina (Gemma Arterton, Quantum of Solace) wants the dagger back and will kill Dastan if she has to. Prince of Persia wants to be a rollicking adventure along the lines of Pirates of the Caribbean. Unfortunately, it's hampered by clumsy dialogue and hard-to-follow action sequences, with choppy editing that wrecks the flow of the parkour-inspired stunts. But the production design is extravagant and every time Alfred Molina (Spiderman 2) appears as a greedy sheik the movie gets a delightful jolt of energy. Gyllenhaal doesn't have much to work with--Dastan is a fairly generic hero--and whoever designed his hair should ...

A provocative science fiction drama, District 9 boasts an original story that gets a little lost in blow-'em-up mayhem. Set in Johannesburg, South Africa, District 9 begins as a mock documentary about the imminent eviction of extraterrestrials from a pathetic shantytown (called District 9). The creatures, it turns out, have been on Earth for years, having arrived sickly and starving. Initially received by humans with compassion and care, the aliens are now mired in blighted conditions typical of long-term refugee camps unwanted by a hostile, host society. With the creatures' care contracted out to a for-profit corporation, the shantytown has become a violent slum. The aliens sift through massive piles of junk while their minders secretly research weapons technology that arrived on the visitors' spacecraft. Against this backdrop is a more personal story about a bureaucrat named Wikus (Sharlto Copley) who is accidentally exposed to a DNA-altering substance. As he begins metamorphosing into one of the creatures, Wikus goes on the run from scientists who want to harvest his evolving, new parts and aliens who see him as a threat. When he pairs up with an extraterrestrial secretly plann...
Probably the best film in 2009, 2010-08-27
'District 9' is probably the best film in 2009, at least it is to me.
District 9 is not only good because it's quality, its also surprising because of its honesty. A refreshing slap in the face of comercial sci-fi movies, in the same quality path of Duncan Jone's 'Moon'. It's an amazing time for science fiction cinema and cinema in general. Maybe there's a hope after all.
I loved it.

The monsters in Monsters, Inc. are just so incredibly cute--and they know it. Whereas Woody, Buzz and pals in the Toy Story saga were filled with self-doubt about just how much the children in their lives would continue to love them, here our heroic monsters and their impossibly lovable human ward Boo have no such worries, at least when it comes to the cinema audience. And that's why Monsters, Inc., for all its wondrous computer-animated artistry, its smart humour and its family-friendly appeal, doesn't quite capture the naïve charm of its predecessors. Nevertheless, John Goodman and Billy Crystal, as scare-champions Sulley and Mike, are a great double-act whose comedy never goes over kids' heads but still reaches up to make their parents laugh. The film's central conceit--that monsters in the bedroom closet are just doing a night's work in order to generate power from screams for the city of Monstropolis--is funny and cleverly worked out; and kids will of course love the fact that the monsters are mortally afraid of the very children they are trying to frighten. The animation is extraordinarily detailed (Sulley's fur is a marvel in itself) and the set-p...
