 Interesting, 2010-03-12
My daughter had recommended that I watch Valkyrie. I found it very interesting, but I truly did not find it a good viewing on Sunday afternoon. The film was well produced but I always enjoy happy endings and this film certainly was not. I accept that it was based on a true story, so I probably should not have expected a happy ending. Overall - interesting - loved Tom Cruise - it was good to see him as a different sort of character and enjoyed the performances of Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy and Terence Stamp, but sometimes it is hard to recognise them as actors as I think they should be in "fun" situations.

We love Eddie, 2009-12-15
I first saw Eddie at the Edinburgh festival and thought he was ace. I love the way he mimes as he talks and the way he links back between subjects. I'm probably biased but I think this DVD is great. I'm trying to find the one about the cats behind the sofa and the story of the bible.....I know they are out there somewhere! Enjoy.

Ivan Reitman
Girl power (or if you prefer, woman power) gets a goofy boost in My Super Ex-Girlfriend, a breezy rom-com that's as fun as it is forgettable. As devised by former Simpsons writer Don Payne and directed by comedy veteran Ivan (Ghostbusters) Reitman, the premise is certainly promising, and much of that promise is gamely fulfilled. When a New York building designer named Matt (Luke Wilson) discovers that his new girlfriend Jenny (Uma Thurman) is actually a crime-fighting, disaster-solving superhero named G-Girl who's also needy, neurotic, and unpredictably volatile, he realises he's got to dump her as politely as possible or face the potentially deadly consequences. Since he's really in love with a cute colleague (Anna Faris), and since the arch-villain Professor Bedlam (Eddie Izzard) has been in love with G-Girl since they were outcast pals in high school, you can easily figure out where the comedy is going. But getting there is surprisingly enjoyable, given the rather flat execution of a pretty good idea. The shark-tossing scene is a highlight, and other memorable scenes compensate for Reitman's embrace of a bitchy female stereotype that's either insulting or tr...
 My Super Ex Girlfriend, 2009-07-15
Want to escape reality for a couple of hours, relax, have a laugh, take yourself to another place? Let this film do it for you. It is witty, daft and sheer escapism, with great actors (Eddie Izzard steals the show) and has a "good-feeling" escapism throughout.

Something a little different to the norm, Across The Universe is, in its simplest form, a collection of Beatles songs that have been strung together into a musical. But what a musical, and ultimately, what a fascinating film too. Across The Universe follows Jude, played by Jim Sturgess, who travels from Britain to America in the 1960s, and eventually meets Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood). The film then picks up the story of their romance, with the likes of Vietnam war protests sitting in the background, along with a strong-yet-unknown supporting cast who more than hold their own. Across The Universe progresses its narrative through a mix of Beatles numbers, and it’s a method that sometimes works exceptionally well, and at other times feels a little bit shoehorned. Nonetheless, more of it succeeds than fails, and there’s no denying the quality of the musical work, even though it’s not the Fab Four whose vocal talents are used. Sometimes a bit uneven, Across The Universe is nonetheless a brave and bold screen musical, with a striking visual style. Director Julie Taymor--who previously directed the musical of The Lion King on Br...
Hidden jem, 2009-12-11
Why isn't this film more well known? It's like a more profound, better acted and performed version of mama mia but this time the songs are from the beatles.
If you love the beatles you'll love this, if you're no great fan of the beatles (like me)you'll surprise yourself by loving it!!

It comes as something of a relief to find that Ocean’s 13 eases itself back to the charm and suave, sophisticated swagger that underpinned the first in what’s become a trilogy of capers. And for those who endured the self-indulgent mess that was Ocean’s 12, this latest and final entry in the franchise is a very welcome treat, proving very much that lessons were learnt. Dropping Catherine Zeta Jones and Julia Roberts from the cast list, but signing up the smaller matter of Al Pacino instead, the rest of the players remain broadly intact. So it’s George Clooney’s Danny Ocean who leads the team of cons, supported by Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle and Carl Reiner. And it’s the easy chemistry between these and the rest of the team that underpin what makes Ocean’s 13 such an enjoyable ride. The plot pits Ocean and his gang against Al Pacino’s ruthless casino boss, and while the script perhaps lacks the cleverness and dense plotting that worked so well in the first adventure, it still leaves plenty of room for outright entertainment. The end result is an easy-to-enjoy caper, that’s not the equal of Ocean’s 11
Another one for the Ocean's collection, 2010-01-17
This movie continues the success of the Ocean's series. Enjoyable, thrilling, suspenseful and mildly humourous at times. We continue to (somewhat wrongly I guess) admire the achievements of this unique gang of high profile thieves. Good HD quality as well. If you have the others in the series this is a must. If you don't have any ocean's... movies, watch the others before this that will make a bit more sense, but also good on it's own.

Finding Nemo A delightful undersea world unfolds in Pixar's animated adventure Finding Nemo. When his son Nemo is captured by a scuba diver, a nervous clownfish named Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) sets off into the vast--and astonishingly detailed--ocean to find him. Along the way he hooks up with a scatterbrained blue tang fish named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), who's both a help and a hindrance, sometimes at the same time. Faced with sharks, deep-sea anglers, fields of poisonous jellyfish, sea turtles, pelicans and much more, Marlin rises above his neuroses in this wonderfully funny and thrilling ride--rarely do more than 10 minutes pass without a sequence appearing that's destined to become a theme-park attraction. Pixar continues its run of impeccable artistic and economic successes (Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc). Supporting voices here include Willem Dafoe, Geoffrey Rush and Allison Janney. --Bret Fetzer The Wild A cuddly koala who wants to be fierce, a squirrel in love with a sarcastic giraffe, an addle-pated anaconda, and a lion with a secret set off from their cozy zoo to res...
Great Double Bill, 2010-02-15
I was looking to buy Finding Nemo for my 2 year old..........ok, so it was also for me...when I stumbled across this double dvd on offer, I decided to take a chance as I had never seen The Wild before. I am a HUGE fan of Pixar's films and although The Wild is not a Pixar, it is certainly a great little film with lots of action to keep a 2 year old, and his mother, entertained.
Enjoy!

 Side splittingly funny!, 2010-03-11
This is a really funny film. The comedic timing of the actors was superb. I just don't know how they kept a straight face filming some of the scenes. The scene where Dougray Scott and Joely Richardson discuss the Triffids was a corker of a moment. I had to stop watching after that, however, because I knew my hernia couldn't take it. I also feared for the actors. Please put a warning on the box.
