The wolf of wall street ....ahahahahahahaha ..no ok this is just one of the funniest films ever made ..and this from the director of goodfellas...the story is great and hilarious to the point of wetting your pants de caprio is on top form and suprisingly pretty good with the comedy parts ...ok the bad part is this is pretty much just a remake of the boiler room and at 3 hours your arse will fall off

that said i wouldnt miss this film for anything ...

Black sails .. outstanding series about pirates ..stars replaced spartacus with this ...another pretty much all british cast ..with one of the best credit intros iv ever seen hehe ... seriously i highly recommend this one ..its pirates of the carrabean nasty style

Captain phillips .. tom hanks ... i avioded this for ages as i just didnt fancy it .. jesus was i wrong .. its directed by paul greengrass .. the bourne movies guy .. as usual his direction of a thriller is outstanding ..and he has you on the edge of your seat for much of the film ..great film

300 rise of a nation ... you know this film was panned by the critics as the 1st was .. makes me think were these fucking morons live .. is it all pink and fluffy there ? this film is superb .. critics need to learn that movies are watched by ordinary ppl who simply want to be entertained .. ( oh its not exactly art though is it old chap) FUCK OFF
they sing the praised of films and give them oscars that make most ppl go wtf ?? as in mind numbingly boring shite that wont even break even .. then a film everyone loves becomes a cult movie and sells loads on dvd is initially panned and called garbage ...can we please have ppl in these jobs that give a normal persons opinion not these deluded muppets froim never never land ... rant out

wow here is a real shocker ... the transformer films have grown up and gone very very nasty .. totally new cast thank god ..looks interesting thats for sure

in going to make a prediction here lets see if i get it right down the line a bit huh .. every single movie released this year will get its ass handed to it by one ..and will probably take more at the box office than all the rest put together .. can you guess what it is ??

yup .. dawn of the planet of the apes will clean up .. and deservedly so ..the 1st one was mesmerising at it was .. now its turned up about 50 notches ....go check out the trailer

pompeii ..... hmmm well its not that bad a film really just well casting kiether sutherland as the bad guy was the most idiotic bit of casting iv ever seen .. his attempt at an english accent for a roman senator are pain to your ears ... to the point when he apears on screen you groan .... the rest of the film isnt too bad really but ...a watch and quickly forget film .. wait till its on tv dont pay

new series ... Crossbones .. pirate series looking to cash in on the success of black sails ... its starts out looking like a 3rd rate pile of tat

stick with it .While not even close to the utterly brilliant black sails its not that bad . john malchovich as blackbaerd is interesting .. its not brilliant so far but its by no meanse terribble ... and while there is only game of thrones on at the mo to watch its worth watching id say ... if not only to see were there going with it

Gang related .. a mexican gang in LA send a member to join the police force .. not seen a cop show as good as this since the shield .. all the time while watching there is a menacing undertone that keeps you on the edge of your seat ... you know at any moment some nasty suprise is gonna happen ... only seen the pilot so far and i was riveted .. lets see were they take this one

Jack Ryan shadow recruit ... based on the tom clancy book the cast is superb the plot and story is just fine ... the director is useless .. no idea how to pace a thriller whatsoever .. many times in the 1st 40 mins i found myself thinking ... get on with it ffs....the shitty director has turned what could have been another bourne into a run of the mill made for tv thriller .. shame really .. wait till its on tv

The Last Ship .. pilot ..stumbled on this by accident so i had no clue whatsoever what i was watching at the time ..ok the cast ..yeah good cast ..the story .. more on that later ... the actual script .. yup pretty good .. ok as to the actual story .. erm well i cant really tell you much as it would completely ruin it for anyone watching this .. the best i can do is say it starts as lets say looking like NCIS a bit then completly scares the shit out of you ...
this is an outstanding pilot

Stalingrad thought this was going to be another enemy at the gates ..wrong its a russian film were they dubbed the rissian parts into english but left the german as well german .. wtf ?
ok the sets are pretty lavish and the fight scenes are nasty and well done .. sadly there very far and few between and huge chunks of the film is unbelivably tedious shit ...it also gets very very predictable

its a shame really this one just doesnt live upto anything and tbh is not worth the 2 hours running time ..dont bother watching it you wount be missing anything


power update ...well the pilot looked interesting .. but sadly it didnt live up to expectations .. its very slow to the point were id say they are stretching out far too many scenes and storys that they dont need to do to the point were it gets very boring for long streches and you sit there thinking get on with it ffs ..they action is pretty shite also and is over in the blink of an eye .. you just find while watching this you dont really give a shit ..i wont be watching anymore of it myself

Godzilla ... wtf never in my entire life have a felt so utterly cheated than when this stinking pile of hore shit finished ...90% of the film is done in pitch black .. that way they save cash on the special effects ofc ... you hardly see the monsters much till the last 20 mins when they fight .. and that was done so fucking badly it just made me angry ....trust me if you have not watched this yet stear well clear of it about as far as say bolivia would be a good idea
