Limitless - 26/3/11

I am really not sure if I liked this movie or not!! Bradley Cooper was really good, both as a rather pathetic looser and as a smooth talking success and some of the shots used especially the really fast journey though New York were amazing, if slightly nausea inducing. BUT the plot!!! It was almost as if the film was still be written as it was shot, characters were being chucked in for seemingly no reason, and you were lead up one path and then suddenly on another without any explanation.

I am not saying it was bad, but I did leave the Cinema wondering what the point of the film was supposed to be.

The Eagle - 23/3/11

Didn't have very high hopes for this film, so found myself pleasantly surprised when it was actually quite good. A few odd bits, who knew that the last of the ginger mohicans lived in the Scottish Highlands for example, but leaving aside all the leaps of faith you need to take, for an evening out - this film and a bag of popcorn is a good place to start.

Fair Game - 16/03/11

Based on the true story of the White House leaking the name of a covert CIA agent to divert attention away from the fact they had lied about WMD in Iraq to justify going to war.

In all a good film, the establishing the ground work part of the film went on a little too long in my opinion, and at the times the way it was shot almost gave you motion sickness. I thought that they could have spent less time setting the scene and more on the actual scene, and this would have made it a better film IMHO.

All in all though I would recommend this for a nights entertainment at the flicks.
