Watched a fair few films over the past couple of weeks. Mainly due to getting a Cineworld Unlimited Card and the 5 Blu-Rays for 4 nights @ £10 deal in Blockbuster.
Invention of Lying: Better than I expected, but it got too serious and boring about an hour in. Good concept though. 7/10
Fighting: Pretty shit tbh. Not much else to say. 3/10
Fast and Furious: Not bad, weak storyline (obviously) but the action and effects were decent. As were the cars. 6/10
Year One: Fell asleep half hour into it. Says it all tbh. 2/10
12 Rounds: Weak story but decent action and easy enough to watch. 5/10
Valkeyrie: Really good film. Not sure if them sounding American was such a good idea though. Sometimes a poor German accent can be a good thing. Just made it hard to believe and follow at times. Still good though 7/10
Couples Retreat: Actually a very funny film. Vince Vaughn carried most of the cast, but there is enough eye candy to make up for that. 7/10
Usual Suspects: Maybe I need to see it again, but I really didn't think it was as good as people make out. I guessed the ending too. Which can't be good? 6/10
Tonights viewing: Tropic Thunder.

I liked Invention Of Lying as well, good film. Started to drag towards the end right enough as if they were trying to fill a certain running time.

I was busting for a piss when they were in the Church. I knew full well what was going to happen but I had already been for a piss so had to stay put, so as not to piss off the entire row once again

fighting 1/10 - shite
blood and bone 7.5/10 - the best underground fighting film ive seen
gran turino 8/10 - the first 10 minutes are slow and almost enough to want to turn it off but doing that would be a big mistake. classic film
bucket list 7/10 - definately worth a watch and features two really good actors(morgan freeman and jack nicholson)
america 7/10 - good film about an african american orphan instated into an orphanage

Invention of lying - Same as his last one, was ok, not amazing - 6/10
The imaginarium of Dr Pernasus - Wasn't that impressed tbh, loads of it was very Monty Python but that won't keep many people interested. 4/10
Seen Valkyrie a while ago, good I thought.

Agreed with Gran Torino, I thought it was an awesome film. I've watched it twice as well which I rarely do.

Although watching Gran Torino made me pretty angry. Just the whole gang mentality thing, it does my head in. But that's a rant I'll save for another day.
