Enjoyable, mindless, and very funny. Downey Jr. was surprisingly brilliant. Little plot or real substance but who cares, just fun hokum and the best film I've seen for a while. Recommended.

After a life threatening run in with a group of terrorists, weapons maker Tony Stark (Downey) sets to work on a new weapon.
After Marvel comics Spider-Man and Incredible Hulk were made into blockbuster smash hits, the trend grew with another infamous comic book being adapted and based on Stan Lee's series; this is a very effective exciting Sci-Fi thriller. Robert Downey Jr (Chaplin) stars as weapons genius Tony Stark, an intelligent man with a professional life. At times films can have a central hero with a bizarre under-explained background but Favreau dives into Stark's life before Iron Man by projecting a simplistic idea into the opening scenes. Stark is receiving an award and we take a look at photos of his past ... Read More: >>More Details |

The overwhelming success of the Spider-Man and X-Men trilogies revitalised interest and credibility in superhero movies since the original Batman and Superman film franchises fell into great decline. Since then, floodgates have been opened, allowing all kinds of Marvel heroes to have a shot at cinematic stardom.
Although (in my opinion) there haven't been any truly horrible Marvel films, the majority of these haven't lived up to the hype as they could've done. For example, Daredevil, Hulk, Fantastic Four (the first film) had all the necessary tools to be on a par with any of the X-Men/Spider-Man films, yet they weren't. So now, we have Iron Man, the next Marvel legend in line for a big superhero film. When I saw the first trailer, ... Read More: >>More Details |

I greatly enjoyed this film and it was a delight to watch an escapist SF/Superhero story that was presented to adults rather than 12 year olds. The detail in the sets and SFX combined with the plausible(ish) story and excellent acting makes for a satisfying experience. The blu-ray is very good and includes a full disc worth of extras, all in HD, that are actually worth watching. It's refreshing to see concept art presented in 1080 for example because it's possible to appreciate the artwork rather than just the concept (if you see what I mean).
So, good story, good production, good acting, good transfer, good extras. >>More Details |

I admit that the first time I saw this movie I didn't like it at all. Now it is several years later and I have watched almost all of John Hannah's work, so I caught this movie on cable television. On my second viewing and much to my surprise, I absolutely loved it! I was already familiar with Gwyneth Paltrow's work. She is a very talented actress. Now, I also think John Hannah is a very talented actor.
As (Helen), Gwyneth Paltrow was smart, energetic, sexy yet sweet, very pretty, made the best of each situation, and sometimes made mistakes. She was a totally likable character. As (James), John Hannah gets embarrassed and says silly things in the movie like, "never end a sentence with a preposition - must look up in my English grammar ... Read More: >>More Details |

What makes this version of Emma enjoyable is the exquisite costumes, locations and colour. I love the portrayals of Miss Bates, Mr & Mrs Elton & Mrs Weston (or poor Miss Taylor). Gwyneth Paltrow makes a pleasant Emma, but although I love her as an actress, I don't think she has really identified with the character of Emma. I am not convinced of Harriet Smith or Frank Churchill either, they are just not authentic to the characters. Mr Knightley is just about passable. The main problem with this is that the story has been severely condensed and I feel alot of the important scenes in the book have been dropped, which has greatly reduced the effect of the story. The TV version starring Kate Beckinsale & Mark Strong have much stronger character portrayals and a ... Read More:

This workaday biopic calls itself 'Sylvia' but it might just as easily have been 'Ted'. In the 50s, Plath and Hughes were poetry's Posh and Becks and the whole film hinges on their relationship, wiping out in one fell swoop the rich pickings of her early life and all but ignoring her poetry. We get the last few lines of 'Daddy', but virtually nothing about Plath's late father Otto. Her two children appear from nowhere, and her relentless pursuit of the domestic ideal (so lovingly detailed in her letters and diaries) is reduced to a fit of cake-baking. She had a notoriously complex relationship with her mother Aurelia but you'd never guess it from 'Sylvia' (although Paltrow's own mother Blythe Danner is perfectly cast in the role). So too is Paltrow herself (well, come on, ... Read More:

I first saw this film as a sixteen year old on a family outing to the cinema not having heard of Anderson or the film itself. Family outings not being a regular thing at all for me it is extremely coincidental/fortunate/fateful that we should have seen together that night what I now regard as the most moving and funniest films about family relationships I have ever seen (On a par with the Sopranos for me).
From the opening scenes with an instrumental Hey Jude the film put a smile on my face introducing the delightful unashamedly quirky characters. The ensemble cast really shines with no one actor trying to steal the show. The attention to detail Anderson shows is immense from costumes to locations (the main house in the film is an actual house redecorated and designed ... Read More: >>More Details |

Writing a play is a tiresome burden when you don't have the faintest idea what it is going to be about but you need to hand it over real soon. Fortunately, Will Shakespeare finds his muse and the authors of the screenplay also had at least a brief encounter with theirs.
Basically a romantic comedy SIL offers much more that the standard "boy meets girl, boy loses girl" scenario - they present it in a fantastically well rendered setting taking as much as they could from the Swan of the Avon. A perfect way to spend an afternoon - you get your share of romance, adventure, and literary history (the latter should not be taken at face value, however). Do you need more? >>More Details |

Seven is a great film but in my humble opinion, I find it to be overated. Yes, the murder scenes are amazing and the acting from Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey is brilliant, the film takes too long to get going and as there are 7 murders and the film is over 2 hours long, this means alot of the film is wasted with unessecery scenes. Seven would have gotten 5 stars if they had cut the running time by 20 minutes.
