What chemistry was that then? Lebouef is a charisma-free,wooden actor.How he's a star is one life's great mysteries.grim_tales wrote:Transformers 3: 3.5/5
Shia Leboeuf lacks the chemistry with the blonde girl playing his girlfriend that he had with Megan Fox. .

I didnt mind him in the first one but the actress playing the love interest in this movie was so wooden

That's enough about Shia LeBeouf...luckystars wrote:There is a 'wanker' in the film.
But seriously 'wanker' isn't strong.
So if that's as harsh as it gets the BBFC got it wrong.

Black Christmas (1974): 1.5/5
Dull and slow, surprised how highly people rate this.

Bill Bailey - Dandelion Mind: 4/5
This is certainly an improvement on his last "proper" gig - Tinselworm from 2008. Maybe its the more intimate venue (O2 rather than Wembley) and though some of the surreal stuff may not be to all tastes there is certainly much to enjoy (Internet love song, Kraftwerk meets The Wurzels) and rants and observations (what if the Nazis had been to Australia?). Overall this was very funny and when Bailey does music it ocassionally shows how clever he actually is (Gary Numan played on car horns).
The Blu Ray looks very good

Law Abiding Citizen **
Preposterous thriller opens with an intriguing idea but loses the plot big time as it turns Gerard Butler's vengeful father into a psychotic mass murderer. Not surprising perhaps when you see the screenplay credit for Kurt Wimmer. He's writing the Total Recall remake - which scares me.

Kurt Wimmer, the man behind Equilibrium. But will the lightning ever strike in the same place twice again?

Equilibrium was nonsense.
"I know, let's create a society completely devoid of emotion, and then have everyone act with emotion"
"Great idea, Kurt. No one will notice."

I know what you mean - IIRC if the idea is to suppress emotion why do the bad guys look angry when Christian Bale pisses them off?

It's a totalitarian state. The bad guys can do what they like, thats the point of the story

Visually wonderful with enjoyable performances, but ultimately lost my interest in the last hour.

I'd have preferred more occult atmosphere. Another shitty Optimum Blu-ray transfer by the way.

Armored **½
Standard heist movie; not too bad.
Good cast would lead one to expect something better.

Another bleak and difficult film from Lars von Trier, I'm not sure it's completely successful but it does leave one thinking.

Ludicrous torture porn wastes a suspenseful setup with excessive gore.
