Quick notes on some movies I've seen recently...
Transformers - The Revenge of the Fallen - I went in with zero expectations and walked away thinking it was pretty good! The bot on bot action was amazing as ever, although at times it was a little confusing trying to work out the Autobots from the Decepticons. No doubt a third installment will be on it's way.
Bruno - Some parts were hilarious, other parts were just a bit too much for me to be honest. Unlike Borat, the majority of this film was staged, so it lacked the edge of Borat. I've always though the character of Bruno was a little weak to begin with but fair play to Sasha for going as close to being gay as possible for a straight man!
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - A very good film, very enjoyable but could have done without the lovey dovey rubbish! Damn Severus Snape for killing Prof Dumbledore, but I have a feeling he will put everything right!
Race to Witch Mountain - Where as Harry Potter is very enjoyable, in essence it is still a kids movie, the same can be said about the Rock's latest flick Race to Witch Mountain. But unfortunately RTWM is rubbish, a shame because the Rock is a decent actor with great screen presence which is why he is wasted in this lame sci fi bore.
The Taking of Pelham 123 - Denzel is back with a bang! A lot of people have complained that this Tony Scott effort is not a patch on the original, but seeing as though I haven't seen the original, I thought this was pretty good. Both Denzel and John Travolta put in solid performances, there is plenty of action and the plot moves along at a steady pace. Good old fashioned guys movie!
