I'm of a similar genetic make up! when a film hasn't spaceships or scifi of some kind I worry it's going to be cheap crap but often there's good stuff like garden state, seabiscuit etc that can be enjoyed despite the lower budget!

8.5/10

Ice Age 1 was pretty poor IMO. Compared to Pixar and Dreamworks it was cheap animation and the storyline was cleched and predictable. The actual jokes were basically just 'wisecracks' and all the characters, lazy stereotypes. I only watched 40 minutes of it so I'm not the best judge but that's the impression I got.

Maybe Ice Age 2 is better but I doubt it. And I do like kid's films generally, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory is one of the better in recent history.

Aeon Flux - Not bad 6/10

managed to catch lucky number slevin last night and was a great film 9/10

watched basic instinct 2 earlier in the week and tend to agree with other posts on this... a big pile of turd. came across as they were trying to outdo the leg crossing scene from the first movie, but just went over the top

Doom - 2/10 very boring

I think your impression is pretty accurate. I watched it right through on ITV2 the other week. If I were to write a one-paragraph review I think I'd have said exactly the same as you did!

I can only remember the first 10 minutes with that squirrel chasing the nut - i dont think i've laughed so much at a cartoon in a loooong time.

Not seen the second one yet.

The parts with the squirrel were the best parts of it. The rest was, imo, dire.

Ice Age 1, the story sucked really. And that's putting it lightly, # 2 was infinitely better.

Scary Movie 4: If your a fan of 1 & 2 but thought 3 was poo then this will have you laughing from the first minute to the end

Sounds Perfec'

I should be watching this soon then

Finally saw Tomb Raider last night, on BBC3. It's typical of a game-to-movie conversion and proves that sufficient plot for a computer game is not sufficient plot for a 90-minute feature.

I wouldn't sit and watch someone else play Tomb Raider from start to finish, so why does a film studio think I'll want to sit and watch someone else 'playing' it on a cinema screen?

4/10 because it looked good and filled an evening. I say 'it', not 'she' ... is Angeline Jolie supposed to be a pin up?

Been having a bit of a movie fest lately (got a new telly) so here's a rundown:-

King Arthur - 1/10
YAWN! Got switched off after about 20 minutes.

Chronicles of Narnia - 4/10
Not so good - just didnt feel like they caught the right feeling for this one, better for kids i suppose but...

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - 8/10
Potter's for kids too and this is much better, best movie of the series so far from the best book of the series, still prefer to read it than see it though.

The Constant Gardner - 8/10
Good movie but a bit too serious to be enjoyable if you catch what i mean, potent messages in this one though which make you think a bit.

Finally my pick of the bunch by a mile...

Millions - 10/10

Bloody brilliant movie, nearly brought a tear to my eye which is saying something in itself. From beginning to end i had a wee smile on my face watching this - i feel kind of tamed now.

Do youself a favor and see this one!

The Wicker Man - freaky stuff. A bit silly in parts too.

Watched a Japanese film called Casshern at the weekend. A very well made movie with a great story and a very manga animation look about it.

Slightly hard to follow when trying to watch the action and read the subtitles as well, due to the film being very fast paced.

Overall I really enjoyed it. 7/10
