Undoubtedly the best Jane Eyre adaptation to date. The setting and atmosphere captured the book perfectly. The narritive flowed beautifully but didnt feel the need to stick religiously to the flow of the book 100% which is a plus in my opinion. Wasikowska and Fassbender captured the essence of Jane and Rochester wonderfully. A marvellous film.

In my opinion, a timesless classic. It has everything you need; humour, romance, fantasy and tragedy, but a beautifully poignant fairytale of a story. As well as all this it is riddled with social satire and heavy themes on lonliness, suburbia, cliques, conformity, consumerism, fashion, love, family life, gossip, morality and if you look deeper several others. But it is my favourite film so I could be slightly biased!

At times side-splittingly hilarious, and others, patience-testingly tiresome. Overall too much of a mixed bag to be consistenly enjoyable, and so therfore becomes a little infuriating. Brand shines in supporting roles, but grates as a lead.

Cute, quirky, endearing, dark and well paced. A deliciously dark little comedy/drama about life, love and death. A real gem but firmly cult, so not for everyone.

Better than I expected but not as good as I was hoping. Im not a fan of sports films, so I like how this film turned that on it's head and made it not about sports but about stats. Unfortunatly though, I find stats just as dull as sports. And it ultimatly suffered frome the old cliche of underdogs overcoming adversity and expections to reach thier golas yada yada. Pitt gives a good performance and this is worth a watch.

I didnt think much of the story, but thesetting and colouring were very good and the feel of the film was genuinly very unsettling. I am rarely scared by films but this was the first to put me on edge and make me jump for some time. Radcliffe does well in, my opinon a rather generic, thinly drawn role that almost any actor could have stepped into with ease. Arguably the best British horror in years.

I felt underwhelmed when I first saw this. Prefering the crasser humour of The Hangover. But with repeat viewings, I have found that Bridesmaids humour is far more diverse, being at times vulgar, but others tactful, making it ultimatly much funnier than I initally thought. It may owe a lot ot it's Vegas set male counterpart, but has subtly gained the upper hand over it.

Excellent! The balance of mystery and humour are pitch perfect and never throw each other off course. Consistently gripping and enjoyable from the master of suspense. The pre-war British reserve and patriotism in the film may seem dated but its both endearing and humourous, and only enhanced my enjoyment. The film has aged but like a fine wine it has only got better!

Ridiculously faithful to the novel, to a fault. Redford is a good Gatsby, but Farrow is miscast and ultimately the film comes off as bland and one-dimentional and doesn't capture much of the turmoil and razzamataz of the novel. Here's hoping Baz Luhrman's penchant glitz and melodrama will make for an worthy adaptation.

Great little 80's film. Can't believe I never saw this as a kid. I would have idolised it!

A modern classic. Never thought anyone could touch Nicholson's Joker, until Ledger came along. However I feel that Batman Begins deserves more credit. It is just as good as TDK. Here's hoping the 3rd installment won't let ths series down.

Excellent. I feel sorry for it forever being cast in the Dark Knights shadow when it is as good as (and in some ways better than) it's successor.

Sags in the middle a bit and has a poor script. Great visual flair though and very entertaining. I think the cast all did a good job, but especailly Charlize Theron. I would watch again.

Definitely in the better half of Marvel movies. Not as good as Iron Man, but considerably better than Captain America, imo.

Beautiful film. Raw natural and enchanting, but perfect for the story. A Loyal and visceral adaptation. May be a little too slow and raw for some, but I found it hypnotic. However WH adaptations often disappoint me, as they only cover the first half of the story, but I guess that would be better for a mini-series.

Mess of a movie. Not funny or that interesting, or logical at times.

Odd film. Thin script, hammy acting and very run of the mill plot. However, it does have that feel of just lifting right off the pages of a comic with little ateration, which makes it fascinating and a sold cult flick.

One of the weaker entries in the Disney animated classic canon. Still very enjoyable though and fine disney film that children will take to heart. Has a little less substance for older viewers though, which Disney usually do so well.

Very good film. Brutal, moving and oddly understated. Paddy Considine is excellent. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Not really much of a signiture Noir, but still extremely enjoyable. Hayworth is dazzling in everyway.

Pretty decent thriller. Trails off towards the end, but I would recommend. Why Melissa George isn't a bigger star is beyond me? She is great at carrying a movie, particularly in this genre.

Worth watching. Brendan Gleeson is excellent, and its pretty funny. Rough around the edges though. Lacks tension and ths story is a little weak.

British classic in my opinion. Silly, naff fun for all the family, that is sure to put a smile on your face. Repeat viewing essential!

An alright movie, but It felt more silly than thought-provoking. I felt like it courted controversy and deviance just for the sake of it. Not one of my favourites of Cronenberg
