Alien3 | 3 out of 5

Moonwatcher — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 13:42:10 +0000

Verdict
As a massive fan of Alien & Aliens, I was hoping for a bit more from this film. David Fincher had a bit of a rough ride making this film, from re-writes to an early wrap, and i think that comes through in the final product. If you love Alien you will like this film too, you just wont love it!

You see too much of the alien for the horror to be worthy & the story is well trodden and smells of Cliché however Sigourney Weaver is dragging this forward regardless, and still shines!

21 | 3 out of 5

Moonwatcher — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 19:01:36 +0000

Verdict

We have come to expect better from Kevin Spacey, who turns in a solid performance along side a largely unknown but good young cast. This is very predictable, but a moderately interesting film. Nowhere near as clever as other films of the genre, but still easy viewing.

The Dark Knight | 4 out of 5

Moonwatcher — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 12:11:31 +0000

Verdict

Perhaps not as inteligent or as well written as Batman Begins, this is still a fantastic action film that does the franchise proud! Bale Is awesome as even, but Ledger steals the show!

Verdict

Fantastic writing as ever from Quintin Tarantino; this happy go lucky film, full of A list stars, delivers on all counts. A nice blend of intelligent dialogue and a thrilling plot, you cant help but fall in love!

American Pie: The Wedding | 4 out of 5

Moonwatcher — Tue, 26 May 2009 20:41:59 +0000

Verdict

A true return to form from the slightly weaker second film. Very funny & ever endearing, its rare you get a better all round American rom-com, this is far better than it really should be!

Schindler’s List | 4.5 out of 5

Moonwatcher — Tue, 26 May 2009 20:14:08 +0000

Verdict

Horrifically tragic true story played in a honest and beautiful way. A true Modern classic and Spielberg’s most compelling movie to date; this tear jerking history lesson is not to be missed!

Teen Wolf | 3 out of 5

Moonwatcher — Fri, 22 May 2009 20:15:21 +0000

Verdict

Far sillier than i remember, this lighthearted, rights of passage teen movie sets the foundation for the American Pie’s and Superbad’s of today. Very sarcastic, and mostly enjoyable, its hard not to like anything with Michael J Fox in it!

The Time Machine (1960) | 3.5 out of 5

Moonwatcher — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 00:31:18 +0000

Verdict

Obviously dated by today’s standards but has lost none of its charm. Awesome (and Oscar winning) stop frame animation time travel sequences and a challenging story make this one of the all time great Sci-Fi classics. Original is best! (in this case)

3.5 out of 5
