    The Wraith

    A revenge story light on the actual revenge. Also, so many questions and no actual answers... just what the Hell...

    Expendables 3. Not bad. Ton of action of course and some funny moments especially with Bandares. It is what it is of course.

    The Suspect (2013) - Haven't watched a Korean film for a while and this one was pretty good imo.

    Ore wa, kimi no tame ni koso shini ni iku (2007) aka For Those We Love - After watching Yamato recently I decided to give this one a go too, it has a fair bit of soppy stuff in it but kinda expected that. Still worth watching imo. Read something on a US site a while back commenting on how this and some other Japanese movies romanticise the war and those involved, but seriously...American movies don't do that? yeah whatever.

    Watched both subbed not dubbed

    Suburban Commando

    Hulk Hogan as a space man in very early 90 suburbia. Also featuring Frank Welker for 10 seconds as the voice of the bad guy. I have no idea if this is the worst movie ever, or if it's the best thing ever... all I know is that it had Hulk Hogan flinging cats from trees and hurting a mime.

    Pacific Rim

    Why didn't they just build plasma cannon platforms in space to shoot the giant monsters the moment they appeared, rather than take a lesson from Mobile Fighter G Gundam and make robots to fist fight them?

    Minority Report

    Firstly, the movie was much too long for its own good; clocking in at about two and a half hours. Secondly, the film started off with lots of CG, only to abandon it about half an hour in and become mostly practical, as if they simply ran out of money. Thirdly, the film suffered from massive mood whiplash; the main character is on the run from the cops, then it goes from a tense standoff to unintentional comedy involving jet packs and a woman screaming to get out of her kitchen while trying to swat them with a spatula. Fourthly, and this is just me, but the product placement was blatant to the point where I knew where they were getting the rest of the money to finish the film.

    The Black Hole

    Glorious practical effects... but that ending. What in the name of all the various deities was with that ending?

    No really, did he become the Robot Devil from Futurama?

    Definitely not as entertaining as Cap 2, for me anyway.

    Inbetweeners Movie 2

    It was alright. Quite funny in places but not the best film, or anywhere near as good as the series.

    Watched Guardians of the Galaxy again. Everything and everyone shine in this movie.

    This has to be the biggest success for Marvel Studios to this date, commercially and critically. I know Avengers did it much better in the box office but they already were popular characters and it took them 5 solo movies to build the right momentum. It's quite meritorious what they did with some unknown for the masses characters in their first movie appearance. Now everyone talks about Rocket and Groot proving that there's life beyond the mutants, Spidey and the Avengers.

    And this was also the best year for Marvel Studios so far. With Winter Soldier and Guardians, both excellent films, they've proved more than capable to make way different kind of movies based on comic-book properties. Expanding the genres in their films is the smartest way to fight against both the audience exhaustion and those who simplistically label them as the typical superhero flicks.

    I really wanted to see this but I think it'll have to be a DVD job for me. Glad you enjoyed it

    Edit: Finally got round to watching hot fuzz. Great film. Enjoyed it way more than Shaun of the Dead.

    It's splendid, Theo. If you still have the chance to watch it on theatres, give it a try. I'm sure you won't regret it.

    I really wanna see Guardians but in the same boat as Stark. Hopefully it'll still be in theatres at the end of the month.
