What film did you watch last night?

Salt,

Enjoyed it and it also had some strange photography giving the film a distinctive look 7/10.


Rise of the planet of Apes,

Too much CGI and it had that boy from Harry potter in it, 5/10
 
The Losers - 7/10

Quite a good film. Fairly predictable but what film in that genre isn't. Overall it was better than most action/revenge films i've seen.
The 1st 10 seconds almost makes you turn it off immediately...but after that it's great.

The Adjustment Bureau. It was very derivative: Dark City, The Matrix, A Life Less Ordinary... Not terribly impressed.

It's based on a story from 1954, so more likely the other way around! I found it pretty good if you think of it more as a romantic comedy than sci-fi. It was fairly dark but the jaunty music made it less ominous, which I think improved it beyond what could have been a flat-out 'serious business' science fiction film.
 
Monsters

Not at all what I was expecting. Only sparing use of cgi and an easy watch, saved from the 'in your face' approach of Hollywood. I liked it.

Salt got a lot of flak, but I enjoyed it. Thought it was a good film and good fun watching. Not sure why people disliked it so much.

Yeah, I realise that, and you're right that there's been lots of films based on it... I guess the thing is, when those other films have already been made, why make this one?
 
Knowing
Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage (National Treasure - Book of Secrets, Leaving Las Vegas) stars in KNOWING, a gripping action-thriller of global proportions about a professor who stumbles on terrifying predictions about the future and sets out to prevent them from coming true. Rose Byrne (Damages, Troy), Chandler Canterbury (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and Lara Robinson (Saved) also star in director Alex Proyas' (I, Robot) riveting feature.

6/10
I actually like this film, up until the last ~30mins. The ending is a massive let down. To soppy and unrealistic. It feels like It should have been a really dark ending and if it was, it would have been far better for it.
