Original Fast and Furious - 9/10
Not seen this for years and it was a LOT better than I remember. The soundtrack is awesome, but there's no way I'll listen to it when driving, as it'll make my Kia Sportage think it's a nossed up supercar as I trundle along struggling to get to 60mph in 10 seconds.
Loses half a point as I think it ends too quickly. Loses another half point because of the ridiculous amount of product placement for Panasonic DVD players lol.

I saw it when it came out and have seen it a number of times since. It never fails to move me. Really captures the essence of Dickensian London and also features a great performance from Michael Elphick as the circus owner.
Sure, but it gets another 9/10 for Jordana Brewster, so by my count it’s an 18/10 film.
Your review doesn’t match your description. 6/10 is not a rating for a film that is carried by 2 performances but is otherwise poor, dull, predictable, borderline unwatchable and you couldn’t wait for it to end.
Your review gets a 2/10.
Star Trek: First Contact 1996
Sorry going through a bit of a Star Trek movie phase.
This one I have seen a few times before but not for a while. One of the better ones I reckon. If I had to criticise watching it back now some of the Borg queen interaction is a little cheesy, but otherwise pretty good.
7/10

I always liked this one. It's easily the best film featuring the TNG cast.
It's a 2/10 without those two in it.
I'd rather watch Taxi (1998) low budget French film!
Venom: Last Dance. Awful, quite enjoyed the other ones but this was ridiculous from start to finish. They are in a secret base hundreds of meters underground yet when they escape through one of the walls they are literally at ground level. One of the attacking creatures got churned up in a plane engine and reconstructed yet some random alien fan not only managed to get hold of a rocket launcher but killed one whereas the general bloke shot one and it was untouched.
I love Taxi, had it on DVD for years in a set with Taxi 2. That's also fairly decent but they start to get a bit too ridiculous after that.
Taxi was written by Luc Besson.
Agreed. Used to watch Taxi loads. Of course I did have a 406 at the time (although mine was green)...
It was just a mad idea for a movie, but trust Besson to come up with interesting ideas. The fifth element was made the previous year.
Taxi did well at the time $9.8 million budget and $44 million box office takings.
My Dad at the time had a burgundy 406, wonderful car.
The US remake was 100% dreadful.
Another decent film around that time with some great car chase moments was Ronin.
