A Million Ways To Die In The West - was hoping for more but was just ok. Couple of good jokes and some nice cameos but not enough to make it great. 6/10.
Enemy - blimey, this was a slow film. I'm usually up for this kind of film but it dragged on so much I was just hanging on for the end. Interesting final scene, and one which I've been mulling over a bit. 6/10 (extra point for the ending).
Fault in our Stars - 4/10
Let down by some blergh acting, not what I had in mind after reading the book, but cant blame the director for that.
Searching for Sugarman 8/10
Second time watching it, still holds up and is up-lifting. Still have questions left at the end, but doesn't spoil the enjoyment that much.
Caught this on NOWTV last night, only managed to watch an hour before getting to tired to carry on watching. What I watched was really good, I loved the first Star Trek film by J.J and really looking forward to his take on Star Wars Episode 7.
Having never been blown away by an X men film before, I was a bit sceptical about watching this one and thought it was going to be a very forced mehhhh marvel action flick... I was very wrong. I thought this film was fantastic. Great acting, great cast, great plot. 8/10
GotG - Finally gone and seen this after putting it off for a month. Posting in here for for completeness.
I'll be honest, after all the hype I'm kind of disappointed - nowhere near as good as I expected it to be.
Thor 2 was much better than this.
It's hard to put into words but it didn't move me - I did laugh at some things but at the end just felt kind of flat.
In a nutshell - too much cliche comic book, not enough sci-fi. But I suppose that is to be expected - it's still a decent film and I laughed at some things.
I loved the bounty hunting run around near the beginning before they got captured and taken to prison - makes me think of the Mobi-glas concept that will be in Star Citizen.
Positives:
- Great characters - Drax and Groot stand out as the best with Rocket a close third if it wasn't for his one-dimensional character (I will concede that at the end I liked him a lot more)
- some great dialogue/one liners - I thought Vin Diesel did a fantastic job voicing Groot
- good set pieces and nice visuals and effects - colourful and full of action as to be expected from a comic book science fantasy.
- love the old pop songs
Negatives:
- Mindless shallow story
- Some dialogue was just non stop shouting in each others faces, no change of tone - grew quite tiresome
- other than the pop songs most of the soundtrack was not memorable or fitting IMO
Overall - I'd rate it 7/10. Solid entertainment, nothing spectacular.
I don't regret seeing it - not a waste of money but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it again.
Started very promisingly but drifted off towards the end and left me feeling a bit 'meh' about it. Michael Pitt is great in it though, reminds me of Johnny Depp in Blow.

Either one of the most clichéd, poorly acted, directed and written films in a long time OR an exercise in the perfection of Irony.
When he 'died' at the end, by the knife he gave the boy, at the high school dance, enveloped in mist from the dry ice BY THE GRAVESTONES!!.....and then gave the boy the thumbs up!!! My GF and I literally laughed out loud
and also
"Sorry Both your parents have been killed" (looks back to the road and carries on driving) LOL
Either 3/10 OR 9/10 I've still not yet decided lol
