SUBWAY
I've now seen four Luc Besson films (Leon, La Femme Nikita and The Fifth Element were the others), and on the basis of his previous work I considered him very much a style over substance director.
The Fifth Element primarily entertained because of the stylish flourishes contained within, while Nikita and Leon offered so much more. Nikita boasted both a fine central performance and relatively deep and involving script, while Leon was defined by a cool lean script, by the guns, by Gary Oldman and foremostly by the chemistry between lead actors, Jean Reno and Natalie Portman.
Subway lacks the plot of Nikita, the performances of Leon (Christophe Lambert is passable, though nothing more), and being set in a Subway rather undermines any attempts to lace the film with visual flair. The story?? What story?? Oh and the soundtrack made me cringe.
Just a bit dull.
4/10

rocky balboa -298768475/10 utter pile of bollocks!!!!!! if i wasnt at work and getting paid to watch it ide seriously be considering suing the makers of this farcical excuse for a film, for either some form of compensation (getting to have a free swing at sly for example  ) or at least the last few hours of my life back  |

In Pursuit of Happyness
6.5/10 - It was okay, a feel good story well told. It wasn't overly sentimental ............... so I didn't need to find another use for my popcorn bucket. In summary it wasn't great, but not as bad as I'd been expecting either.

What did you think? Was it easier to follow than Nightwatch? Daywatch 7/10, second part of the russian trilogy, follow up to nightwatch! |

Daywatch 7/10, second part of the russian trilogy, follow up to nightwatch! took a while to get into story again, probably should have watched nightwatch again first, just to remember characters, once get them again, flows through even at 140mins, if liked first worth seeing! |

Flightplan 6.5/10
Not terrible, but I wouldn't reccomend it unless you have nothing else to do.
I also watched Rambo, most of King Kong and I'm watching Terminator 3 now. All good films. In that order in terms of goodness I think. Seen them all before.

Final Destination 2 (last night)
6/10 I was feeling tired and so it did slightly freak me out more than it otherwise would do... slightly naff/bizarre deaths.

happy rotter and the prisoner of azkaban - bored on saturday evening, so had it on whilst filling in uni applications. enjoyable enough, a darker feel than those that had preceeded it. pity the kids still haven't got this acting thing sorted, but the adult cast compensate. 6/10

American pie 5 : the naked mile. 5/10 a few good chuckles in there but really was trying WAY to hard to be outrageous, any film that has a dwarf American football side beating the non physically challenged as well as dwarf love, is as far as im concerned running seriously out of ideas  |

Both superb films & Dr Strangelove is probably one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen.
Have you seen either before?
