    Grown Ups; one of the funnier Adam Sandler films for a few years!! <br />
    <br />
    Same old gang back together, Kevin James, Rob Schneider, Steve Buscemi and Chris Rock too, plus the others that have bitparts in most of his movies<br />
    <br />
    C4 are playing the Beverly Hills Cop triliogy (do you call them a trilogy?) in recent weeks (BHC3 next Sunday - big step down in quality from 1 & 2) and these movies are still great!!

    yeah Murphy had a heap of charisma!! Axel was a fantastic character... wonder how much he ad-libbed? must have been hard to resist given his stand-up background.

    Scary thing is Eddie Murphy wasnt the original choice for the part, Sly Stallone was.

    To be fair to the great man, it wasn't a comedy then just a straight up cop film.

    And that cop film turned out to be none other than the pure awesomeness of Cobra. Send in the Cobra motherfucker, so he can take down the bad guy in a fire and metal hooks factory.

    Cobra was handsdown the worst film of the 1980s.<br />
    <br />
    I oughtta know - I've watched it about 20 times.

    I watched it the only way it was meant to be watched - in a theatre packed with unsophisticated imbeciles raised on reality TV who actually believed what they were watching was authentic documentary. My buddy and I pissed ourselves laughing at the teenagers around us shouting "WTF!!" and "OMG!!!" and "This CANNOT be real!!" over and over and over.

    It was certainly enjoyable, but I was told it was the equal of Shaun of the Dead and Dead Alive (Braindead), and for that expectation, IMO it came up short. I'd rate it a 7/10 (Shaun 8/10; Braindead 9.5/10).

    Anyone seen The Girl Who Played With Fire Yet? Realy enjoyed Dragon Tattoo but read a couple of dodgy reviews

    Law Abiding Citizen. Fist 3/4 excellent final 1/4 ridiculous.<br />
    <br />
    5/10<br />
    <br />
    The princess and the frog. 2D is so retro.... Not bad but certainly not great. A typical Disney song-a-thon. Kids loved it but otherwise completely forgettable.<br />
    <br />
    6/10<br />
    <br />
    Orphan. Not one I will watch ever again but very good horror/thriller. Well paced, well acted especially the tween star and unnerving.<br />
    <br />
    8/10

    yeah Orphan was quite a creepy film, but pretty good!! One in a similar vein, Case 39 (I think it is called, with Sandra Bullock) although supernatural<br />
    <br />
    I thought LAC was awesome, aside form the shitty end! <br />
    <br />
    Now I know that as a book, where the Wild Things are is much loved and revered (not a big fan myself) and having not read it for years, thought maybe I'd see if I liked it in film....still not a fan, pretty average.

    Saw Inception last night and it really is a must see. It's a bit like the Matrix, but way better I reckon. Acting was good except for the girl from Juno who I thought was pretty average. Movie keeps you guessing all the way through and really is edge of the seat stuff. 9.5/10
