Historically inaccurate and over the top it may be, but this lesson in how to use CGI properly is certainly a lot of fun. Unless, of course, you are the Dictator of Iran.
Action
Centurion
A Roman adventure yarn that, despite some decent action and an interesting enough plot, annoys in a hundred different ways
Iron Man 2
A fun but pretty pointless sequel that retraces a lot of old ground and wastes a talented supporting cast in favour of an all-out blanket coverage on Robert Downey Jr.’s superhero.
Date Night
Date Night doesnt break any new ground, it doesnt offer any sort of existential treatise on life, and it doesnt succumb to crude humorit simply is funny.
Glory
This American Civil War epic has the feeling of a made-for-TV movie but is carried by a truly inspiring story and some excellent performances.
Clash of the Titans
Calling Clash of the Titans a ‘run of the mill actioner’ would be too kind to this vacuous, pretty boy swords and sandals borefest. And what has happened to Liam Neeson – why did his agent allow him to appear with big hair and a shiny, silver jumpsuit?
