The Lovely Bones is, as a movie not living in the shadow of the book upon which it is based, unique and engaging, and full of a very frightening Stanley Tucci.

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.
Centurion
A Roman adventure yarn that, despite some decent action and an interesting enough plot, annoys in a hundred different ways
The Perfect Game
Dont run out and plunk down your hard-earned bucks for it, but if you want a pleasantly forgettable afternoon of harmless, melodramatic sweetness, go to a matinee with the family.
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.
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Remakes arent always a bad thing, but the lack of charisma from the leads and the script that feels like it was written by six different people who never met converged to make this a mostly bad thing with a few good bits.
