Transferring a tried and tested formula to a new location is normally a banker but thanks to poor acting and characterisation and ridiculous aliens this horror sci-fi is just awful.
Goldeneye
Undoubtedly ridiculous but hugely entertaining with cool characters, a likeable new 007 and awesome stunts. Just the shot in the arm the Bond series needed.
Leningrad Cowboys Go America
One of the best spoof musicals ever and it comes from Finland. Leningrad Cowboys Go America is a great take on the American Dream with plenty of amusing moments and a wonderful style.
13 Assassins
A visual and action packed triumph that will delight those who get aroused by swords and Samurais. It’s well paced and entertaining however some people (me) may just find the epic final battle scene a little repetitious and boring.
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
Don’t be put off by the synopsis. A film about perfume and sniffing really can be a dark, intriguing thriller.
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol
A likeable, old fashioned blockbuster that puts the Mission: Impossible franchise and Tom Cruise back on track. Not a classic but a fun watch nonetheless.
