Saw The Tree of Life at the weekend, watched the first twenty minutes and turned it off.  One of the first times in my life I have turned a film off, normally would persevere with it for the sake of it but this was unbelievably shit.  There are films which are slightly different and artistic, but the first twenty minutes of this had no direction or logic at all.  Never saw anything like it.

Also watched the new Planet of The Apes film, was decent enough and could have been alot better.  Seemed to drag on a bit during the middle, and never seen an actress in a film who was as under used as Freida Pinto was - she contributed nothing to the film even with her obvious charms.

The Tree of life, i wrote a long drawn out reply, preaching but youd have to be a bit awake to understand it so no point. Beautiful movie imo, great acting, tough story, mesmerising vision, totally unique but unfortunetly not many will  get it for various reasons but no point stating them.

The Iceman

Watched Fast Five last night. I enjoyed it. The Rock over acted a bit as did Vin Diesel but it was a decent show.

Forever Green

Notorious. Story of rapper Biggie Smalls. Thought it was very well made and what an unbelievable rapper this guy was.

Fast & The Furious 5 is good, saw the BIG film last week and thought it was pretty good but nowhere near as good as the 50 Cent one.

Went to see the rum diaries during the week. Strange movie. Was based more around johnny depps carachter than any real stroyline itself.

Capt Pat

The Rum Diaries promises much in the trailer delivers little more in the movie.

6 out of 10.

Yes. Great performance by Michael Fassbender.

Finally got round to watching avatar last night. Visually fantastic but wasn't overly impressed with the story. It would have been nice to see it in 3d I think. 6/10
