Shadow Dancer is ok 6.5 out of 10. Clive Owen and Andrea Risborough star as handler and informant in 1990s Northern Ireland. I had a chuckle at some of the South Dublin locations they used.

Looper - would recommend very good. 8/10

Taken 2..not as good as the first but worth the watch. Must be said the camera work during the fight scenes if way over the top. The mad jumping about is head wrecking

Just watched Killer Joe...not for the faint hearted. Well worth a look 7/10

Won't to be everyone's cup of tea, some serious black humour and thoroughly disturbing scenes in it. Quality dialogue and tension though.

Would go for same score or even 8.5. After first scene I was saying "ahh no this is going to be shite".

The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Think this has to be my favourite movie of 2012 - stunning performances from the 3 leads including Harry Potter girl. A very intelligent subtle emotional movie. Won't be everyone's cup of tea but I can't recommend it enough 9/10. Added bonus of a brilliant soundtrack, anything that has Bowie and The Smiths is alright with me.

Must give it a look Dinny, thanks.

The first one wasn't very good.

Go and watch that wall flower film.
Taken was one of the best films in years. It was a hard hitting action packed, little dialogue with a memorable one liner and strong main character. Strong underlying story line.

Any movie that comes so highly recommended and yet exceeds expectations is quality.

I worry for anyone who genuinely belives this. It was a half-decent action film that has taken a cult-like status. Brilliant, it most certainly was not. It was good.
