Iron Man

*****

Probably the best movie adaptation of a comic book I've seen, and one that would appeal the most to the adult crowd. Downey was fantastic; it would be hard to imagine any other actor taking up this part after his performance. Special effects, CGI and...

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

*****

After the debacle of Terminator 3, my heart sank when I heard they were making a Terminator TV Series. However, the ads during the build-up looked positive and I was so happy to find something that ain't too bad at all.

Torchwood (Something Borrowed)

*****

Just when I thought they were on the right track, they pull this clunker out of the hat. Back to poor humour, slapstick and special effects from the Evil Dead school of no-money.

Torchwood (A Day in the Death)

*****

I'm blowing so hot and cold on this series (as the bishop.....). This one appealed to me greatly and once again shows that getting rid of the rampant campness is a good thing.

Cloverfield

*****

The hype was huge and, for once, justified. What a superb roller-coaster action/terror movie. Loved every minute of it. I have to admit I was a bit dubious about the whole Cloverfield thing. Anything to do with the creator of that nonsense Lost is...

Rocky Balboa (2006)

*****

Like many people of my age, I have fond memories of the Rocky movies. I wasn't expecting much of this and for the first three quarters of the movie I was proven correct. But the last 30 minutes made up for the rest. "My" Rocky was Rocky III with the...

Death Proof

*****

I was disappointed to see that they split the two Grindhouse movies after the double-bill flopped in the US. But anything by Tarantino is worth watching and I was looking forward to Death Proof despite only reading the bare details about it. It is done...

Sunshine Movie

*****

I always want Danny Boyle movies to be great but his record really is more misses than hits. This snoozefest is yet another miss. Kubrick has a lot to answer for. It's like everyone is trying to out-do him by making the most boring space walk of all...

Shooter Movie

*****

I had no expectations for this movie. Turned out to be the best action movie I've seen this year. Perfectly paced with great set pieces.
