Unstoppable (2010)

Really, 90 mins for this story? Love the plot's simplicity: fat, lazy guy screws up, + the attractive people save the day. Besides the guaranteed brilliant acting of D Washington, + the ruggish good looks of C Pine, not sure this one's worth the stopping at a R-R Xing for!

Adventureland (2009)

A funny, charming, thoughtful, coming-of-age comedy, with mostly authentic, endearing characters. Nothing wrong with this feel-good story, well except for pouty-lip, vampire girl, K Stewart.

Black Hawk Down (2001)

Superb special effects, an action-packed suspenseful movie. Was light on character development though. Unfortunate, as there were many possibilities throughout. For example - happen to catch the quick scene between the two bi-curious, or gay soldiers? The double entendres? DADT!

Weather Girl (2009)

A typical rom com storyline from start to finish. Full of as many attractive people, as it is witty, quippy remarks. But hey, what's wrong with some mindless entertainment every now and then?

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)

A spy film without all the conveniently placed gadgets and gizmos. Great performance by Gary Oldman, and suspenseful storyline. However, was dragged out at times, and they could've cut to the chase sooner. Luckily I watched this while stuck on a bus, but it's worth watching!

Prometheus (2012)

This did not live up to my expectations, nor the standards Ridley set with Alien. Despite the special effects, and Fassbender's performance, this was a let down of intergalactic proportions. All I have to say is, move over Meredith Vickers (C Theron), where's my escape pod?!

Burlesque (2010)

This was more like a Christina, with special guest Cher, concert-on-dvd than movie. Has a silly storyline, with some fun upbeat numbers in between. However, if I could turn back time... I probably would've skipped this one!

Weekend (2011)

Besides the fact this story plays out over a weekend, it was good to watch a film portraying two gay men as more than flamers obsessed with fashion, men, and partying. Defying the stereotypical gay characters portrayed in Hollywood, it has a depth and richness to the story.
