Current Movies - Rated and Slated out of 11

The Accidental Husband - OK a contender for worst film of the year so far. Uma what were you thinking? Really trite, really bland, really bad, really really bad. A must-see for all the wrong reasons and no yellow track suit in sight alas. (2.01)



Surprisingly enjoyable film with Little Miss Sunshine herself , Abigail Breslin and Isla Fisher (soon-to-become-typecast) stealing the show for me. Ryan Reynolds also gives a very human performance. (5.83)



Diary Of The Dead Zombie Franchise. A step too far here for Romero's walking dead. No empathy, no surprises, no plot, infact a real no brainer. (2.9)



The Matrix vs Bourne as billed, Jumper ain't and never was going to be. But it was enjoyable. Hayden Christensen is pretty though no De Niro (cough), Jamie Bell is fab as always and the plot deffinately leaves open a hint that there may well be a sequel to answer many of the questions that weren't in this high-octane hop-scotch of a movie. (6.0)



We all now know about the Oscar winning screen play by Diablo Cody the 'ex stripper' (for Kiki). Juno totally is a breath of fresh air. Juno is quirky, contemporary and funny. The narrative flows as do the characters who are interesting and witty and believable. This film will leave you feeling all hot-chocolatey inside. A must see and bring your own marsh-mallows. (8.16)



National Treasure Book of secrets has all the feel of a contrived sequel. Never the less it's a lot of enjoyable nonsense to fill the gap between the next Indiana Jones or Dan Brown enjoyable nonsense. Silly, unrealistic, and downright dizzy with a cast that must have been blackmailed to appear. (5.41)



The Award winning Cohen Brothers' Genius, Witty, Epic and Enjoyable tale of a drug deal gone wrong. Kelly Macdonald's amazing performance (the wee girl from Trainspotting) I thought was unfairly overlooked as everyone else seemed to get the plaudits. Josh Brolin, to be honest, out performs Oscar winner Javier Bardem's terminating coin tosser. Tommy Lee Jones also gives his best performance to date. No Country For Old Men is an all round worthy winner "friendo". Fab hair, fab facial hair, beautifully shot and just the right side of edgey. (8.25)



Rambo is better than Rambo 2 and 3 though not as good as Rambo First Blood. It's too gory for me and I was hoping for greater characterisation this time, I don't know why I just thought it may turn Rambo into more of a believable killing machine. It ends up being little more than a run of the mill shooty-firey blow-em up movie. (4.003)



Waz is a complex and interesting, dark thriller with enough twists and twisted bits to make anyones' night. This movie would win no positive tourism awards, focusing as it does totally on grey, desolate and misery-filled locations and characters. I loved Selma Blair's performance, Melissa George (Angel offa Home and Away) gives a very gritty portrayal of a newbie cop, but look out for Asher D's (So Solid Crew) unexpected and remarkable performance. By the Sally Hawkins (Persuasion) is also in this - soon to be seen in Happy Go Lucky (6.57)



And The Winner Is .... Juno
