Watchmen (2009)

Less visionary, and more a faithfully adaptation of the acclaimed comic book. The acting is pretty hit and miss, but overall this pretty much lives up to the hype and deserves to been seen on the big screen.

90% Sin City, 10% X-Men. And I mean that as a compliment.

Sunshine (2007)

I re-watched this on blu-ray, and in spite of it's flaws, Sunshine is a near perfect blend of science fiction, cinematography, film score, and ultimately a tale of humanity. For me, Danny Boyle had already shown he was an accomplished director way before the Slumdog accolades came along.


4.5 stars

The Strangers (2008)

Genuinely tense (surprisingly for Hollywood) ''terror-porn'' delivers chilling suspense. Best lock the doors.



3.5 stars

Biggie and Tupac (2002)

East Coast vs West Coast vs Death Row Records.

3 stars

Mýrin (2006) aka "Jar City"

A well put together and chilly thriller from Iceland.

4 stars

Shotgun Stories (2007)

Centering on rednecks Boy, Kid, Son and Mark Hayes this blood feud tale has the best character names ever committed to celluloid, throw in some delicious visuals and confident acting to make this a film that ticks all the right boxes.

4 stars

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)

Didn't quite work for me, but still found most the performances relatively enjoyable.
