X Men Origins: Wolverine

I thought this was great. Good action, funny moments - naked man in our barn - and very sexy. I am not sure what else would be expected. Some people have said that some of his sarcasm has gone from the X films, this could perhaps be true, it was there a little but certainly not on the level that it was. It could be that as it is an origins story the sarcasm could have come later, although it would have been nice to have a little more. Despite that though there were some genuinly wicked moments - the opening sequence through all the wars was cool. I was very satisfied. Perhaps he had too many fights with his brother, but that is I feel a minor complaint.

State of Play

This was brilliant. Genuinely worth seeing. It is smart and fast, well acted and exciting. It is nice to see Ben Affleck showing some talent again, on screen. Russell Crowe was as amazing as ever and Helen Mirren was the same. I am not sure how it could have gone wrong with that cast but I was glad that it was as good as expected. I liked the fact that there were no real clean cut characters - well maybe Rachel McAdams, but other than her they were all slightly grey. Very very good. Go see.

I have gone from thinking Zac Efron was cute to being in love with him. I really enjoyed this, another one where you essentially get what you would expect. I was very impressed with Efron’s acting abilities, I am not saying oscar winning but you really could imagine that he had all of the later life experiences he was meant to have had. Better than your average chic flick. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Was not so impressed with Matthew Perry - what happened to him? I want him to break out of Chandler. GAY!!

This didnt get great reviews, I dont really know what more you could expect though. I thought it was wicked! Had lost of cars and fast driving and all that should be in a film of this franchise. I dont really know what else to say, it is what you would expect!
