Frankenstein's Army

Frankenstein's Army

Review: There are some nice effects in this horror flick, but God I'm sick of this found photage gimmick! It wasn't fun to begin with, and it doesn't get less annoying with time.

Rating: 3/10


Idiocracy

Idiocracy

Review: Just as stupid as expected, but sometimes stupid is just what you want. Not a good film at all, but it worked for the moment.

Rating: 4/10

Vinyl

Vinyl

Review: A really charming British comedy about an aged punk band reviving their career by letting young people front as if they are the ones playing. It is loosely based on the true story of Mike Peters and The Alarm who in 2004 released the single 45 RPM under the name of a fictitious band The Poppy Fields.

Rating: 6.5/10

Speak of the Devil

Speak of the Devil

Review: When sitting down to watching this documentary of Anton LaVey, I wasn't expecting that such a big amount of it is him sitting down playing the organ. Feels more like an audition video than anything else.

Rating: 2.5/10

Mud

Mud

Review: This is probably a good film. There's some nice acting in it and the story seems ok. Just left me bored, that's all.

The Cabin in the Woods

The Cabin in the Woods

Review: Joss Whedon. You can always count on that guy. If you want a good horror flick with a twist and great dark comedy, then this is your film.

Rating: 7.5/10

Oblivion

Oblivion

Review: Oblivion is a visual treat, but I'm not too sure about the storyline. It's a bit too weak in the long run and leaves me slightly bored.

Rating: 4/10

Last Shop Standing

Last Shop Standing

Review: Ever since I first heard of this documentary, I've been wanting to see it. And now I finally have. It's about the development of independent record shops in the U.K., and it's various ups and downs. It's perhaps more of a documentary for record geeks, but I think anyone interesting in music and our modern culture should give this one a go.

Rating: 7.5/10

Man of Steel

Man of Steel

Review: Never been a huge fan of Superman movies. He's too pure of an super hero for me to really like, so I didn't have too much hope for Man of Steel. It wasn't bad, not at all. Just quite boring to be honest. Better than the earlier ones about the dude from Krypton though, and some of the effects and action sequences was really decent. 

Rating: 5/10

World War Z

World War Z

Review: I enjoyed the novel World War Z, so was kind of hoping that the film with the same name would be equally entertaining. It just felt forced though, and the story is way too weak to work in the long run. Too bad. 

Rating: 4.5/10
