More of the same, American Pie 2 doesn’t pretend to be anything other than American Pie all over again, not quite as funny, not quite as cute, but worth seeing and with enough laugh-out-loud moments to help you forget your real life.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
A faithful to the book, enjoyable and decent movie let down by terrible acting by the main star and redeemed only by superb performances from those people around him.
Tomb Raider
A mixed bag of a movie, Tomb Raider is certainly a better-than-average game-to-movie conversion with excellent action set pieces of good-enough performances from the main actors, but the movie is let down by a lack of threat from the bad guys and a serious lack of overall menace.
Dungeons and Dragons
The script is shocking, the story terrible, the acting is horrific, the editing is a nightmare, in general, avoid this movie at all costs.
Star Wars Episode Two: Attack of the Clones
The second of the ‘new’ Star Wars movies is undoubtedly better than the first, giving us some decent action and dialog and poking a little fun at the Star Wars universe.
Minority Report
This slick interpretation of a Philip K. Dick story (same name) is a high quality fast-paced twisty and interesting movie which provides humour, action and intrigue in good quantity and although it’s not perfect the flaws are forgiveable.
The Last Boy Scout
Ex-Secret Service turned self-hating PI (Bruce Willis) wise-cracks his way through a high body count silly but thouroughly entertaining action movie to help an ex-American Footballer get closure.
Last Man Standing
Brooding re-working of A Fistful of Dollars (et al.) set in prohibition America where Smith (Bruce Willis), the man with no name, plays two gangs in a deserted town against each other to deadly and tense results giving us a solid performance and totally enjoyable viewing experience.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This well paced yet gentle sequel to the first three Indy movies will entertain fans and families alike but it may not deliver enough punch to keep fans of tougher action movies entertained.
I Am Legend
While this generally disappointing film lacks solid structure and suffers from sudden changes in pace it still delivers some exhilarating scenes and good performances, but it will leave you in the lurch at the altar without a week of honeymoon fun to look forward to.
