Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li - Really didn't need a Street Fighter tag on this film, could've been a generic action flick just and would've probably worked better. Nothing offensively terrible about acting or script in general, thinking about the story won't do any good though. It does have 3 cool brutal scenes, all involving the Bison character, it's makes me sad that those ideas were wasted on this film. Also some weak fight scenes and woeful special effects. Would've been better off if they spliced the 3 scenes into a youtube video, actually wonder if someone did that (sadly it appears not, yet). So in summary, it wasn't great....
Transformer: Revenge Of The Fallen - Giant robots fighting, with moments of humour interspersed. Looks pretty too though I did have some trouble keeping up with what the hell was going on in the fights. Basically the 1st film but with more robots and less human crap, which is good here.
*A Bug's Life - Pretty sure I seen this manys a year back. Some likeable characters, it's got the comedy and the feel good tale. Better than Cars but weaker than Toy Story. More a general family film than something brilliant.

Went home and forgot laptop charger in Belfast, so this day's selection came from whatever dvds my sister had lying about the living room, yarrr....
Four Brothers - Gritty violent action film about some guys going questioning people violently, and then more violence happens, then some bad violence but it all ends well after a plan that ultimately ends in violence. Nice brotherly chemistry between the guys though, watchable at least once for VIOLENCE fans.
Vacancy - One real boring horror film. Lame character backstory that they try to shove in (oh gosh internal strife in their relationship pfft), dull villains and just nothing entertaining in general.
Adrift - I'm gonna spoil the main premise of this film, they can't get back on their boat. That's it. 30 minutes setting up this situation then an hour as they try and get back on the damn thing. Based on a true story. Is it bad? Well it ain't great. Actually it's pretty bad.
Joe Somebody - It's Tim Allen. In a romantic comedy. No real laugh out loud moments and not the greatest plot but hey it's inoffensive and 99 minutes. Has Richard from Ally McBeal too so y'know that has to count for something.
