Products Placements: None.
Minutes too long: None.
Deaths: 16-ish.
Attractive males: Casey Jones?

Best Quote: Donatello: Hello. Ok, sir, have you plugged you computer in? Is it switched on? What?! - No, I am not palying hard to get - it is not that sort of 'phoneline!.
Splinter: We cannot go to the surface to fight evil until we learn to stop fighting each-other.

Genre: Sci-fi/slasher/thriller with some philosophy thrown in.

Deaths: Almost everyone in the film.
Attractive males: Cillian Murphy.
Attractive females: None.
Pervs in the audience: None.
Highlight: The opening sequence with the sun and the spacecraft was stunning.

Title: Sunshine.
Genre: Science Fiction.
Good actors: Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Michelle Yeoh, Rose Byrne.
Products Placements: None.
Minutes too long: None.
Deaths: Nine.
Attractive males: Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans.
Attractive females: Rose Byrne.
Best Quote: "What did you see? What did you see?!".
Highlight: It is really smart and beautiful and emotional. The sun is like a God because it creates life - All the characters are really wooried and nervous because the mission is really important, and also they are too close to the sun/God - it is really overwhelming. It is really excellent - it is my bestest movie for ages, I think.
Lowlight: The ending is really sudden, and also it is sort of silly a little bit.
Score: 9 rays of sunshine out of 10.
Title: V For Vendetta.
Genre:
Good actors: Hugo Weaving, Natalie Portman, Stephen Fry.
Products Placements: None.
Minutes too long: None.
Deaths: Lots.
Attractive males: None.
Attractive females: Natalie Portman, and also Natalie Portman with no hair.
Best Quote: "People should not fear their Governments; Governments should fear their people".
Highlight: It is really cool V does not take off his mask at-all - All his ideas and beliefs are more important than his character, I think.
Lowlight: V's backstory is pretty silly - maybe he just wants revenge - he does not believe all the things he says, maybe?
Score: 8.5 fireworks out of 10.
Title: Monster House.
Genre: Cartoon.
Good actors: Maggie Gyllenhall, Jason Lee, Jon Heder - all the voices are realy good.
Products Placements: Mountain Dew, Wilson basketballs.
Minutes too long: None.
Deaths: One.
Attractive males: None.
Attractive females: Elizabeth.
Best Quote: DJ: I'm a murderer! Chowder: No you're not!...When it's an accident, they call it manslaughter.
Highlight: It is really funny and sweet, and also really dark and twisty too - it is like Tim Burton and Roald Dahl, I think. Lots of little characters are really cool too.
Lowlight: None.
Score: 8 telescopes out of 10.
Quote: Appendix

Quote: Blue_Jaaam
One of my favourite films ever! One of the only films that has made me properly laugh out loud, but also feel a little emotional at the same time (although there's one scene that hit home a little too hard, so that might be why...)
Title: Little Miss Sunshine
Genre: Road Movie
Basic Plot: Dysfunctional family travels from New Mexico to California to enter the daughter in a beauty pageant.
Good actors:Steve Carell!!!!, Alan Arkin, Abigail Breslin, Paul Dano
Products Placements: VW Vans
Minutes too long: Right Length
Deaths: Not Telling
Attractive males: Steve Carell rocks my world
Attractive females: ..no
Pervs in the audience: doubtful
Highlight: The End, Chloe O'Brian turning up
Lowlight: None for me
Best Quotes: "Do what you love and f*ck the rest"
Rating: 10 gay uncles out of 10

Title: Shooter
Genre: Action/Thriller/Conspiracy
Good actors: Wahlberg puts in a decent performance, Glover was pretty poor to be honest.
Products Placements: Just for guns and stuff, nothing obvious.
Minutes too long: Paced very well, so zero.
Deaths: Lots of Bad Guys,
Attractive males: Wahlberg could be considered good looking by some, OK in my book.
Attractive females: Kate Mara is pretty hot.
Pervs in the audience: The rape scene may have coaxed a few out...
Highlight: Wahlberg stalking around the buildings taking people out silently, reminded me of playing MGS3.
Lowlight: The ending was predictable, and slightly lame. Could have been handled so much better.
Best Quote: You don't understand how serious this is. They killed my dog.
Rating: 7/10.
A good film, based on the books by Stephen Hunter. Wahlberg plays Bob 'The Nailer' (Bob Lee Swagger), an ace sniper with the US Marines. In the movie he's your traditional troubled, betrayed-by-his-country good guy, who despite taking some persuading, comes good in the end. There are some twists in the story, but nothing too obscure. The books are very detailed, and very well written. He was one of my Dad's favourite authors, and he was always trying to get me to read some of his books. It actually upset me that I never did after seeing this film
Anyway, good for some sit back and enjoy type thrills, lots of cool action scenes, but it does actually have a plot that you have to keep tabs on, and Wahlberg really gets into the character. If you like the Bourne Identity films, you'll like this.

Title: Spiderman 3
Genre: Comic book action/adventure type... as if you couldn't guess
Basic Plot: Peter Parker has the girl, everyone loves Spiderman, and he's friends with Harry again. But then along comes the Sandman, and some nasty black substance that turns Spiderman 'evil' (though more emo...), and everything starts to fall apart... Can he defeat the baddies?
Good actors: No-one's particularly outstanding, but they usuals are all decent enough
Products Placements: Religion. I'm sure there were ones, but I don't remember
Minutes too long: Quite long, could probably have cut some of the montages
Deaths: A couple
Attractive males: Topher Grace and James Franco
Attractive females: Kirstin Dunst
Pervs in the audience: Don't see a lot of Tobey Maguire's body this time around unfortunately
Highlight: The French waitor, the 'battle'/fight scenes
Lowlight: Emo Spiderman... just... why? Admittedly it was hilarious, but not at all right as part of the Spiderman franchise... should've made it properly dark!
Best Quotes: Um, not really sure. There was some gloriously cheesy dialogue as always, but nothing that I can remember standing out, really.
Rating: Again, not sure how to glass it. Maybe 6.5-7 webs out of 10
Title: Alpha Dog
Genre: 'Down with da homies' based on a real life story
Basic Plot: Big time Cannabis dealer is owed money by someone who destroys his house, so kidnaps their little brother. They start by treating the kid well, but then everything takes a turn for the worse
Good actors: There are good actors in it, but most aren't much good in this, although Anton Yelchin (who plays the brother) is alright
Products Placements: Guns, drugs, others I can't remember
Minutes too long: As many as the film is long
Deaths: Maybe
Attractive males: Emille Hirsch is the best you get, unless you're in JT fake-tattooed up
Attractive females: If you like skeletons. Actually Amanda Seyfriend (Karen in Mean Girls) is quite pretty
Pervs in the audience: I'm sure there were plenty of JT fans there
Highlight: the end credits rolling
Lowlight: Most of the rest of it, especially random 'party' scenes that were basically an excuse to say 'f*ck' a lot
Best Quotes: 'Suck my c*ck' 'Tried that already, it didn't work' (that's how good this film was)
Rating: Maybe 3 curse words out of 10 (the basic plotline was alright, but the script and directing did it no justice...)

Spiderman 3
Have to agree with the above review it was a major let-down Venom only makes an appearence near the end which is pretty crap. The part where pete turns dark was funy though but why does he turn into john travolta from night fever when hes evil? The end scrap ruined this film for me it was as though Raimi felt he had to rush it and the overall effect was that it was cheesy as hell.
4/10
