Review of Special Correspondents (2016)

By Lenny R (322) on 28 Apr 2016

One of the stars is for the wonderful American-schmaltz parody song that Gervais wrote, A dollar for a hero; the other star is for everything…

Review of The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

By Lenny R (322) on 20 Apr 2016

Oh, well - so it's only the THIRD-best Batman movie ever made. Yes, it's pretty bloated compared to the previous two…

Review of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)

By Lenny R (322) on 16 Apr 2016

I have no issue with the subject matter, and I'm a fan of most of the actors, but I just find the whole thing so brain-shreddingly obnoxious…

Review of Battleship (2012)

Review of Hot Pursuit (2015)

By Lenny R (322) on 09 Apr 2016

Vergara is at her most screechingly obnoxious and Witherspoon appears to have forgotten how comedy works…

Review of Chef (2014)

By Lenny R (322) on 09 Apr 2016

I'm not a fan of food porn in general, or of pretentious gourmet cuisine, so the lingering visuals in the early experimentation and restaurant…

Review of The Devil's Double (2011)

By Lenny R (322) on 09 Apr 2016

I can't vouch for the accuracy of the events, and Lee Tamahori doesn't exactly redeem himself - I've never liked his work - but Dominic Cooper…

Review of Lucy (2014)

By Lenny R (322) on 30 Mar 2016

Somewhat ironically, it works best if you turn your brain off…

Review of Sucker Punch (2011)

By Lenny R (322) on 19 Mar 2016

Stylish as hell, and has some interesting ideas, but it's ultimately all zazz and no substance, like a two-hour music video…

Review of Man Up (2015)

By Lenny R (322) on 18 Mar 2016

The romcom cogs show a bit at times, but the dialogue is so good and Pegg and Bell work so well off each other that any little niggles cease…

Review of Trainwreck (2015)

By Lenny R (322) on 13 Mar 2016

The Apatow influence is obvious in the comedy/drama mix and the copious improvisation, but Schumer is a revelation, and manages to make what…

Review of I, Frankenstein (2014)

By Lenny R (322) on 24 Feb 2016

Was not as bad as I thought it was going to be... But still only gets 2 stars which isn't saying much about the quality of the film either…

Review of Spider-Man 2 (2004)

By Lenny R (322) on 06 Feb 2016

Review of The Fast and the Furious (2001)

By Lenny R (322) on 03 Feb 2016

It was good. Never actually watched the whole movie until now. It was slower paced then I thought it would be. The stunts were good and the action…

Review of Sharknado 2: The Second One (2014)

By Lenny R (322) on 22 Jan 2016

The first Sharknado is so bad it's good. This one is also so bad it's good, but it's not as good as the first one, due to it being more bad…

Review of Les Misérables (2012)

By Lenny R (322) on 05 Jan 2016

Great performances by all but Rusty, who seems to be concentrating too hard on the singing to bother much with the acting, and is nowhere near…

Review of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)
