The Matrix Reloaded
(2003)

If you didnt like the first go see it if you liked the first go see it twice
Cinematography at its best! This film startled everyone in the audience as we all sat gaping at its magical effects and just the pure beauty of the idea of the Matrix. It really matched the first and is well worthy of the top thirty. Me Rating it at 8.7/10.0 If you didnt like the first go see it if you liked the first go see it twice.

Keanu Reeves as crap as he is gave a wonderful performance but not a patch on Laurence Fishburnes. It left me wanting the Matrix Revolutions too bad to handle I'd reccomend this to any please email me with your opinion of this.

xXx
(2002)

A truly tense film.
This film is action at it's best! Although Vin Deisel showed a poor performance, I went to watch this last night because I am a great fan of Samuelle l Jackson, a few of my favourite's are 51st state, shaft and I'm sure these will soon be greeted by his latest film. But unfortunately I was half asleep the whole way through although I jumped a little at the scenes with him in, sadley he was no more than a character actor to my liking.

It is a bit corny in parts, but the action doesn't help it. I can't say this is amoungst the top 10 favourites of mine, the plot is spectacular but it needs tweeking just a little first of all they should have made Xander a reluctant secret agent (which I expected anyway), also to be honest they should wipe out the whole machine destroying the world thing. Which is stupid.

There isn't much to say about this film, but I will say that if you like the idea of your ear drums exploding go and see it, if not wait for the dvd and turn it right down because it's rather worth watching even when you take off it's many faults. 7.4/10

Spider-Man
(2002)

The one and only superyheroy film that werent corny.
This the first super hero film to not be incredibally corny, As I walked into the cinema I had low expectations as it had no major actors or a possible story, but I was wrong this film has to be the best super hero film I have seen yet! (bare in mind I have seen all the superman and batman films yes an utter load of crap unfortunately.)I eagerly await the next in this series, my expectations will be of great entertainment this time as I have been greatly impressed, I really dont no what all this quibble was about giving Toby Maquire the part, I don't think anyone could have done better. Mary Jane was absolutely perfect just as I imagined. To me this is a prime example of how super hero films should be: a good story, a little blood/ violence, and some drama and some every day humour( oh and some nice women to keep it iiiiinteresting!). Although one might comment on the green goblin as looking crap and ridiculous and not acting the part but as stupid as it was i laughed out loud at the part where the goblin says:"I was gonna kill her nice and slow just really quick...but now that you've p**s*d me owwwff..."I really couldnt have asked for a better film the best I have seen in a long time its about time I watched something decent! well overall I hope you'll agree that this deserved a strong 8.3/10

Porky's Revenge
(1985)

Excellent! The rarest amoungst films, a movie that strikes better than the original
Excellent! the rarest amoungst films a movie that strikes better than the original. Porky's revenge for me was a great gossip the morning after I'd seen it. A spectacular comedy but as always this comedy lost marks for poor acting. This was a much better film than the two originals it was a lot less dirty, (well...almost) and the story/theme was great!

I won't comment on my favourite part so-as not to spoil it, although I will say that this held an excellent impersonation to an old concerned grandmother. Every time I watch it it goes on longer than expected there are several themes and mishaps to take care of in this film. An excellent setting and pick of cast.

I should give this film 7/10 but dont be put off! see this film as soon as you get the chance it's well worth watching! I would like there to be another out soon!

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
(1999)

(A certain sort of humour,) I LOVE IT!
(A certain sort of humour,) I LOVE IT! Mike Myers really cant act! But This whole plot was great, but what was it dunno! It was just hilarious! I thought mini-me was adorable until I saw him still his middle finger and he was wearing a gold ring, He looked like a whimpy, drinking, smoker! the idea of Mike playing Dr Evil, Austin Powers, and Fat *whatshisname*, was great.

Although once again this comedy was let down by poor acting. If you decide to see this film you are at your own risk, Because this certain sort of humour doesnt often occur in films! 6/10 is my final rating*

The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!
(1988)

Fast, Witty, non-stop laughter!!!
Fast, Witty, non-stop laughter!!! A spectacular film, Although I werent too excited when I sat down to watch it? I suppose it was because a lot of the American films are the usual run of mill Hollywood bore, but this was better in many ways. First of all it wasnt rubbish, second of all it had actual actors in, third of all it had hilarious jokes in.

This sums up a perfect film! The funniest part was when two men were searching Leslie Nielsen, and one of the men held his arms behind his back, and the other guy searched his pockets but he accidently reached into his mate's pocket and got a wallet! he opened it and shouted to the man whose wallet it was: "Hey hes got a picture of your wife!" the man turned Leslie Nielsen around and punched him in the face! See hilarious comedy... should not be missed!

This film was great in many ways but always there is a bad point in which you must loose a mark out of 10 for, this is the acting, but in lots of comedys you cant act you must be funny so no comedy would be likely to get 10/10. All because there are either people voting who have no taste in pure hilarious comedy. Or because of the acting in which has to be poor to make it funny.

Leslie Nielsen also made a laugh echo over britain and the US as he played a characteristic comic character in Airoplane! Thats what he should be: a comic character. His passionate flirting was almost pathetic although it worked! He has the power to catch the viewer and then take them into never never land (then leave them behind). Basically he catches your eye you sit down laughing, laughing, and laughing and youll be left there with out noticing!

Yes Im referring to what happened to me! An 8/10 film lost 1 mark for acting and the other for the whole setting, laughter, character fault all summed up, If you havent see it now! This was a film not to be missed I started off with someone recommending it, and Im pleased! Hilarious, Excellent, Brilliant, Fantastic!!!

The Beach
(2000)

Brilliant!... Leonardo pulled off a stunning performance,
Brilliant!...Leonardo pulled off a stunning performance. A really good, mixture of category's, horror, mystery, drama, adventure... Although It was not too realistic at times. Good acting, good story, and a good setting. It was a real paradise, It made me want to stay in my seat and I could not move!

But like all movie stars after one big film hit they get a funky haircut, put some glasses on and go shopping for clothes in the second hand store. This is what Leon' done... He now looks like Daffy duck with plastic surgery. Theres always one explanation: to get into a magazine!

Although, this isnt the first crazy trend he's tried to start, he really did confuse me in the Beach, I liked him in Titanic better. But still a stunning performance in the Beach.\4****star rating/

The Full Monty
(1997)

A fantastic British film, Hilarious!
A fantastic British film, Hilarious!, This is one my favourite films of all time, the style of the film and characters were so realistic. As Robert Carlyle is a favourite of mine I found it hard to dislike this film. The attitude/personality of the film was great! Such real abuse in the performance such as Gaz needing £700 to get his kid back, its a pretty realistic story.

Mark Addy done good aswell as: Dave, his sadness was quite pertanent to real life as well. Very tearjerking at times, But all this did not change the comedy. Robert Carlyle can be so many sorts of characters, such as horror, He creeped me out in the beach and other films, programs.

Peter Cattaneo done a great job to create a unique men stripping, drama, comedy. Very unique indeed, At the end I noticed a star under Daves legs as it froze when they chucked thier hats off?...Rent the video now, if you can this is a 5*****star rating film.

The Parole Officer
(2001)

A great English film, hilarious!
A great English film, Hilarious! Steve Coogan is not the favourite actor amoungst Uk films but in this case he pulled off a stunning performance, I also enjoyed the series "The Office". But the film was better! This is an extreme example of a hilarious English film. Thick characters, a stupid cowardly hero type of main character, and the big evil guy drinking beer in the background! I love it! Coogan is recognised by me for his silly way to say "Ryyyyyaight".

If you havent already and even if you already have run to the video store now! His passionate way to flirt is pathetic, I loved the way he acted around Women I always laughed my head off. Although on the front cover it says the best British film since The full Monty I know it dont mean this but; The full monty was at least 5x's as good as this so that means That Parole officer was brilliant still but full monty better!

Ive seen Steve Coogan as a sort proper actor now where as the parts he used to play werent acting it was just telling jokes which still caught the public eye but hes a favourite of mine now. John Duigan did a great job, I dont know what expectations he had in mind but for me it worked brilliantly, a real spectacular film, EXCELLENT!!!

Sleepy Hollow
(1999)

Gothic Horror at it's best!
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, what a great team!, never yet failed to please, this is one of my favourite films of all time, Johnny Depp is a great anti-hero, not the usual run of the mill Hollywood bore!, I laughed out loud in the cinema when the headless horseman beheaded the running man who kept on running even after he was beheaded!, there is at least one moment in he film that they cut out of the video, the bit near the start where the bloke has a metal plate covering his heart, I won't say anymore so as not to spoil it, I would definitely recommend seeing it at the cinema as opposed to the video, the sound and big screen was very effective! I just cant wait for Tim and Johnny's next huge collaboration!!!

Ice Age
(2002)

Could have been better!
Could have been better! in other words absolutely rubbish, supposing these good votes get up to 8/10 it'll be a use of the graphics and because they like babie humour! I can understand the graphics, liking but otherwise, nope! not in my top 10,20,30,40,50 maybe somewhere in the 60's or 50's but nah, if your between 3 and 13 go see it but all 10's to 13 year old go at your own risk, because it may be too mature for you even!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
(2001)

Excellent but still would go for 8/10
Excellent but still would go for 8/10, A real good film for anybody under 14, but that doesnt at all mean that its not very enjoyable for anyone over that age, it had quite a bit to offer in every age department, but once again the childish humour went overboard just a little.But this did not spoil the mystery/mild horror/childish humour/fantasy film one bit, daniel Radcliff was the right boy for it as it must of been hard to find an experienced actor, with an average age of 11, with green eyes and black hair!but the book was once again better, excellent
