This week I managed to catch up with the “found footage” sleeper hit Chronicle, the “does what it says on the box” Man on a Ledge and see Daniel Radcliffe’s first post-Potter chiller The Woman in Black. Here are my views on all three.

One of my most anticipated films of the year was Underworld: Awakening (admittedly a guilty pleasure) and so it was with great trepidation that I sat to watch a film that what was almost certainly going to disappoint. However, the reason I came away feeling like it was a poor film had very little to do with the rehashed story or mediocre action, it was being forced to endure 3D.

Inspired by a recent splurge of blog posts on the same topic (Paul Joyce, Milly’s Scribblings and Iain Wear’s Posterous) I thought I would share my A-Z of films.

I’ve happily managed top see three films since my last review so rather than write a post for each I thought I’d sum them all up here.

Cinema review–Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

When I left the cinema having watched the fourth instalment of the Mission Impossible franchise I’m glad nobody asked me what I thought because I honestly couldn’t say. I felt like I hadn’t enjoyed it even though I clearly remember thinking it was excellent. It dawned on me a few days later what had happened. The film was like a bell curve; it started well and the central set-piece in Dubai was as amazing as people had said it was. However, as the film neared its conclusion is totally ran out of steam and by the end I had forgotten how good the first 90 minutes were and was left disappointed by the lame last 30.

Cinema review–The girl with the dragon tattoo

I always want to be more literary than I am but sadly my reading speed means I barely get through 6 books in a year (I’ve been trawling through Cloud Atlas since October). However, a few years ago my friend passed onto me the Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy which starts with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I was gripped by the series and was pleased with the news that Fincher (one of my favourite directors) would be directing the English language adaptation.

Cinema Review–Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

When the first Sherlock Holmes movie came out at Christmas 2009 I wasn’t overly fussed to go and see it. As such I missed it on the big screen and eventually caught up with it over a year later. All I can say is I totally loved it.
Now the time has come for the inevitable sequel. How does it compare?
