Blue Murder at St. Trinians
Despite the almost complete absence of Miss Fritton, this was still enjoyable. Flash Harry is a great character and the female police constable is hilarious, as are the antics of the 4th formers.

Funny role reversal. We're all used to seeing these prim and proper British boarding schools, so to see this school is like a breath of fresh air.
At the time probably similar to the contrast between Married with Children and the Cosby...

Pretty Woman
This movie catapulted Julia Roberts into stardom and deservedly so. Both she and Richard Gere are excellent in this fairytale romantic comedy. No it's not very realistic, but it's never meant to be. The performances, on the other hand, are very...

Can't Buy Me Love
Another pre McDreamy Patrick Dempsey flick. Another romantic comedy that has stood the test of time. It still won't win any awards, but it's unpretentious entertainment and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Loverboy
Enjoyable teen romantic comedy firmly rooted in the eighties. Patrick Dempsey, long before McDreamy, did a few of these teen comedies and while they won't win script-writing Oscars, they're well made and still entertain today.

Son of Rambow
A fun trip down memory lane with some aaawwww moments and some LOL moments. A good mix between comedy and buddy movie!!

Enjhoyable piece of fluff, no Oscar-winning script but not too bad either and the actors do a good enough job. Always a joy to see Lindsay Wagner again, even though she's underused in this movie.

Gremlins 2: The New Batch
Good sequel, not as great or original as the first one but still fun. I loved the 'interval' where they break the movie and the references to others movies were fun too. Still very watchable...

Gremlins
Excellent horror comedy with great scenes and just the right amount of scariness. Recommended not just because it's a classic but because it's a great, fun movie.

Hollow Man 2
Disappointing script but at least the actors did a good job.

Hollow Man
Better than I remembered and the special effects in particular were fantastic!!

Sydney White
Really enjoyable retelling of the classic fairytale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Clever script, good acting and the two leads seemed to have great chemistry. A bit of a girly movie but fun to watch...

Andromeda Strain
Slow-paced but enjoyable movie. I did not recognise the names of any of the actors, but they did a good job. Liked the script too, may even read the book at some time. I wonder what the 2008 version will be like.

Catch Me If You Can
Fabulous comedy with an excellent script and great performances from Leo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. Yet another Spielberg classic

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Completely random movie that is enjoyable to watch because of the over the top acting. A random mish-mash of characters from popular fiction team up to fight a megalomaniac.

Lawn Dogs
While beautifully shot and featuring good acting, I don't get it. What was the script writer or the director trying to say ??? There are so many mixed messages in this movie that it's hard to make sense of it.

White Nights
Great dance moves, slightly convoluted script. Enjoyable to watch though, if only for a look at a political past.

Step Up 2 the Streets
Great dancing, but a terrible script with a tenuous link to part 1. The cast does an OK job but it just isn't enough.

Lars and the Real Girl
Sweet movie with great acting by all involved. However, I thought the ending was too predictable and that was slightly disappointing. Still, it's definitely worth watching.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
Surprisingly good movie with more than OK acting and a consistent script. Because the story is more or less known, it is difficult to come up with surprises, but the writers managed it. Gory, scary horror.

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
Weird movie with some stunning visuals. I just didn't get it, the characters were difficult to understand, the story was a collection of coincidences and while it was at times funny, it never seemed to make a coherent impression.
