Movie roundup

Transformers

Probably close to redefining the term 'action-packed', funnier than I expected, mind-blowingly flawless CGI. I'm pretty sure my friends were laughing at me in the cinema because I was looking at the screen with the excited expression of a five-year old seeing their first ever film. I enjoyed Transformers much more than I thought I would. Except for the standard boring monologue at the end of the film, there is a lot to like about this film.

Fantastic four - rise of the silver surfer

Probably not as many one-liners as the first Fantastic Four movie, but an enjoyable addition to the super-hero movie family. Good, family friendly fun.

Alone

A horror film from Thailand, I'm not a fan of the genre, but after being dragged to this movie by my girlfriend, I have to say it was quite well executed. One thing that bummed me out a little about this movie was the twist about 30 mins from the end that, for me, removed a lot of the scare factor. 'Alone' has some genuine creepy, creepy moments in it. I managed to yell out in fear only once during this film.
