Mortal Instruments
Watched this with the missus and bloody hell it makes Twilight seem like a masterpiece. This is the first time I fell asleep watching a film in the cinema. Even my girlfriend hated it with a passion, and she loves Harry Potter and other fantasy films. It was all over the place, the acting was poor, the lead character needed a slap and the story thought it is too clever for its own good. Only good points are Lena Headey (how the hell they persuaded her to be in this is baffling) and the transformation of a dog into a demon which looked like the Licker from the Resident Evil Games 1.5/10
Elysium
Really enjoyed this. Probably the best blockbuster this year so far. Was very underwhelmed by the likes of Man Of Steel and Pacific Rim but this definitely lived up to expectations. The acting was good (bar Jodie Foster, who I normally like), the story was decent and the action and graphics were superb. The first half of the film was better than the second half though, it seemed to lose a little bit of pace as the film wore on 8/10
Kairo
Watched this with huge expectation as people have branded it as one of the scariest films to come out of J-Horror but sadly this was not the case. It was eerie but definitely not scary in the slightest. Tries to tackle issues of class separation and social communication failures in Japan but the story seemed very disjointed and the ending did not fit the rest of the film. It over-ran by a good 30 minutes as well. Hoped for big things here and was left disappointed 4/10
