Stake Land
Vampires have wiped out most of the population and two people struggle to survive.
It started really well and it looked good throughout, but it was a little slow and lacked any real meaning. Its like ‘The Road’ with Vampires, if you like the post apocalyptic setting then you might get a kick out of it. The films protagonists are all very likable and the effects are cool, its just let down by a slow story.
DICKS: 6.9/10
Standout moment: Stake anyone?

Rare Exports
Santa is not the man we know and love.
What a film! Very intriguing from the start, this is a great little story. Its very beautifully shot and the location is magic, in fact every part of the film (music etc) is perfect. It gets very bizarre but is always weird and wonderful with plenty of dark humour. A unique film, enjoy!

Superheroes
Real People playing superhero.
Many people all over America are patrolling the streets as superheroes, looking to deal out justice and protect the innocent. It’s quite slow and not much happens but it’s nice to know some people in the world want to make a difference even if they go about it the wrong way.
More than anything this film/documentary is very touching and heart warming when you see the good they can do.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes
How it all began, the story of the monkey uprising!
A surprising film this, having see the trailer ages ago it vanished from press until it came out and its done really well for its self. The story is cool, the monkey (sorry, Apes) fighting action looks fantastic and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a bit stupid and over the top but a lot of fun. The only thing that lets it down is James Franco, who is rubbish as the scientist, but ignore him. Monkeys!

Captain America
A super hero is needed to win the war!
Another comic book film, woop (yawn). To be fair this aint that bad, the effects at the start are really good as the main character is a weedy, short weakling who is transformed in to Captain America by scientists. There are lots of annoying action scenes wedged in to the film which bugs me but I really enjoyed the setting and over all look of the film. For a comic book film it was ok.
DICKS: 6.8/10
Standout moment: The end did throw me.

Knuckle
Gyspy boxing matches.
This is a documentary filmed over 12 years as a camera man follows a family feud between gypsy communities. At first I found it quite interesting and the fights certainly grab your attention. You find out why the travellers have these fights and the learn about the pride they have for their own name.

Alamar
About a man and his son.
This quiet and simple film, is beautifully shot and invokes wanderlust in most that see it. A man and his son spend their last few weeks together on a island house, surrounded by water they fish and live off the sea. Its a really nice film which makes you think.

Cowboys and Aliens
Aliens pick a fight with some cowboys.
Oh god another comic book film, will this ever stop! But wait its got Harrison ford in it, gotta be good right? Well I did actually enjoy it, quite a lot in fact! It all looks very slick (the aliens reminded me of ‘District 9’ maybe it was the same company who did the effects). Its not clever or meaningful but its got great action and lots of cowboy clichés (in a good way). Ye-Ha I say!

Tucker and Dale vs Evil
Two hick friends buy a new summer home and get attacked by college kids.
You can tell by the name, this film is stupid, but its also quite funny. The story is actually very good, a nice take on the classic hillbilly killer myth. The college kids are suitably annoying so you really want them to die and some of the deaths are very nice! Its not the funniest thing ever but does have a few good laugh’s.

Horrible Bosses
3 guys have had enough and decide to kill their bosses.
This film did not get very well received but I thought it was super funny. The Bosses, played by Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Spacey are all brilliant! It made me laugh out loud and I especially enjoyed Jennifer as the sex pest, fucking funny (and hot). Check it out.

Your Highness
A princess needs rescuing and a lazy son must prove himself.
Yer , its is kinda shit but kinda good. It’s very stupid, some times way over the top stupid but some time the jokes are just right. There are lots of great lines in the film but it may be just a bit to cheesy for most people. Oh its quite offensive to, so don’t watch it with your mum, ok. Lower the tone!
