Tyson Documentary/Film

 

So-so.

 

Nothing much I didn't already know, but it does portray him in a (generally) good light.

 

Worth a download, but maybe not £6.50 at the cinema.

 

5.5/10

Stay tuned for my review of the fast and the furious 4 tomorrow.

F&F 4.

 

Over rated. Decent action film, but we've seen the 'pedel down and shift up 6 times' in 3 previous films.

It's odd to say this, bearing in mind the type of film, but I think a decent film was ruined by naff car chases :-\

 

7/10

Gran Torino

I'm a big fan of the films that Clint Eastwood has directed, and loved Million Dollar Baby, but this isn't quite as good.

 

A good film that never really gets boring, but on the same note, never really gets too exciting either.

 

We're taken through a journey of old, racist Eastwood going from hating some chinese folk next door, to loving them.

 

As much as I love the guy, it's hard to take an 80 odd year old man seriously as a hard man.

 

Predictable end.

 

8/10, just.

Transporter 3

 

I was very disappointed with this, even though I'm a fan of the series and Statham's cheesey action films in general.

 

OTT stunts and a crap storyline make this a flop in my eyes. There's some nice visual effects.

 

Oddly, people who didn't like the others, seem to like this one.

 

The main bird in it isn't hot.

 

4/10
