Title=Munich Score=9 Summary=Strong and at times quite brutal, this is a tough and harrowing movie to watch, but ultimately very satisfying. There are a few twee Spielberg moments, and a slight feeling of being a little lost towards the end of the movie, but overall it's a superb piece of work. Visually it gives the impression of the time, with costume and filming work shining, then there's the excellent writing and great performances from some of the leads. Well worth watching, but again, not an easy film to watch.

Title=Walk the Line Score=10 Summary=There's nothing but praise for this movie, the actors give excellent performances individually and together showing great chemistry, and strongly backed by a very good cast. Then there's the superb writing and that very satisfying circular story, filled with superbly visualised shots. The music is superb and gives such weight to that opening sequence. This is a stunningly good film, if you weren't a Cash fan before, watch out.

Title=Match Point Score=9 Summary=Not liking Woody Allen I was surprised that I liked this movie, and just how good it is. It's very real with some excellently scripted moments, and the turning point of this movie is a huge surprise, nothing that you'd expect from Allen. Johansson is very strong as is the rest of the British supporting cast, although Rhys-Meyers does disappoint somewhat. Excellent movie though.

Title=Flightplan Score=7 Summary=Surprisingly strong and emotive script with a good few twists and a superb performance from Foster. Bean provides good support, as does Sarsgaard but nothing too memorable. Despite too much Hollywood feel near the end, it is still a good thriller which keeps the pace going and the audience on the edge of their seat. However there are a couple of embarassing and very poorly written moments.

Title=Freaked on DVD Score=7 Summary=A bizarre, absurd and funny movie. The DVD offering is packed with extras including an audio commentary and a full movie rehearsal, both very interesting to watch. The comedy is furious and off the wall, and a surprise to see from Alex Winter. Great performances from Randy Quaid and Keanu Reeves.
