Mid-afternoon film review time, as staring at database tables is driving me fiucking insane...



Spiderman 2

Obviously brilliant: a bit darker than the original film as Peter Parker starts to question whether he can handle the responsibility of being Spiderman and hence let's things around him slide a bit. Dr Ock was an awesome villain even if he did go a bit wet at the end. Best bit's: anything involving a fight between Spidey and Dr Ock, and any scene with Jonah Jameson (Peter Parker's editor). Worst bit's: not much really: the web-swinging CGI Spidey still looks a bit fake to me, and maybe he spent a little too much time with his mask off.



Around the world in 80 days

Not as bad as I thought it was going to be, they've basically turned it into a fairly jolly Jackie Chan action film, so there are plenty of stunts to enjoy if you get bored of the fairly lightweight story.



Walking Tall

Story is as follows: The Rock comes back to his hometown to find it full of drugs and questionable characters, The Rock gets his ass kicked in a casino, The Rock kicks ass back, the film ends. Slightly more entertaining than watching the Sunday afternoon Eastender's omnbus.
