''When a poor college student who cracks an online poker game goes bust, he arranges a face-to-face with the man he thinks cheated him, a sly offshore entrepreneur.''

Ben Affleck, Justin Timberlake, Gemma Arterton

Not see this and not heard of it but from that short description sounds awful! Like poker as an excuse for a thriller, rather than a film about poker, plus some 'online pokah is rigged' morale thrown in.

Is it worth watching?

Last Vegas with great actors , Freeman, MDouglas and Di Niro gave me some late night laughs

6-7 /10

That's another that looks truly awful. Don't know if i'd be able to overcome my cynicism that it's just a crappy cash in, to enjoy it. I'll wait for the video

american hustle. 7/10 i liked it but thought i would like it a lot more than i did. pretty excellent in every area but just lacked that something to make it a casino or goodfellas. but a very good film none the less.

The Wolf of wall street 9.5/10 lump on for di caprio oscar and best picture. done deal

secret life of walter mitty. 7.5/10 good film and no real criticism except you cant help feeling its a bit over processed and a better guy to play walter mitty would be easy to find.

grudge match 6/10 funny and worth watching in parts. this could of been a surprise classic as de niro is excellent and stallone is rocky. weak script and hurried story line that is a surprise considering its long running time. you cant not watch it but you will probably feel a little let down.

G R A V I T Y 8.3/10
The storyline is fairly basic and the characters don't show much depth. The script doesn't really ask for a decent acting performance as it's either small spats of radio dialogue, or grunting/yelping when things get a bit sketchy. This is all made up for and much much more by the cinematography. Just f*c)ing WOW Easily the best 'shot' space film of all time. I watched the whole film pretty much open mouthed at the camera work. It's really difficult to differentiate the special effects from real life and the whole film leaves you asking yourself 'how the fook did they do that?' The easiest answer was that it was all actually filmed in space as there's not one moment to make you doubt that. Am really looking forward to see the 'making of.'

Spoiler:

Anyone else think a better ending would have been her crawling out of the water to be met by her daughter? Or was that option intentionally put there for the audience to possibly expect?

Not in the running at the moment, at 66 to 1 for best film, are you backing it?

All Is Lost
3/10

Really disappointed in this. Redford was terrible and it was annoying to see him hobbling about a boat acting like he was 10 yrs older than he actually is. Painfully slow for a single handed yachtsman. Nothing at all had any realism. He made idiotic decisions constantly. He seemed to have superhuman strength on numerous occasions. The storm scenes were a joke. There was so much scope for a true story of heroism/survival but it seemed to want to focus on him sitting down next to a large sun hat whilst getting painfully sunburned. I nearly turned it off in disgust. Maybe I'm more tuned in to the realism due to my various yachting jobs and current skippering job, but I can't see the layman watching this and getting a thrill.

If you want a true story of survival and want to truly discover what the word awesome means, go read Steven Callahan's Adrift: Lost at sea for 76 days. It's a book for pirates and landlubbers alike.

Dredd - 9/10

This is a proper film. Remember when they used to make proper films? This is one of those.

We're the Millers 6/10

A standard things go wrong in a funny way, they try to get things right in a funny way, happily ever after film, but towards the decent end of the scale. I enjoyed it more than I fought I would.
