Zodiac

A San Francisco cartoonist, Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal) turns amateur detective when he becomes obsessed with a serial killer known as the Zodiac.

A crime story that draws you into its web and leaves you with a satisfying feeling. At two and half hours long it hardly has a dull moment and when it reaches its inevitable conclusion you actually don't want it to end. The murder scenes are uncompromising and not for those with a weak disposition, after all the director of Zodiac (David Fincher) did do Fight Club.

From Paris With Love

In Paris, James Reese (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) a young employee of the U.S. Embassy is sent to look after the insane and erratic American spy Charlie Wax (John Travolta) whose mission is to stop a terrorist attack.

Produced by Luc Besson this movie is packed with the most excessive and ludicrous gun fighting and violence that it is actually quite brilliant and one of the best action films we've seen in quite awhile. Totally love it and we hope there is a sequel, if only John Travolta can be bothered.

Best lines:
James Reece: I'm not your driver. I'm your partner.
Charlie Wax: Yeah, you're the chess player. I read your file.
James Reece: You play?
Charlie Wax: Do I look like I play board games?

Cop Out

A 'comedy' about a veteran NYPD cop (Bruce Willis)whose rare baseball card is stolen. Since selling it was his only hope of raising the money to pay for his daughter's wedding, he enlists the help of his partner (Tracey Morgan) to track down the thief (Seann William Scott).

Comedy - was it? Irritating, especially scenes involving Seann Scott William who was really funny...ten years ago! The chemistry here was all wrong. The movie appeared old and tired, even Bruce Willis looked bored, clearly only there for the pay cheque.
