12 Years a slave

12 Years a Slave - very well performed. I can see why it has won awards and is up for an Oscar. The fact that it is based upon a true story also sits well. Reminds me of the TV series Roots. Worth a watch 3.5/5

American Hustle

American Hustle yes some good performances. But the subject matter was not that interesting to me at least. 2.5/5

Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit

Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit - worth a watch if you have nothing else to do. No where near as good as the previous Jack Ryan outings, it has neither the suspense or the performances required. 2.5/5

I, Frankenstein

I Frankenstein very poor action horror not one to watch. very underwhelmed 2/5

The Monuments Men

The Monuments men while enjoyable to watch and quite interesting, if you are in to modern history like me. But not a brilliant movie. 3/5

Oldboy

Old boy is an excellent if a little predictable thriller. Pity there were not more fight scenes as they were very well choreographed. 4/5

Robocop 2014

Robocop 2014 simply does not have the attitude of the original and in no way competes with it. Performance are quite wooden apart from maybe Gary Oldman.Very average actioner! 3/5 at best!

Lone Survivor

Lone Survivor - very good action sequences. Quite well performed. But not so sure about the real reasons US forces are in Afghanistan and whether this paints a true picture of that issue is debatable. It basically says the same as what was said about Vietnam they are there to help the people hmmm? But quite moving none the less. 4/5
