Taken - just watched the first film. Very good. I wish Nolan's Batman was as good a fighter.

Nolan's Batman is a great fighter, but he understands that there's more to be a hero than fighting

And probably Jennifer Anistons best film. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

Mission Impossible 4 - I only stuck 40 minutes of it. Take a Bond film where they pushed the humour way too far, say Moore at his worst. That's the sort of thing you have here. Now I don't mind Simon Pegg at all, but if you didn't like him before this really won't help  They could've maybe walked the line if it was genuinely funny, but really, what's the point of a Tom Cruise action flick with sight gags? Literally, too... _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

The Raid - Worth renting, but that's it. Like many a film these days it's basically split in two. It starts off brilliantly as a brutal, and I mean brutal, action thriller. Just about everything you'd want from an action film is happening, and in the right order... then you get to the second half and it basically becomes a Jason Statham, everybody's a martial artist up for a five minute fight sort of film  If that doesn't bother you, you'll absolutely love this. I preferred it when everybody was going Die Hard, myself. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I quite enjoyed The Raid, although he's right about the fact the entire population of the city it's set in (Jakarta?) seems to have had extensive hand to hand combat training. Apart from the batsh!t 'twist' part way through the plot is a step above most action fare too. I get the feeling it's the new Ong Bak though - when it comes out everyone says it's going to change action movies forever but in the end, it remains a one off.

The Raid was tedious for me, Ip Man is awesome however. (sickening chinese propaganda, LIKE HERO, but awesome)

Cockneys Vs Zombies
4/5 in Metro today "not Shaun of the Dead but not far off, snappy editing makes up for its faults"
