Eden Lake - 6.5/10 - Usual predictable thriller, go to the woods to camp as a couple and getting hunted down by the bad guy; in this case a group of angry teens which is a nice change. Few intense scenes, much of what you'd expect, better than I expected and the half a point was for it being an English film. If these are your type of films then it's worth a watch.

Bastille Day - 6/10 As above, stereotypical action type film, reasonable acting, some storyline, felt it had been cut down a bit too much in places. Enjoyable enough to make us watch to the end.

Jungle Book - 7/10 I enjoyed it more than my partner who felt it was lacking something. I'll leave it up to you - you already know if you're going to watch it!

Bastille Day probably was cut down as it's release was continually delayed over the French attrocities.

Jungle Book I found lacking too - it was nowhere near as funny as it could have been. I mean Bill Murray and Chris Walken? Frankly if it hadn't been for Idris as Shere Khan I'd have walked out.

Sausage Party.

So, if you like Seth Rogan films you'll like this.
Also, even though it's a cartoon I'm kind of amazed this was a 15. I'm wondering what you'd have to do to actually get an 18 certificate on an animated film these days.

Anywho, thoroughly enjoyed this although I'm not convinced it has much rewatch potential. And I can never describe the contents to my parents.

Overall 7/10.

From what my sister said, I figure some of the trailers are crap simply because they couldn't legally show anything in context lol.

Finally caught up with Total Recall (2012 version). The most surprising thing about this movie was how good Colin Farrell was as an action hero. He's not an actor I like but he did a convincing job here and just managed to avoid being overwhelmed by the incredible amount of CGI. There are some nice nods to the original version but this one dispenses with all of the one-liner comedy. It also dispenses with going to Mars at all.

So…a visually impressive run-of-the-mill modern sci-fi action film.

6.5/10

Oh, and Kate Beckinsale looks good in it too.

Ernie I have read the story it's based on a while ago. Will get to the flics sometime this week to see what the fuss is about.

Jack Reacher - Never Go Back.
Generic action with fightin Tom Cruise. Nothing terrible but nothing wildly unexpected either. Plus, he's increasingly looking like he's too old for this [LIFTED].
3/6

In other news, Dr Strange today I think.
