 As ever with Wes Anderson, I never know what the hell I was expecting, but it wasn't that. As always though, it looks pretty.

 Fuck me! I wondered why they stopped making Superman movies. Now I know.

 Enjoyably stupid. Strippers everywhere were turned into zombies by a casino owning mad scientist. Lots of fake blood and guts, lots of strippers, and lots of really bad dialogue.

 A compelling but unlovable movie. Utter fucking insanity which cost over a million people their lives.

They are a brilliant studio. Only real dud IMO is Earwig and the Witch, ironically also an adaptation of a Diana Wynne Jones story like this one. Anything by Hayao Miyazaki is essential anime. I'm looking forward to seeing his newest (and final) film The Boy and the Heron, but it doesn't drop even in cinemas here until late December.

 I've never seen a Studio Ghibli film before, but after this I'm definitely going to look for more.

 Not a great story, but lots of fast cars.

 A psychological western about the dangers of obsession. It has polarised both critics and audiences and wasn't entirely what I expected, but I enjoyed it.

 OK, this has a deserved reputation for being really bad, but it's one of those "so bad it's good" occasions. Loved the AC/DC soundtrack (it's actually the reason I watched it). Stephen King decided not to direct any more movies after this. Probably a good idea...

 Brilliant documentary. This follows some great musicians and shows where they came from and what they do. And from the look of it, Billy Joel is a complete cunt, while Alice Cooper looked after his band members really well.

 I've never quite understood the appeal of psychedelia, and still don't after watching this. This movie came up in a pub quiz last night so I had to have a look.

 Bob Hoskins, Helen Mirren, and a non-speakings Pierce Brosnan. All in all, a pretty good movie.

 Watched it purely for the Maiden reference and knowing nothing about it, and was pleasantly surprised. The young Tom Courtney and James Bolam were great.

 Love this movie, but hadn't seen it for years. Peter O'Toole is a man with a bit of a grudge against a a Nazi U-boat.

 Wendy O. Williams wasn't particularly convincing as a teenager here at the age of 36, but then she's not a particularly convincing actor either. Good thing she had a music career...

 Apparently the goriest Hammer Horror Dracula movie. Low budget, and Christopher Lee didn't like it, but it's everything you'd expect for a movie of it's type. Also has a very young Dennis Waterman in it.

 Sloths aren't as cute and slow as you might think... Not as good as Cocaine Bear, better than Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey.

 Seen this before. Amazing cinematography, a simple but compelling story, and a real sense of menace on a tight budget.

 Solid with some real gruesome bits in the opening sequence, although it's a bit more slow burning after that. The ending is all kinds of sad and ironic.
