Crank 2: High Voltage (2009 / USA)
An even more inane film than its hi-octane predecessor with a similar mix of preposterous macho nonsense and dry humour. It’s all good fun though even if it does push the viewers’ tolerance on a few occasions.
Angels and Demons (2009 / USA)
An easy on the eye thriller with a good pace but a lack of believable characters. Enjoyable enough romp though.
Stranger than Fiction (2006 / USA)
Offbeat comedy that has its moments of bittersweet romance and surreal humour as well as some more interesting existential dilemmas. A relaxingly light watch despite the subject matter.
The Island (2005 / USA)
Overly long sci-fi conspiracy-thriller that never makes full use of some of its better ideas. Full of generic action scenes and uninspired dialogue - Logan’s Run it is not.
Hellraiser (1987 / UK)
Dark and sinister horror with an intriguing plot, utterly disturbing imagery and amazing special effects. Slightly dubious ending but an absolute classic none the less.
