Wedding Crashers (2005)

Totally forgettable...if you like Vince Vaughn, makes you wish you were watching "Dodgeball"...if you like Owen Wilson, makes you wish you were watching "Zoolander"...

Sin City (2005)

well ,i think i summed it up in the headline...unfunny ,school boyish violent misogynistic bull ,with what could be interpreted as encouragement for sex with minors.Take a bow,"special guest director" Quentin "okay?"Tarentino....oh lighten up i hear you say ..but this is surely the ultimate realisation of a"graphic novel"/"comic strip" total boring garbage..give me "the Beano" any day..

The Prestige (2006)

Good understated 'reveal' movie,this.
Christian Bale,good as ever ,lets himself down ,ironically with a forced English accent,that somehow jarrs against Michael Caine's natural London drawl.
Why didnt he just do a Michael Caine? ,that would have been fine.
Hugh Jackman is superb,Scarlett Johannson doesnt let the side down.
Then there is David Bowie,why oh why oh why? He spoils the film with a useless voice,and a dead-eyed performance that any number of quality third-string character actors could have taken.
I knocked a whole star off
