Four Films

The Bourne Ultimatum

Go. See. This. Film. It's worth rewatching The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy first as there's lots of shout outs to the previous installments. The film's cracking and Paul Greengrass is a stunning director. Oh, and in case your wondering, no the title doesn't make any sense.

Transformers

Bad acting. Bad dialogue. No plot. Shakey cam. But it's *Transformers*! If that doesn't mean anything to you, you either skipped the film or thought it was a waste of time. And it is. But it's *Transformers*! (Oh, and Shia LaBeouf is great. Looking forward to him in Indi 4)

The Simpsons Movie

Really enjoyed this. I know a lot of people say it isn't as funny as the series but a) the series hasn't been funny for years, b) the original series didn't have to sustain a 90 min plot and c) spider pig. Can he swing from a web? Course he can't, he's a pig.

Hairspray

Wasn't looking forward to this for one reason: John Travolta. In drag and in a fat suit. And he very nearly ruined the film for me. But the rest of the cast were wonderful, Christopher Walken dances, and the whole thing is so fun and uplifting it's hard not to leave with a big grin on your face.
