Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (2003)
Cradle of Shite
Now I like to think i'm generally a good judge of character...the arts...movies...
Subsequently this movie instantly angered me. The classic over the top, arrogant ways of the American protagonist(s).
I don't know what else to say except avoid this movie and go watch anything else!!! Anything at all!! Even if it's some wild dog running around sniffing the potential mother's butthole to it's unborn pup. Even if it means staring at the wall you've been meaning to paint for three years. Anything...literally anything. Except the Twilight sagas of course.. They bring a new dimension to the term "what the f*ck was that diabolical and worthless sh*t..!?"
Just please, watch some movie with depth and meaning. Not just for me but for the sake of mankind. I need some saviour... The world needs some saviour.
Thank you

don't listen to ecoshift
Right, I may not necessarily give this a full 10/10 but I feel ecoshift's review was way too harsh giving it a mere 1/10 so therefore I am negating his score and helping the movie get back to a more respectable level.
This was an entertaining movie, something a bit different. And yes as with most movies there are flaws and yes there are actions taken that we viewers can't fathom...but it's a movie about two young men getting lost. Otherwise the movie would of lasted 20 mins long with 10 mins of the intro, 5 mins walking into the wild then 5 mins making their way back to the car. That sounds 'great', where would I pay for that beauty?
If you had not watched this movie then you may have spent an hour and a half watching something which truly was 1/10...like Glee or American Idol, so count yourself lucky!
You go watch any of the Twilight saga's then let me know if this movie really deserves a 1/10... trust me, I had to sit through one of them at the cinema with my ex and it still sends shivers down my spine what with the lack of acting, the poorness of the acting and the way the acting is so poor I left halfway through (which I have only done twice in my life).
Check out Elephant or others by Van Sant. Like Good Will Hunting... everyone's happy with that one
Misfits (2009)
Read on...
Credit is due...where credit is due In two simple words.....Pure brilliance I like to think I have a good judge of creative intelligence masked into current media. Some of you may think me a tool but for me, I know what I like. After having watched just two episodes I can say without any hindrance that this will, and is, an example of pure brilliance.
The setting, the music, the vibe, the acting..all of a first class standard which, if something I made, would make me proud, more than satisfied and make me wanting to make more of this type of entertainment.
Anyone interested in something clever and alternative would appreciate this greatly and I urge you to watch it. I cannot say any more...
Enjoy
The Transporter (2002)
I hit the sides of my head in disgust
Dear God, Why create a human being who can make a movie of this kind? In essence...another typical, over-the-top acion movie starring Statham, who I admired in "Lock, Stock...", who fails to pull through any of the same qualities as in the aforementioned movie.
It's far too outstretched in terms of believability and, as in my previously mentioned reviews, resembles another Beyond Enemy Lines a.k.a dodging bullets (and in this case pure fire to the skin from the after effects of a rocket to the building he's in) scenarios, where the "hero" can come unscathed no matter what is thrown at them.
It simply annoys me. More so being how, as I mentioned, Statham's abilities in "Lock, Stock..." far surpassed any of this action tat he's been involved in.
Fine, it's simple..full of gun power..a nice bird to look at.... For me, I need something with substance and fewer actors who sell out to chase something i'll never understand they are after.
As the subject states...so painful I was hitting the sides of my head in disgust...now I have a headache making this movie even worse.
Good luck if you enjoy this Rated 2 for that hot Twainese piece...it would've been 10 but the rest of the movie is something I wouldn't wipe my ar*e with so had to scale down accordingly.

ugghhhh
Basically, I would have given this movie 1 star but due to the fact that Thandie Newton might actually be the most perfect woman on this planet I had to bump it up a notch or two...
It reminded me of Behind Enemy Lines with that annoying "Americans can do anything" attitude. Evading a stream of bullets from several opposing forces and escaping unscathed....hmmmm "believable".
This movie however, this seemed to be on a more frequent basis and a grander scale. John Cusack and co. tend to have extrapolated any luck from the less fortunate and placed it upon themselves so they can survive any number of over the top scenarios in which death is seen as 100% certain.
I don't understand how people on here can call this entertaining unless you have the IQ of a pencil. It's one of those movies which would make the director a bit of cash only, I don't believe any thought was gone into it and it really was a waste of my time.
Anyway, to summarise Terrible acting, terrible effects (relatively speaking) and an unbelievable chain of luck. It's just plain annoying!!
I love Thandie though
