Saw this at the Movies.ie film fest weekend. It was the Mystery film and man what a film. Although it might be a bit slow for some tastes this for me is still the film of the year. Great performances and directing.. Dont miss it

One for the kids but still very enjoyable, with some great effects its worth a look see.

Some really nice effects but I found the story quite boring. It seemed to lack any real depth. I would wait until DVD or when its shown on tv some Christmas..

Fright Night

A very entertaining watch. A bit of tough in cheek horror with some great performances from the main cast, only let down by Christopher Mintz-Plase's characters reincarnation toward the end of the movie.

I went in knowing nothing about this movie but really enjoyed it. The plot is a bit thin in that it could have been an hour long t.v. movie but non the less very enjoyable

I really enjoyed the movie. It wasn't quite what I expected but once I released that the movie wasn't taking itself too seriously, I really enjoyed the action packed cheese fest. Just don't waste the extra few quid on the 3D it really doesn't add anything

Great performances from all the cast with an interesting story.. One not to miss.

Tangled

From an animators perspective, tangled is a masterpiece. with some great believable performances from all the Characters. from a non animators perspective same as above and a hell of a lot of fun. It wont win the best picture Oscar but its certainly should be in the running for the best animated picture. It is a great retelling of the old classic story which will have you kids engaged for the entire film and wont bombard them with brainless pop culture references. Its a good old fashioned adventure story, suitably entertaining for everyone.

Very entertaining with great performances from the main cast. Worth a look see..

Megamind 3D

While it has that Monster Vs aliens Feel to it (Which I wasn't a fan of) Mega mind is a very enjoyable film. Will Ferrel's voice really suits the character and the animator's have gotten some great performances from it. I think this will be enjoyed by all the family but its no Kung Foo Panda. while Dreamworks tends to be very hit and miss I think Megamind finds itself in the middle some where. Certainly worth a look see, in theaters or DVD. Oh and if the little guy a few seats over from me in the cinema is anything to go by "Megamind is the best movie I've ever seen" :)

Not a great movie by any means but if you want a brain dead trip to the cinema to relax your over stressed brain then this will do the trick nicely.

While Im a real anti fan of either of the 2 Affleck brother I must say that did run my enjoyment of this movie. The acting isn't great from either Ben or.. well.. most of the cast but I did find the movie had something to offer on story merit. I wouldn't rush out to see this in the cinema, instead wait on the DVD rental and save yourself the cash.
