Faster


SF: I was so bored in this whole film. I found myself feeling very sorry for the Rock, his chest is so huge he can't put his arms down - watch the part of him running out of prison. 3/10

50 Eggs: The Rock is good, obviously, but not much else is. Silly bad guy. But The Rock is good. 6/10

DonkeyB: n/a

Overall: 4.5/10

Limitless


SF: Starts off at a decent pace and there are a few nice directorial touches like the fight scene in the subway but overall I found my mind wondering and kept checking how long was left 5/10

50 Eggs: Lots of potential (no pun intended) and lived up to it for parts, but ran out of ideas in the second half. 7/10

DonkeyB: We had bad seats, front row way over to the left. Somehow the google-eyed, crickedneckness helped I think. 6/10

Overall - 6\10

Submarine


SF: Off the wall comedy that tickles me. Like Adrian Mole meets Amelie. 7/10

50 Eggs: n/a

DonkeyB: His dad is a guy with a beard off the OU! Captured some of the parts of being a teenager very well. 7/10

Overall - 7/10

Lincoln Lawyer

SF: This had the potential to be great but as a whole the film was dull and lacked tension. It almost felt like I was watching a straight to video or made for TV movie. 5/10

50Eggs:

DonkeyB: I loved this book. It was the first Michael Connelly I read, I've now read all of them. The film does not live up to that, but then how could it. Quite un-cinematic, disappointing. 5.5/10

Overall: 5.25/10

Rango


SF: The animation is phenomenal but the story...leaves something to be desired. Have to go with a low score as I wouldn't watch it again. 5/10

50 Eggs: I cant quite decide whether I really liked this or just thought it was merely ok. Its a strange film and had a unique style. 7/10

DonkeyB: n/a

Overall - 6/10
