Final Destination: Death Trip - 3D

I saw this film on 29th August
at Stratford Picture House

A load of nonsense with lots of gore and carnage. The 3-D presentation was very effective in showing gore right in my face, and sucking me into the horror. I'm not sure this improved the film.

Inglourious Basterds

Unglorious rubbish. It started well but got dafter as the film progressed.

A Perfect Getaway

I saw this film on 19th August
at Cineworld West India Quay

A nice twisted plot. But it could never happen in Europe because of Health and Safety.

Helen

I saw this performance on 9th August
at Shakespeare's Globe

A thoroughly enjoyable performance. I did not know the story before seeing this production and thought it would be about Helen of Troy. Instead it was of Helen not-of-Troy, the one in Troy being an imposter.

Moon

I saw this film on 7th August
at Cineworld West India Quay

An excellent film. A minimal cast was completely adequate and the story was tight and well told. The conversation of the hero with his daughter I found particuarly chilling.

G-Force 3D

I saw this film on 1st August
at Stratford Picture House

A fairly standard Disney kids' cartoon. Well done and amusing but the 3-D adds nothing and probably just distracts.
