The Killing Room (2009)
Wow this was boring. I normally love these kind of experiment films but there was nothing here. I've already forgotten what happened. 2/5
The Seven Year Itch (1955)

It's quite an iconic film as it contained one of Marilyn Monroe's most famous scenes. The Subway Dress

Otherwise the film is ok but clearly dated, people talking to themselves.. Seems a bit odd now but I imagine it to be perfectly normal in the 50's. I'm glad I've watched it as I can now see how modern day films have captured ideas and inspirations from these classics. 3/5
Some Like It Hot (1959)

Surprisingly, I've never seen a Marilyn Monroe film before and what a way to start! Some Like it hot is an absolute classic with a great cast and story. 4/5
Coming To America (1988)

The Muppets (2011)
It's actually a good film and great for kids. It had my son glued for at least 15 minutes. The cast is great (real people and muppets).
I stand by my previous review that if you suspend disbelief in reality then you'll actually enjoy the film. 3/5
Go (1999)

IMDB rated Go 7.3 which isn't bad for an IMDB rating, but to me, it's 10/10 or 5/5. That's the beauty of rating my own films as they are all relative to me and the time I watched them.
I first watched Go back in 1999 in the cinema and it brings back great memories of the of a simpler time.
Go was groundbreaking at the time with a new concept of film where the same story was shown from different peoples perspective.
With some brilliant dialogue and an awesome cast it has to be 5/5
P.S. I've still got the VHS original of the film
Her (2013)
This is a unique and surprisingly relatable film.
It's set slightly in the future. Far enough ahead to feel futuristic, but not so far that you're wondering why everyone isn't flying around in hovercars or living on Mars. In fact, a lot of it feels more relevant today than it probably did when it was released.
At its heart, Her isn't really about artificial intelligence at all.
It's about loneliness.
Theodore is a guy who's a bit down in the dumps, struggling with relationships and searching for companionship. The AI side of the story is almost secondary. It's simply the vehicle used to explore how people connect with each other and what happens when those connections aren't quite enough.
Of course, it helps that the AI happens to be Scarlett Johansson's and not Clippy from Microsoft Office.
Joaquin Phoenix is brilliant as Theodore. The character reminded me of a slightly less nerdy Leonard Hofstadter from The Big Bang Theory. The sort of bloke you'd happily have a coffee with, but who you'd also gently encourage to leave the house occasionally.
What I liked most was how believable the whole thing felt. The technology might be futuristic, but the emotions aren't. Most people can relate to feeling lonely, wanting companionship or trying to fill a gap in their life.
The film asks some interesting questions about relationships, technology and human connection without ever feeling preachy.
It's thoughtful, funny, a little sad and occasionally uncomfortable.
In short, a guy falls in love with Siri and she dumps him.
4/5
Sinister (2012)
To be honest it's been a couple of months since I saw the film and I can't remember what it's about. I remember it being good though. 3/5
