The plot: Four friends make a pact that they will get laid by graduation.

The good: It’s the defining teen comedy, it’s very funny.

The bad: It’s the kind of low-brow humour you expect from the genre.

Conclusion: It’s funny. Yeah it’s all teen sex jokes. But they are still funny.

The plot: When a former white racist gets out of jail he has to change his ways in order to save his younger brother from a similar fate. Basically it’s a tale of racism told in flash blacks as well as what is happening in the present day story.

The good: It’s quite strong, it’s a film about racism and is blunt about it.

The bad: Far from an action movie, not the happyest of endings.

The plot: Lester has a mid-life crisis, jacks in his job and begins to turn his life around, destroying the lives of those around him in the process.

The good: Fantastic story, Kevin Spacey, great camera shots, Sam Mendes did a great job directing it.

The bad: I would say long and emo so not for action fans. But I don’t want to put you off, because it isn’t. I can’t say bad about this film. Everyone loves it.

Conclusion: If for some reason you haven’t seen this movie yet, finish this sentence, go to Amazon and buy the DVD!

The plot: Aeon is a resistance fighter fighting against the Goodchild Dynasty – a totalitarian state which seems to provide harmony for its people in the last remaining human city on Earth, but of course all is not that rosy.

The good: Charlize Theron, the plot isn’t totally predictable.

The bad: While the plot isn’t predictable it is very, very generic.

Conclusion: Enjoyable movie, don’t go expecting to see anything new but go expecting to see something entertaining.
