Law Abiding Citizen (Film Review)
Ten years after the murders of his wife and daughter, Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) decides to take the law into his own hands by co-ordinating a series of attacks on not only the men responsible but also those within the Philadelphia legal system who allowed the unjust legal decisions to go ahead. The film also stars Jamie Foxx as the lawyer who must race against time to meet Shelton's demands in order to save the lives of the people involved in the murder trial all those years ago.

Jennifer's Body (Film Review)
The film from writer Diablo Cody was hyped up due to the success of Juno. However, this film failed to live up to the hype. I know, a film with Megan Fox in the lead, how could it fail? Well, firstly the story itself was good but the acting left me unconvinced as to whether this was a good film or not.
We have seen Megan Fox (Transformers) and Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia) in good roles before so why had they suddenly performed badly in this film? Was it the directing? Karyn Kusama (Aeon Flux) is a fairly unfamiliar director, so was she ready for this type of film? Did the actors fit the genre? ...
