22 Jump Street

SF: I enjoyed the first one so why not see the sequel? Well I wasn't disappointing, it was the same old thing and same old humor but I laughed during the whole film. It firmly had its tongue in its cheek and made a huge volume of self aware jokes. If you want a giggle then this is an enjoyable way to pass the time. 7/10

50 Eggs: This wasn't a priority for me to watch but I went along with my Channing Tatum loving partner anyway. I did enjoy the first one but wasn't expecting much here, so it was a Brucey bonus that I actually thought this was better. It is pretty much the same as 21, except for the extra self parodying digs that turned out to be the funniest parts. Well worth watching if you just need cheering up. 8/10

The Wolf of Wallstreet

SF: This reminded me of a mix between Blow and GoodFellas. On the whole I rather enjoyed the film, the plot was intriguing, the acting from DiCaprio superb and the direction was fine but not Scorcese's best. For the most part you could tell where this was going and it isn't breaking new ground but has enough pull to hold your interest for the most part. However the last hour drags somewhat and for me this could of done with being about 45 min shorter.  7/10

50 Eggs: Two words: Margot. Robbie. SF will be rolling her eyes that she is the first thing I mention in this review, but seriously, Margot. Robbie. On a less important subject, this is a great film with a fantastic 'rise and fall' story. The fall part takes a bit too long to get to but otherwise I cant fault this. 8.5/10

21 Jump Street

SF: I loved the series of 21 Jump Street so was curious to see how this would translate. Well I don't remember the TV show being like this but it didn't matter much and the cameos were a lovely touch. The plot was a little predictable but it didn't matter I laughed all the way through and with a comedy isn't that the point? Must given them credit for making the characters rather appealing and not going for the stereotypical approach to American high school we are all accustomed to. For actually making a silly movie I enjoyed, 7/10.

50 Eggs: I rarely laugh out loud in the cinema, even if I am liking the film. But there were at least half a dozen moments in this that made me do just that. 21 follows the Starsky & Hutch remake philosophy, and it works just as well as it did for that. Very funny. 8/10

Moneyball

SF: Another film that I normally would wait to watch on TV but found myself enjoying. I still know nothing about baseball but well executed. Only thing that bugs me is Phillip Seymour Hoffman is given top billing for doing nothing - all proper dues should go to Jonah Hill. 7/10

50 Eggs: It goes on and on but just manages not to outstay its welcome, and also accomplishes the not inconsiderable task of making baseball appear interesting. It's not going in my DVD collection, but its still a good 8/10.

DonkeyB: I love baseball, I've read Moneyball the book at least twice: I liked this film. It's too long though. 7/10

Overall - 7.333/10
