I no it's getting slammed by the critics but personally...I enjoyed it!!!!

Lady Of Deceit(1947)

An excellent crime drama from director Robert Wise about a scheming and calculating divorcee who risks everything by getting into a relationship with a short tempered murderer.Claire Trevor and Laurence Tierney both put in great performances.

Good film noir also known as Born To Kill, Robert Wise directed a wide range of genres of films

Leaves Of Grass (2009) Edward Norton turns in impressive and varied performances as twins, one a college professor and one a drug dealer, who involves his professor twin in his criminal schemes. The storyline is a bit thin, and the comedy element just isn't funny enough, but the relationship between the professor Norton & his girlfriend, played by Keri Russell is nicely done, and there's a fine supporting role from Susan Sarandon,as the twins' mother. A good country rock soundtrack too. Also starring Richard Dreyfuss & Maggie Siff 6/10

Great knowledge mate,Robert Wise was a brilliant director.

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein(1948)

The last gasp of the classic Universal monsters.The studio threw Dracula(Bela Lugosi), Frankenstein's monster(Glenn Strange),The Wolfman(Lon Chaney Jr)and the invisible man(Vincent Price) into the pot.Even though this is a comedy, director Charles Barton made this with total respect for all the monsters and it is a very handsome and enjoyable production.

7/10

Pompeii 5/10 - average swords and sandals movie which tries to be gladiator and earthquake rolled into one but fails on both fronts, decent special effects though.

Syriana(2005) Written & directed by Stephen Gaghan a thriller with an ensemble cast, including George Clooney,Matt Damon, Jeffrey Wright, Mark Strong, Christopher Plummer, Amanda Peet and Alexander Siddiq with many strands showing how the oil industry in an unnamed Middle East country affects, often negatively, different groups of people around the world. Despite the talent and intelligence involved, I found this over complicated and occasionally a bit dull. 5.5/10
