Title=Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Score=6
Summary=Darker and scarier than the rest with great effects but harshly edited and too fast paced with no time to keep up. Grint is the best young actor in the cast with the others struggling with overacting. The ending hurts the movie somewhat with it’s “get out clause” which appears from nowhere and seems contrived. Not the best in the series, but so far the second strongest.

Title=Transporter 2
Score=4
Summary=Statham is excellent in this under performing action film. He acts well and does some amazing stunts, and this is where the movie falls down with preposterous moments in some six or seven sequences in the movie. They are so bad that you’ll groan out loud. Still, Statham is great, as is Valletta. With such a great idea as the Transporter it escapes me how they can mess it up so well. Worth catching for some of the better stunts, but as a movie, not that great.
Title=Flightplan
Score=7
Summary=Surprisingly strong and emotive script with a good few twists and a superb performance from Foster. Bean provides good support, as does Sarsgaard but nothing too memorable. Despite too much Hollywood feel near the end, it is still a good thriller which keeps the pace going and the audience on the edge of their seat. However there are a couple of embarassing and very poorly written moments.
