Benchwarmers, a review by Rich

Benchwarmers



For anyone who's ever been picked on, put down or pushed around, your heroes are here! Rob Schneider, david Spade and Jon Heder star as three older guys who know what it's like to be bullied. After catching some nasty neighbourhood kids picking on a friend's son they strike back by forming a three-man baseball team to challenge the state's best Little Leaguers. Now, cheered on by every nerd, geek and misfit inn town, these underdogs are about to have a field day in this slapstick hit comedy.

Film choice dictated by the company I was in, as normally I wouldn't have viewed this. However I must admit there were quite a good few laughs to be had, farting beef stew into anothers face and projectile vomit jokes are always better when viewing with a crowd and some alcohol intake 
it won't test your brain cells or be a pleasure from a cinematography or storyline basis, but just for a few adolescent guffaws it is good value

Flightplan, a review by Rich

Flightplan





Enjoyed watching this film again, Jodie Foster seldom disappoints and the action and suspense of the film was smoothly produced.
Skarrsgard and Bean support well, in a movie set almost entirely on a seemingly huge jumbo jet. It delivers the 'guess who the baddie is' right to the last 20 minutes, and you can't help thinking 'what if' for those who fly regularly.
The extras 'making of' detailing the planes construction and the camera angles used etc was fascinating.
A must have in dvd.
