The Cabin In The Woods (2012)

Didnt really care much for any of the characters in the cabin, tho the stoner guy had his moments.
Quite enjoyed the chats between RJ and BW
Not sure it was as clever as it thought it was.
Not hugely scary, slightly creepy in parts tho.

Trespass (2011)

It tells you something of the quality of a film, when it stars Oscar winners Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman, and the first you hear about it is three years later when its on channel 5!

Cage has terrible glasses.

Kidman is really pretty.

Everyone lies and everyone seems to get betrayed by someone at some point.

Reminded me a bit of Hostage, but not as good.

Ben Mendelsohn has been in two Nic Cage films as far as I can tell, this and Knowing. He needs to stop, or get a new agent.

Oh. It’s not very good

Fugitive 2
All the scenes that were reminiscent of The Fugitive were not as good as the original
Liked the fact that while you knew Harrison Ford was innocent in TF your not 100% sure about Wesley
First time in a while seen RDJ in a film and he’s not playing Tony Stark
No facial hair either
Liked that they had all TLJs team from TF return in this
