Hot Fuzz 7.5/10
It's a spoof of police buddy films. I really like Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, but I didn't love the film.
Nim's Island 6.5/10
I'm always on the lookout for children's movies with female protagonists. (I watch them with my daughter). So, I thought with Abigail Breslin (the girl from Little Miss Sunshine) and Jodie Foster, it should be decent. It wasn't. The girl was not particulary convincing. Gerard Butler was bad. Jodie Foster was great, but not in the movie enough.
Lassie (2005) 8.0/10
Starring among others, Lawrence of Arabia (Peter O'Toole), it was decent. Excellent acting, just a bit slow at times. There are better movies that focus on the home front in England during WWII.
