Movie Review f the Month, best movie in a long time

I have seen some amazing movies this last week. A couple of which I laughed so hard my wife was complaining, I also watched about 15 episodes of Dr House, these also make me laugh as the character is so caustic with his remarks that I find it hard to accept anyone,especially a Dr would ever make them but it is very funny also.

1) Monsters and Aliens, 9/10, with this kids cartoon they managed to pull every silly sci-fi movie theme together and make a very entertaining kids movie with a plot that you could follow, this what i like about kids movies, a good plot. They had the 50 foot girl, creature from the black lagoon and the blob as the main characters, then all sorts of other bits and pieces thrown in including the music from close encounters, overall a fantastic movie and well worth the watch.

2) Crank 2 high voltage, 9/10, this was the craziest movie i have seen in a long time, it basically is a 90 minute street fight about a man who has had his heart stolen and a mechanical pump installed in its place as he fights to get his own heart back, I laughed and laughed at the pointless violence and vulgarity and nudity, not much of a plot but if you accept it is just being silly and not really making a point then you can just relish its silliness, in fact it was so entertaining I tracked down the Crank 1 and downloaded it to watch the day afterwards

3) Crank, 8/10, this was a plot about a hitman who was injected with some poison to kill him slowly supposedly but he manages to survive but kill everyone in his path over the few hours he has alive, very funny and entertaining, how I Missed this film which came out in 2006 I don't know but it is a very funny movie.

4) Hotel for Dogs, 3/10, a pretty silly kids movie, totally unbelievable plot and just about watchable for my little girl, not much more to say than that.

5) Fast and furious 4, updated, 5/10, a mildly entertaining movie with some silly car stunts and some silly plot lines but watchable, just.

6) Knowing, 4/10, started off OK with an interesting intriguing plot but once the plot started to unravel it was poor and a silly ending, not to spoil the movie, having aliens telling humans they were about to experience the end of the world in code to children was stretching silliness to its limits, a very forgettable movie and barely worth watching.
