Rate/Review new 2012 film releases

That's the problem. You'll be hard pressed to find any politics, religion (or spirituality) or social commentary in his films...not giving a damn about addressing the real world.

This is why I think he'll be ideal for Bond - Bond isn't not about providing social/political/spiritual commentary on the world. Tarantino can write some good f*cking dialogue and shoot some pretty interesting shots.

There's a lot more to Bond than that.

Ghost Rider: The Spirit of Vengeance

Cage returns as Johnny Blaze. Other notables: Ciaran Hinds as "the devil" and Christopher Lambert.Quite watchable but also quite awful. Looks good in bright colour. Happy not to have paid cinema money to see it.

Obviously. But you think drama directors shouldn't helm a Bond film because they'll use it to make a statement on the world/society we live in. Tarantino wouldn't do that.

Total Recall: Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel

An awful remake. Brutal. Even two of the best looking female leads in big budget cinema can't save this turkey. The Biel character is almost pointless.

The Bourne Legacy: Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton

Another turkey. 3rd in a row for this franchise IMO Less said the better.

To Rome With Love: Woody Allen, Alec Baldwin, Ellen Page, Penelope Cruz, Jesse Eisenberg.

Allen is back in front of the camera but he's not hogging it. He's rather part of a large ensemble cast, who are probably all thrilled to be in a Woody Allen film, especially in the wake of the home run he hit with Midnight In Paris. Not one of Allen's more memorable efforts but still a good little time waster. A quirky, sometimes farcical series of comedic vignettes set in modern Rome. Much of the film is subtitled, which adds a touch of Italian authenticity.

The Amazing Spiderman

The Dark Knight Rises

Nothing beats well produced, big budget comic book fare.
