Thrills! Spills! Action!

One Missed Call is yet another remake of a Japanese horror film. Correction: yet another inferior remake of a Japanese horror film. It's not very good. It does feature the lovely Shannyn Sossaman though.

Aeon Flux is a film version of an animated series, originally shown on MTV, set in a dystopian future of some sort... the twist is obvious a mile off. THEY WERE CLONES ALL ALONG. It ain't no Beavis & Butt-Head. It does feature the lovely Charlize Theron though.

Doom is a film adaptation of the famous video game, starring The Rock. Can I smell what he was cooking when he made this film? No, but if it was related to this film in any way, it was probably some sort of shit-based dish. It does feature the lovely Rosamund Pike though.

Doomsday is the third film from British director Neil Marshall, and is kind of like Escape From New York. But set in Scotland. In a dystopian future. And not very good. It does feature the lovely Rhona Mitra though.

Red Road is a British thriller set in Glasgow about a CCTV operator who starts to spy on a man who has some sort of connection to her past... I won't give anything away, but the film drags on way too long. Good, but needed tightening up. It does feature the lovely Kate Dickie though.

Van Helsing is a mega-budget action spectacular starring Huge Action (aka: Hugh Jackman) as the titular hero battling an array of famous monsters like Dracula, Mr Hyde, werewolves... Unfortunately, the film is flat and lasts about 30 minutes too long. It does feature the lovely Kate Beckinsale though.
