Watch it for the first time, it was ok, not the big deal I expected.

Still I'll give it a 7.5/10.

The Housemaid - A man's affair with his family's housemaid leads to a dark consequences.

4 outta 5 stars.

This weekend I watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Thor. I liked them both WAY more than I thought I was going to.

Thor was too easy and too obvious, but it was a really great popcorn movie. And I thought the effects work was outstanding. The costumes were a bit odd, but the sets looked great. I even paused it a few times just to look at what you could see in the background. However, since it was obvious what was going to happen by the end of the movie it didn't feel like much more than a setup for whatever comes next (The Avengers, Thor 2, etc). 6 out of 10

Rise of the Planet of the Apes I thought I was going to hate for sure! But I actually found myself really getting into it, especially *SPOILER!* after the Apes escaped and started making their way North. My two big complaints are that the apes STILL looked like a special effect to me about 80% of the time (particularly the chimpanzees, who should have looked the best) and that *SPOILER!* there wasn't really any rising. It was more like some escaping with some implying of what could, or might, happen *SPOILER!* do to ONE other person coming into contact with the virus. I didn't actually have any problems with the human acting, though. Its a Planet of the Apes movie, they're not trying to win any Oscars for acting. Also a 6 out of 10

The Debt (2011) - Trio of Israeli special agents take care of unfinished business from a botched job in East Berlin 30 years earlier. Worth seeing for Helen Mirren. 1/2

Account of the last days of Irish republican hunger striker Bobby Sands. Stark to the point of difficult viewing, but a notably powerful debut from British director Steve McQueen and a breakthrough lead performance that put current Hollywood golden boy Michael Fassbender on the map. 4 out of 5 stars.
