Tell No One - Brilliant French thriller with excellent performances and a snaky plot. 8.5 out of 10.

 

Ace isn't it? There's some boss action in it too. The stunt on the motorway is cool.

Amen.

 

For me its

Il Divo - 6/10 cos most of it flew over my head in an 80's Italian politics kinda way. Looked fucking good though.

Into the Wild - 7/10 I liked it but I'm not a huge fan of road movies. Fucking tragic though.

[RedKnight]

Watched The Lives of Others again, I love it. 9 out of 10.

[Mendoza]

Rambo 4 again- an unpretentious actionfest with gloriously ott violence, 7/10.

[Ted]

RoboCop - 9/10. Even more relevant as a social message than it was 20 years ago. Brilliant film.

[odris]

The Santa Clause - 8/10

The Santa Clause 3 - 2/10

[Bob]

Hunger - 8/10

 

Story of bobby Sands' hunger strike. Very powerful and emotive, and i was pleased that it didnt dwell on wrongs and rights and who was to blame, just told a story - and from what i know and have read, told it accurately. Only got 8 because there were a couple of unneccesary arty bits which added nothing and i would have liked to have seen more about the election to parliament and maybe some actual news footage.

[Thants]

I'd like to see that.

 

Wendy & Lucy, new film preview by the same director as Old Joy.

7.5/10. One of those good 'nothing happens' movies. Time flew by.

[snez1]

JFK - Watched it for the first tme in years the other day. Top, top film.

[James H]

This is England - 8/10. Good, but a bit on the short side. Brilliant performance from Stephen Graham.

[Ted]

i'm halfway through 'Into The Wild.' I'm not liking it so far.

[Newport]

Elegy. Got to see Penelope's tits. So I'll give it a 8/10.

[SammyAftershave]

A couple of sleepers I re-watched during the week. Both understated indies that may have slipped under the radar:

 

Lonesome Jim

After enjoying his performances in both 'Gone, Baby, Gone' and 'The Assassinaton of Jessie James' I checked this out for Casey Afflecks performance. Excellent, funny and quirky, don't know why this hasn't got more praise. Its deffo one of my top 3 films about failed dog-walkers. Directed with no nonsense by Steve Buschemi.

8.5

 

Shotgun Stories

Another finely nuanced gem. It concerns a family feud that develops after the funeral of the Father of two sets of brothers (by different wives) spirals out of control. No fireworks or big bangs, but excellent performances all around add to the sense of brooding intensity. I'll be keeping my eye out for further work by the spooky Michael Shannon in. He was also very good in 'Bug'.

8.5

[Section_31]

RoboCop - 9/10. Even more relevant as a social message than it was 20 years ago. Brilliant film.

 

Watched it again last night and was thinking exactly the same thing, private enterprise taking over public services - to the detriment of everyone except the shareholders.

 

There were a few plot points I missed first time around too (Haven't seen it since I was a kid) such as the fact OCP transfered Murphy to that precinct in the hope he'd get shot up.

[hamstrung]

The People Under The Stairs

 

Funny 6/10

 

REC

 

Very good and a few genuinely scary moments 8/10

[Section_31]

Apocalypto - 7/10, predictable plot but beautifully shot, you actually feel like you're there. Amazing stuff if you're into films about past cultures.

Totally agree with the feel like you are there line, however.....In one scene, a bird, a Cattle Egret, is in the scene, but it's an exotic species that wasn't present in the Americas until the 19th century, for that reason.....
