Movie(s): The Lives of Others, 21 Grams, and S.W.A.T (2003)

The Lives of Others:

Simply – very good. I’m not sure how I can describe this movie – it really is something that I think must be watched. It’s an interesting view of how the Stasi treated people (artists in particular) within East Germany, and the fear they caused within people.

21 Grams:

This was given to me as a gift… I had absolutely no idea what it was about. It should warn you that the timeline goes back and forth rather rapidly! It is a very sad film, but I’m still not clear where exactly it was going. Probably will need to be watched a couple more times! Purely based on the acting, I think I’d give it 8/10 though.

S.W.A.T.:

Bit of mindless violence, things blowing up, etc. But it was kept reasonably interesting. Why is the police boss always so annoying in these cop movies?
