Lakeview Terrace: A really weird film. Basically a single dad cop, who has custody of his children most of the time (or so it appears) has some new neighbours move in next door. However, they are mixed race, and that bothers this cop. He ends up turning their life into hell, blah blah. It was […]

Film: Righteous Kill (2008)
Righteous Kill: A thriller, in which the film constantly tries to mislead you into thinking the wrong way, which frustrates me. I didn’t think the story was all that good either. It’s not really worth watching, even though the acting is good, just the story is a bit pants. I give it 3/10
Film: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford: This seems to be a very odd film – it goes in the category of people’s fascination for criminals, which I’ll never really understand. It was very slow, and the Robert Ford character was very difficult to understand. I give it 4/10
Film: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: A film about a man who ages backwards. Very odd concept, but, I thought it was great. Not quite sure what the clockmaker had to do with anything though! I give it 8/10
Film: In the Line of Fire (1993)
In the Line of Fire: A film about someone who is trying to kill the president of the USA. I give it 5/10
Film: Gran Torino (2008)
Film: Moon (2009)
Moon: What an odd find! Very good sci-fi, with a minimal number of actors – only one actually on screen at a time. Not sure what can be said about this film without giving it away. I think there were a few flaws in this film too. GERTY was a good HAL type equivalent. I […]
Film: District 9 (2009)
District 9: I did not realise that a large part of this film was done in a documentary style – a style of filming that I’m not really very much of a fan. However, this film, even though it started quite slow, did manage to keep me interested in what was going to happen next. […]
Film: A Knight’s Tale (2001)
A Knight’s Tale: A silly, but fun film about a peasant who becomes a knight. It’s comedy mostly, with an attempt to be a bit of a drama/romance. I give it 7/10
Film: Brokeback Mountain (2005)
Brokeback Mountain: A film about the love between two cowboys. This film was good, but I didn’t think the film really explained the attraction, and how it started. It seemed that one minute they were just friends, and the next, they were in love/lust. I did enjoy the film, however, other than that part. I […]
