Needed something very light last night so watched Ratatouille which I enjoyed a LOT more than I thought I would.


That film's wicked hehe :D:D

I had a bit of a marathon over the weekend and watched

The assaination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (*breathes*) which I found a bit dull and I'd bought it :(

Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind - Bonkers :D

National Treasure - Indiana Jones style adventure film, pretty enjoyable. :cool:
 
Hard Candy - an immensely annoying film. I thought it was dead clever but was as vaccuous as Jordan in a babydoll dress giving a handjob to Chris Langham. Nicely shot though.

Hmmm did leave a bitter taste in the mouth that one, did well for such a low budget though...

Smoking Aces, which had all the ingredients, contract on a mafia bod, ex-cop bailsmen, neo-nazi heavy metal thugs, the mysterious infiltrating "Swede", the female pair one disguised as a hooker the other sitting in a nearby building with a sniper rifle, the FBI etc, of a cracking action movie but never really kicked off. Did think had it been French it'd be mad action from the thirty minute mark to the end.
 
Into the Wild. Had been avoiding the film till now, but was surprised how much I liked it. I had little sympathy for the unbearably self-righteous Christopher McCandless when I read the book. He went to Alaska ill prepared and if he'd taken a map and a compass he could have walked to safety when things got dicey. While the film does romanticise him, it works on it's own terms and the characters Christopher encounters are all beautifully drawn and complex. The film looks gorgeous and it has a great soundtrack too.
 
Last night I watched The Quiet American - middling political thriller set in Vietnam in the late 50s with French about to pull out and the Americans up to no good.
It was alright - Michael Caine's acting has been applauded by critics in this film, but I thought he was dire. Watch him crying in a toilet! It's hilarious. I like his style sometimes, but he's not much of an actor really, is he? He does occasionally bring some gravitas t
 
Run Fat Boy Run - meh, funny in places but somehow felt like I'd heard the same story many times before. Pathetic English dude loses girl stupidly then tries to win her back from new American boyfriend with act of great will. 6.5/10

oh come on, it's worth a 7.5 just for having the great Dylan Moran in it!

Me and my lass actually trekked to the dreaded cinema for this, and sniggered all the way through a la Beavis and Butthead :D:D
