No dialogue. Just plot.
Finished Mesrine - Killer Instinct. Good, tight plot, keeps you interested throughout. I always thought Canadians were cuddly but their jails seem to be a bit brutal.
Watched it too. First 15 minutes showed a bit of his time in Algeria, might be worth watching again if you can. Didnt really see the point of going back to the jail though, obviously didnt achieve what he wanted too.

Winter's Bone
good film but not a lot of laughs
I don't think I'll be moving to the Ozarks any time soon

Great film that, should have won the Oscar.
Which is more than cabn be said about my viewing: Perfume: Story of a Murderer
Expectations had been duly lowered by everyone saying it was kinda crap. They were right. Had its moments, but overwhelmingly disappointing.

Perfume was hilariously bad, had pretensions about itself too.

Also the other night I watched The Woman In Black with Harry Potter, jesus that was one bad film, not simply mediocre but awful, I simply couldn't give a fuck about anything that happened in it.
Later I watched The Awakening, which was much better (not amazing but pretty good), a mixture of The Orphanage, Devil's Backbone and Shutter Island, though not nearly as good as the first two.

Nameless Gangster - best Korean film i've seen in a while, return to the brutal violence mixed up with comedy style that was so popular 10 years ago. That makes it sound like snatch or some parody film - it's not.

Duck Soup - Marx Bros at the top of their game, not a dull moment in sight
Slaughterhouse Five - George Roy Hill directs, goes without saying the book is far superior and the film looks very much of its era, that said, it's amusing and Michael Sacks makes a good Pilgrim.

The Octagon
Stop...Hammertime
Making my way through the pile of DVD's I've bought in sales and then not actually watched yet, first up - American Gangster
Really enjoyed it, went against several expectations (both narratively and performance-wise, I actually thought Crowe was better than Denzel overall)
Liked the fact the protagonists don't meet until the end, that always annoyed me in films like Heat ("don't have a fucking coffee with him, drag him in for questioning!")
Great soundtrack, ending a bit rushed though.
Other still-cellophaned delights ahead - Adaptation, Gone Baby Gone, No Country For Old Men, Avatar, Super, There Will Be Blood, Drive, Super-8, Ong-Bak, Attack The Block, Irreversible, Jericho Season 1, Hobo With A Shotgun and A Scanner Darkly.

Nine Queens - Argentinian heist/scam movie.. set in Buenos Aires. Good plot, nice twists, well-paced. Described somewhere as a 1 in a 100 film. Well worth a minor punt

The Bunny Game ~ It wasn’t my cup of tea. The hardcore porn start was a tad surprising (causing my missus to ask ‘what the FUCK are you watching’? as she chased a bedroom absconding 4 year old through the room). Weird camera angles, lots of shouting, confusing and then I kinnda lost interest; I sat through it because I wanted to see what happened in the end. Then I went to bed wishing I had watched something else instead.

Bad Boys (1983)
Like Scum but American and therefore completely failing to realise that less is more. It's an all right film, but it feels like just another film rather than asking you to think any more deeply. Also unlike Scum authority gets off very lightly here. Contrived plot, melodramtic touches galore. Still, Sean Penn is great and it has Ally Sheedy in it.
Also apparently the American term for "the Daddy" is "Barn Boss". When you remember this it just doesn't quite work.

Wow, what great actors Natalie Press and Emily Blunt are.
Beautiful Yorkshire locations too.
I must check out more of Pawel Pawlikowski's films.
He knows what he is doing with the camera AND his cast.

Filmed in Todmorden, I think.
Have a look at Last Resort if you haven't already seen it, an earlier one from Pawlikowski - Worth a watch just for the tower block on Margate seafront. I'm pretty sure the guy from Hawkwind was living there when he wrote the song High Rise.
Pawlikowski also did this short film called Twockers, a made for TV effort, still pretty good though.
