Sherlock Holmes. Pleasantly surprised with this one as I had thought that Ritchie would have butchered it. In fact, it's without question his best work since Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. It's flawed, but very enjoyable.

The Reader. I rather liked it.

Saying it's Ritchie's best work since Lock Stock isn't exactly a great compliment though, is it? :p

I found Sherlock quite average overall. Were it not for Robert Downey’s performance it would have been instantly forgettable.

Yep, French prison/gangster drama. Absolutely brilliant.

IheartBB 24-01-2010 01:44 AM

A Prophet was brilliant, went to see it today. It could have been a little shorter as my attention was drifting in the last half an hour or so, but other than that it was great. I'm normally not a fan of French cinema, but this was different. It didn't have a pretentious feel to it that I associate with French cinema, it was more gritty and real - much like a British crime film.

The Princess and the Warrior

Pretty much every negative stereotype of a bad, uber-mannered Eurotrash thriller rolled into one with a cheesy German industrial dance soundtrack thrown. No surprise this is from the people who gave us Run Lola Run. I guess I could only recommend it if you really like this sort of thing and you're nostalgic about all things 1990's (this was released in 2000, but was already pretty dated at the time).

Crash (2004) - 9/10

Shaun 24-01-2010 03:36 PM

love that film, Johann.

for me I bought The Curious Case of Benjamin Button yesterday. Really powerful film. The montage at the end of the people in his life, and their roles, is beyond moving.

Sherlock Holmes at the cinema last night.

REALLY enjoyed it, some laugh out loud moments, Robert Downey Jr. is FANTASTIC in this role and Jude Law (although I don't usually like him) made a great Watson.

Would recommend this film to anyone. Brilliant.

I also so Sherlock Holmes yesterday. I found it a bit drab tbh, I liked Rachel McAdam's character, Robert and Jude played good parts also but I thought for a Sherlock film, the mystery was so boring. The ending was fantastic though.

Did You Hear About the Morgans?


It was ok, but I expected more.

The Boat That Rocked

setanta 24-01-2010 10:09 PM

The Right Stuff. One of those films that I never go around to seeing. Glad I did now cuz it's a very entertaining flick with an all star cast.

(500) Days of Summer

Loved it and I'm going to watch it again now. :D

So did I.

Yeah, it wasn't the best. If you ignore the unfeasible plot and concentrate on the action, it's ok, but otherwise, it's really not.

I'm a huge Bourne fan so I set the bar high.

It was fairly brainless stuff though and your man Walhberg is a disaster as a leading man. Eh, which Bourne is your fav?

It's hard to pick one, but I'd say The Ultimatum might just pip the others. I think they have gotten better each time, which is unusual.. I usually prefer the original .. but not in this case..
