Ferris Bueller's Day Off

[Shaun]

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011 version (American basically ))

I haven't seen the Swedish version yet, but I intend to. There were certain elements of the book's plot altered for visual effect, I feel.

Spoiler:

For example, in the book Harriet has been living in Australia for years now and has a large business over there - and therefore when Mikael finds her she takes over Henrik/Martin's role in Millenium. However, in the film, she is shown to have been in London the whole time masquerading as Anita... Anita in the book knew Harriet existed, and phoned her in Australia to let her know that Martin had died.

Also, the chase between Lisbeth and Martin was quite different to the book - the book describes him as almost intentionally driving into the path of an oil tanker. The film seems to show it was an accident. And there was never any mention in the book of Lisbeth watching him die, or going to shoot him :/

Oh and there was no relationship between Mikael and Cecilia (in the film; there was in the book).

Small things like that aside, the atmosphere and the tension was pitch perfect, Rooney Mara was excellent, Daniel Craig was great, and the supporting cast were surprising (like Lisbeth's hacker friends - one of them's on BBC3 comedies all the time as really unknown roles, I was so shocked to see him ). And the plot's as gripping as the book. I think you'd enjoy it a lot more if you haven't read it. 8/10

Bridesmaids...7/10

[Visage]

Rita Sue and Bob Too



Still brilliant all these years later.

[Roy Mars III]

Youth in Revolt 5/10

Had some okay parts, but was mostly boring.

Portia Doubleday was the best part

[Bollo]

The Magicians 5/10 - really disappointing, I suppose because I was expecting it to be as funny as Peep Show

[rk3388]

cold mountain- its a really good movie id recommend it

8.5/10

[Niamh.]

Stephen Kings Thinner - terrible and enjoyable at the same time, 4/10

[Livia]

Cowboys and Aliens. Enjoyed it, Harrison Ford was good and Daniel Craig gets his shirt off. 7/10

The only reason I saw the whole of that film is that I was on a plane, had finished my book and they wouldn't get me get off.

..They always play sh*t on flights...and it's always painfully long sh*t to last the whole flight..I would recommend this next time Liv...


...moving on
RED....total cr*p...but hilarious 8/10

[Livia]

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Loved it.

7.8/10

It would have been 8/10, but I knocked .2 off because I think Gary Oldman's George Smiley was a bit of an impression of Alex Guinness's version.

[Shaun]

Oh, I've obtained that through totally legal means... I'll give it a watch later.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I hope they Serve beer in hell - kinda gross especially one part

Easy A - Not that bad

Just watched 50/50. Very cute.

[GypsyGoth]

Martha Marcy May Marlene



It was spellbinding.

[Callum]

The Iron Lady. Very mediocre film but Meryl Strep was just outstanding as Margaret Thatcher. Can't see anybody but her winning Best Actress at this years Oscars.

[Marsh.]

Horrible Bosses.

Ok film. Charlie Day is the funniest. It was a nice surprise to see Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell in very different roles to normal. But the script is very weak, with the premise it could have been so much better.

[Livia]

Driving Miss Daisy. I'd never seen it before. A lovely, gentle, poignant film. Hated the music. 7.5/10

[Locke.]

The Lincoln Lawyer - 7.8/10

So much better than I thought it would be, didn't really rate Matthew McConaughey or Ryan Phillippe that highly as actors going into it but they both give good performances. Really good story aswell.
