Arizona Dream 7.5/10 charming, lighthearted stuff. A bit weird too. Johnny Depp's character is how I imagine Salvatorin to be in real life lol

Oh I love that film. I used to have its audio track recorded on a tape which I used to play in my car.

Rushmore:

The first 20 minutes I thought it was quite funny. But then it waters down to meh.

meh/10

depressing as fuck. better than i expected.

watch this one:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460034/

the iceman - kinda pointless and shallow, it doesn't really matter if it's based on a real story if there's nothing new to say. decent shannon though.

gonna rewatch the harry potter series

joe's apartment - very fun

P.I.S.S. - I love the part where he tries to play drums.

total recall (2012) - total rubbish. philip k. dick will likely return from the dead soon to kill off everyone who has destroyed him on film, quite possibly starting with len wiseman

Lovefilm has a load of good films on the instant package right now.

I watched Casa de mi Padre last night and really enjoyed it. 8/10

i love this film. de niro keeps his ass clean though

night of the hunter

this is a ten out of ten movie. i've seen it a number of times, just amazing cinematography, robert mitchum is iconic. wish we could bring him back and cast him as judge holden in that blood meridian adaptation no one wants to make.

saw it for the first time earlier this year and holy shit fire it is indeed incredible!!!!

Beasts of the Southern Wild 7.5/10

I really liked this film although it was a bit of a mess plotwise. It didn't make a lot of sense until I realised the flow of the film was completely dependent on the child and what she was feeling emotionally. Then I just kinda went with it and enjoyed it from that angle. The girl who played the main character wad good.

I'll stand with ye Chaos, I thought twas an excellent film. Then again, arguments over taste are pointless, so I might bow out if it gets ugly. Cheers!

the heat - funnier than expected.

lovelace - pretty good, could've been longer, felt a bit rushed.

prince avalanche - too indie for its own good. quite shit.

pain & gain - some lols, was quite surprised to find out michael bay directed it. even dwayne the rock was actually funny.

the great gatsby - nah. who the fuck thought casting spider-man would be a good idea?

Elysium

Enjoyed but two major issues:

1. The ending was clearly signposted early on by two scenes.

put those two together and you can see the ending a mile off.

2. the music playing on earth in every scene. why is industrial dubstep circa 2010 playing all the time? even outdoors! that is going to age this film really badly. the only good bit was the burial.

the heat - weaksouce. weak lols and acting (compared to bridesmaids, for example), weak story and weak chemistry

the iceman 8/10

michael shannon is slowly becoming my favourite actor.

ginger & rosa - elle fanning is incredible in this, she is developing into a fine young actress if this film accurately showcases the level of her maturing talent and is not just a one off inspired performance. i enjoyed this film, not the most incredible film by any means, but it has its strong moments and deals with very delicate and thought provoking subject matter.

What?

Just watched the trailer of it and it looked pretty nice - what's meant to be wrong with it ? (I'm not that up to date on films)
