3.8 out of five for The Maid
Interesting slice-of-life about a middle-aged maid. Looks very simple but feels complex and engaging.
-
4.5 out of five for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
Story gets re-jiggled to fit the film, but it's amazing to look at and great, nerdy, fun. I <3 SP.
-
4.0 out of five for Mother
Korean films are never cheery. This one isn't either. It's got a good sense of humour though, even if it is dark.
-
4.3 out of five for The Illusionist
Sad little story. Brilliant animation. Plenty to love.
-
3.9 out of five for Down Terrace
Darkly funny British black-comedy. Very enjoyable.
-
3.5 out of five for Splice
Pretty decent. Great special effects and quite compelling. Not 100% sure I loved the ending.
-
3.9 out of five for Inception
Looks beautiful, great idea, super cast. Really liked it. A few rubbish conveniences, but otherwise an insta-classic.
-
2.0 out of five for Rec
3.5 A good second part to the first film. Doesn't mess about and gets on with the action, but the occult stuff gets a bit silly.
-
3.9 out of five for The Bad Lieutenant
Feels way too long, but love it's sense of humour and genuinely surreal moments.
-
2.8 out of five for The White Ribbon
Looks nice and it's technically fine, but it's just boring and rather dry.
-
3.0 out of five for Four Lions
Not as funny or clever as I was expecting. Disappointing. Watchable enough, though.
-
3.9 out of five for Dogtooth
Odd, often very funny, film about a dark situation. Mostly made up of unanswered questions, but very engaging.
-
2.2 out of five for Double Take
Pretty dull. Some interesting old clips & liked the commercials, but didn't really go anywhere.
-
2.9 out of five for This Is Love
Stunning acting thru-out, but as pretentious as they come & seems designed to make film critics pee themselves with delight.
-
3.9 out of five for Kick Ass
Genuinely funny & original. Acting good through-out and probably an insta-classic.
-
3.2 out of five for Perrier's Bounty
Needed a few more witty lines, but ace cast and decent story.
-
3.4 out of five for Shutter Island
Great music and style. Slightly cliched, but quite gripping.
-
3.8 out of five for Ponyo
Very cute, childish film. Can't fail to be cheered by it.
-
3.9 out of five for Alice In Wonderland
A bit scattered, but a fun and quirky revisiting of my favourite story.
-
2.9 out of five for The Crazies
Great concept but a bit all over the place. Didn't really meet up to the trailer-lead expectations.
