Just finished watching Drive, heard it was brilliant but...
Utter shit...seriously, what the fuck? Annoying lead character who spent half the film looking borderline retarded, that stupid 80s song every time nothing in the film was happening, which was quite a lot and the whole thing seemed just seemed confused. I kept waiting for a twist or some sort of interesting thing to happen but nothing did. Hated it so much. |

You dont have to like him - I get why others dont, but he doesnt get on my nerves not even his laugh. The smugness is definitely an act, there was an interesting HBO special where he, Louis CK, Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld were talking about standup - he said there that the smugness in his routine was meant to be ironic. |

The Iron Lady 6/10
Very well acted by Meryl Streep but quite a depressing film , but whether that was because it showed Lady T in such decline, or whether it was because it reminded me so much of my own father, who has Alzheimer's, I'm not sure. |

My Cousin Vinny - Probably Sky's longest running feature since it's always been on it on a regular weekly basis, but I watch all the time, it's a classic, I love it. Joe Pesci is hysterical and deserved a Oscar as well to be honest. One of those classic comedies that just holds up on rewatch and rewatch and rewatch. 8/10
Watched some other stuff too, American Gangster(6/10) extended version, good and all but when you've seen The Wire/Sopranos, films like this now feel unbelievably under developed, Crowe/Denzel are terrific though, and Scott does a good job but the extended stuff isn't needed at all. Amelie(9/10) which is a wonderful film. Carlito's Way(5/10) for the first time, and well it wasn't really worth waiting all that time for, ok I guess but nothing special. Football Factory(3/10) partially for a laugh for the wrong reasons and because it was there. Fearless(7/10) which is good, but one of Weirs(who i'm a big fan of) weakest, Bridges was robbed of any real recognition though, brilliant as usual. Oh and the Iron Lady(3/10), which I agree, was basically all Streep being Streep, which is of course great, but the film was mostly awful, it had no idea how it really wanted to portray Thacther or what it wanted to do in general, just a mess really. |

Just came back from seeing War Horse at the cinema, and fuck me, I am a bit of a sap for crying during films at the best of times (even the ones that arent meant to be sad) but this was on another level to anything ive seen recently - fortunately I was watching it with my gf who is even worse than me, so between all her sniffing I managed to go relatively unnoticed.
As for the film, its pretty good, a little predictable at times (not that that sort of film is really there for the massive plot twists, mind) and as someone who studied the first world war for a year at school, the historical/technological inacurracies were a little annoying at times (but thats likely just me being a cock), otherwise generally good and very watchable. |

The Descendents I enjoyed the movie. Payne did a good job, but his last movie Sideways (2004) is more interesting storywise. Don't really understand why the movie got nominated for "Best Picture" though. The story of The Descendents isn't anything special. Also don't understand why Clooney got nominated for "Best Actor". He always 'plays himself' in the movies. I was more impressed with the acting of the girl who plays the eldest daughter. 8/10
The Muppets Annoying songs, not enough screentime for Amy Adams and lacklustre storywriting. The story is very linear. I like Amy Adams' Princess Giselle reference in the Muppets movie though, that was fun. Overall, the movie doesn't deserve a IMDB score of 8/10, more like 7/10. The Artist Good movie, but I dislike the ending. 8/10 Warrior Basically Rocky (or Real Steel, only with human fighters). Another good movie. Better than the Fighter. the ending was awful though: the relationship between the two characters doesn't make any sense at all. Tom Hardy has disturbingly big lips. 8.5/10 Cold Fish Awesome Japanese movie. Genres: black comedy, triller, drama etc. Recommended. 9/10 Shame Really don't understand all the praise. Contains too much (unnecessary) nudity. Disliked the ending. Another movie ending that asks for an own interpretation. I think that's lazy directing and a cheap way to let the movie end. Fassbender was ok in this one, but not good enough for an Oscar nomination, so I'm happy he got snubbed. 7.9 on IMDB? You're havin a laugh. 6/10 |

Just saw Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I must say Rooney Mara played one hell of a character, and she deserved that Oscar nod. Stellar performances, of course, but I imagined it to be more fast paced when I read the book, maybe it's the details that caught my attention more in reading it. It just wasn't all too exciting in watching it all.

Maras reward is the nomination tbh. Three of the other four have stellar careers, and Streep is Streep but already has two but the campaign to get her deserved third is bigger and bigger each year.

Star Trek
Just watched the new one and I loved it. I like the way you saw how the new friendships were made and how the crew came together, Scotty was a very funny. Star Trek is not everybody cup of tea , I have always liked it , can wait for the second film due out July this year. 7/10 |

Really really enjoyed the Rum Diaries with Johnny Depp based on the works of Hunter S Thompson. He is brilliant in it and I had a few lau out loud moments in it...hate the "to be continued ending"
8.5/10 |

The weird synth music put me off, mate. 
That and the fact that Youtube didn't allow those bits to be shown.
