I Love You, Man

Yeah, yeah, yeah...you're a wanker if you haven't watched this.  It's great. It makes you feel all gooey inside.   Even If Jason Segal's haircut IS decidedly 1989'ish.

Love and Death On Long Island

Never heard of it, guv' !  All the better for it. No expectations.  John Hurt's the master, but Jason Priestley's a one pony-trick...even if he is satirising himself.  More films with London Buses in, please.

Disturbia

I thought Shia Lebeouf was meant to be crap. He's good in this in fact.  He gets the girl tho' of course. It would have been better if he'd not got the girl and then listened to Decemberists' records.  A good movie, but a crap film.

Persona

Bloody bonkers and no mistake !  Haha.  This Nurse Bird, right, looks after this actress bird who can't talk anymore.  They start off liking each other, then it all goes tits up.  But being an arty film where not a lot makes sense, er....not a lot makes sense.  Don't watch this after too many Golden Grahams. It will freak you out. Bloody amazing imagery though.

Panic Room

Only £1.50 in CEX !  Not bad at all really !  Jodie Foster is....er..Jodie Foster as usual and Kristen Stewart is a bit of a smart ass.  The baddies are not really that bad, but the New York Real Estate looks suitably moneyed.  A firm seven out of ten.

Wendy and Lucy

Naturalistic and simply heartbreaking.  I kept telling myself during this that it wasn't real, but it seemed SO real that even now, the ending makes me sad.  A very different, human type of cinema.

Insdious

Strange one this.  Sounded great on paper, but this modern horror flick only delivered on a few levels.  Some of the scary moments are clearly not.  Shame.  If it'd made me shoot out of my seat a bit more I might have given it more props.
