Today's Movie

[Rob Furness]

Good review Noel

I watched inception last night, don't know what everybody has been banging on about. I was expecting to be thoroughly confused but followed it pretty easily. It's more complicated to try and explain it to somebody than watch it, I did enjoy it though. Very good film

I really like that film, good that they used musicians and not actors too.

Well...I was supposed to see the Kings Speech tonight but it was sold out so I saw 127 Hours instead! I don't think the scene is overhyped, it is really gruesome and stomach churning but also incredibly well done and believable. I think you are right, the fact that it is based on a true story is probably why everyone is making such a fuss. I had to close my eyes and one of my friends was close to passing out (and he is a man in case you are assuming we are a bunch of 'girls') but I don't think it was gratuitous and I think the film is excellent. I probably won't be rushing to see it again but I am glad that I stomached it and would recommend it.

The Arm Hacking scenen in 127 hours has been really overhyped. It is nothing worse than you would get in any 18 rated action / horror film. I think people are a bit disturbed by it because the guy had to actually do it. The scene is only a couple of minutes but it actually took him over an hour to do the deed so to speak.

Agree that Audrey Tatou is very likeable

I watched 127hours yesterday flying home. Excellent. Also saw the new Wall Street film, which was good and the Social Network, which was okay, but made me feel old

'Tomorrow when the war began' I have watched again tonight. Absolutely brilliant film, ends on a great cliffhanger. So much so I went and found all 7 books and read them in a week because I couldn't wait for the next film in 2012. (Books are better than the film by the way, as always.)
The film isn't out in the UK until 15th of April. Was out in Australia last August and a copy became available on the internet.
Definitely would recommend watching it to anyone, well anyone who likes Action/Adventure films.

Great film just finished on BBC4: OSS117: Cairo, Nest of Spies. French spoof of James Bond etc. Very funny.

Also source of new crush, Berenice Bejo.

Strangely for a film, available on iPlayer. I recommend it.

Bought this on DVD from HMV at the weekend. Was £18 just after Xmas. Picked it up for £8. Job's a good 'un!

I watched Sherrybaby the other night. Great performance by Maggie Gyllenhaal. A difficult film to watch, however well made it was, with a not very attractive subject of drug addiction and another one I wont mention as that is the turning point of the film from the viewers perspective.
