Last Movie You Watched? (Part 3)

Stranger than fiction - 7/10

Not too impressed by the script but the acting and production was very good. Maggie Gylenhall was lovely too.
 
The last film i watched was Notes on a scandal ,

i liked the fact that there was humour early on from Judi Dench and the cast were well suited to their roles but it really needed something else to end on.

as a book it probably would be a great ending as the author has a potential follow up with such an ending but used here it felt like the easiest way out.

ratings :

***/5 or ****** and a half / 10
 
In Bruges

Nice try, but it also felt like it was trying too hard to be a cult favourite or something - every line quotable etc.

Some amusement along the way, but not as much as some would have you believe. 6/10

Paradise Lost

Photogenic tourists in old, urban myth inspired horror. Takes ages to get going and even when it does it's not that good.

Rule of cinema: if the villian knocks off one his own men just to show the audience how nasty/psycho he is, the film will never amount to more than 5/10
 
The Other Guys

Went to the Cinema the other day, not having any film in mind, and just deciding what takes our fancy. Nothing did. After not even hearing of this film we decided to risk it.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, a few LOL moments with a mixture of stupidity and action. Great light entertainment movie.
 
Birthday Girl. 2001

Starring Ben Chaplin, Nicole Kidman and Vincent Cassel.

A bank manager 'orders' a Russian mail-order bride. Later her two frienRAB arrive and things turn odd and nasty.

Enjoyable.

6/10
