Film

I'm using the old four star rating system to rank movies I've recently watched and explaining in one sentence why I like, dislike or am just altogether 'meh' about the film.

****= highly recommend
***= worth a look
**=take it or leave it
*= highly don't recommend at all for goodness sake


Vantage Point * - The deluge of trailers put me off to this movie before I watched it and the movie put me even more off.

The Princess and the Warrior *** - Is able to create a lot of tension with some very interesting characters and has one of the most memorable scenes taken place under a truck.

My Blueberry Nights ** - I'm usually a fan of Wong Kar Wai's work but I didn't get attached to the characters in Blueberry as much as his other films possibly due to some pretty mediocre acting, sorry Norah.

Be Kind Rewind *** - Worth seeing just for the cinematography.

The Spiderwick Chronicles *** - Magic, goblins, fairies... I'm game.

Southland Tales* - Way too many ideas squeezed into one story led to one of the most confusing movies I've ever watched.

Awake ** - Unique use of voiceover but the whole story was a little too thin and blatant.

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead **** - Acting was great, directing was great, story was great.

The Dark Knight **** - Best movie I've seen all year.

Never Back Down ** - One and a half hours of montages!
