  • Damn that french film Amour!

    It leaves no chance to A Royal Affair.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Léon - most well-made and original film I've seen in a while. The acting was seperb too. We don't even have to talk about Natalie Portman. That peformance speaks for itself.
    And Gary Oldmans performance was so great as this fucked up DEA agent that I couldn't even recognize him at first lol.

    This is movie-making at its finest.

              The idea was original and fun to watch. Jim Carrey was the one and only for this role and Ed Harris was given a fun supporting role lol.

              It had some fun gags, but also a lot of heart, not only drama-wise, but also for the film- and tv media. I was a bit disappointed by the ending though, dunno why. It kinda killed the suspense and build-up imo.

              I was defiantly very entertained though.

                • Saw Identity Thief over the weekend. I would say it's worth watching if you have to kill an hour and a half, but it's the same predictable road trip comedy that you've seen before (i.e. Due Date). If you can allow yourself to overlook the preposterous plot line, you'll get a few laughs out of it, especially from Melissa McCarthy.

                  • Wall•E - well done Pixar, you managed to cover up a very serious theme in a kids movie. Although the kids probably won't enjoy it as much. I don't care, I loved it. Great visual filmmaking and a classic subject re-newed. 8-9/10.

                    • [MENTION=29841]ABjerg[/MENTION] -- Vertigo review, if interested. Hopefully I haven't revealed too much.


                      One of the landmarks—not merely of the movies, but of 20th-century art. Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 film extends the theme of “Rear Window“—the relationship of creator and creation—into the realm of love and sexuality, focusing on an isolated, inspired romantic (James Stewart) who pursues the spirit of a woman (the powerfully carnal Kim Novak). The film’s dynamics of chase, capture, and escape parallel the artist’s struggle with his work; the enraptured gaze of the Stewart character before the phantom he has created parallels the spectator’s position in front of the movie screen. The famous motif of the fall is presented in horizontal rather than vertical space, so that it becomes not a satanic fall from grace, but a modernist fall into the image, into the artwork—a total absorption of the creator by his creation, which in the end is shown as synonymous with death. But a thematic analysis can only scratch the surface of this extraordinarily dense and commanding film, perhaps the most intensely personal movie to emerge from the Hollywood cinema.

                          Great review. Doesn't reveal too much imo, but it defiantly makes you wanna watch it!
