Match Point - 8/10 Very watchable. I thought Jonathan Rhys-Meyers played it very well. Scarlett Johannsson hasn't looked better. One of the main reasons I liked it is probably the sheer audacity of the ending.
Frailty - 8/10 Very good thriller. Creepy in all the right places. Nothing too demanding or unexpected, but well executed.
Mission Impossible III - 7/10 It was entertaining enough but seemed a little rushed, maybe unfinished even? PSH plays it well, but has no real involvement. A little too peripheral, but when he is on screen he's electric. Tom Cruise carries the film pretty well.
United 93 - 8/10 I don't see how they could have done a film like this any better. The scenes on the plane are unbelievably tense. I haven't been as involved in a film for quite a while, I was literally on the edge of my seat. I guess the subject matter gives it an emotional headstart, but it also gives the filmmakers a hell of a job to handle it right. It could've been so much worse.
Firewall - 5/10 I kept waiting because I was sure it was going to go down a different road to the other films of a similar nature. But it didn't. That's not a spoiler, more of a warning. Not bad, just ehhh. Cue my Jewish-mother-style, hands-in-the-air shrug. Oy!
A Fighter in the Wind(Asian). A film about a Korean fighter who moves to Japan and suffers problems at every turn. Not really a martial arts film per se, more of a biopic of this guys life. He had a really shitty run of it but sort of came good at the end, but not really.
A Tale of Two sisters(Asian). Very good but confusing.
Da Vinci's Code, i loved it, a great story which made you think, it is only a story interlinked with many facts. The critics didnt like it, but i thought it was good.
'The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It's nothing of the kind. The game is about glory. It's about doing things in style, with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom.' - Danny Blanchflower
lotsa good lookin Scottish men.
