Horrible Bosses 4/10
A load of shit
The Guard.
Highly Recommended. Thumbs up.
Looking forward to seeing it on DVD. Directed by the brother of the guy who made In Bruges a couple of years ago, also starring Brendan Gleeson, and which was one of the quirkiest, funniest and darkest comedies of the last few years.Quote:

In Bruges is a feeble excuse for a film, throughout the first half if not all of it the dim character walks around saying Fuck! and Bruges! presumably because he was intellectually challenged. The climax of the plot -insofar as there is a plot- is also unoriginal -I don't know when the trick was first used but it marks the climactic ending to Pinter's play The Dumb Waiter (1960). Another film with Gary Oldman that was so bad I wanted my money back. But then, if you rate another piece of 60s trash -The Graduate- then I guess our differences are unlikely to be breached on these two turkeys.
Um, Gary Oldman does not appear in In Bruges.Quote:

Moon (2009) - one of the best sci-fi movies in the last 15 years. One character, Sam Rockwell, is ready to return home after spending 3 years on the Moon. The wheels begin to fall off the bus thereafter. Amazing acting & great suspense!!! Kevin Spacey is the computer voice, a 2001-Space Odyssey-HAL imitation. OUTSTANDING!!!!!
Solaris (2002) - self-revelation on a spaceship. Not convincing & drawn out. It's a shame because there are very good actors - George Clooney, Natascha McElhone. 3 hours of boredom.
The Hunted (2003) - complete shit. Similar cat & mouse a la Fugitive. Terrible
The Notebook (2004) - not as sappy as I presumed. decent love story and I'm a sucker for period pieces. Total chick flick but even if you eat nails for breakfast a dude could handle it. Don't understand why it was called The Notebook, I get it but the movie made one/two references
Pride & Glory (2008) - nuts & bolts NYC corrupt cop movie. This film opens nothing new (Colin Farrell, Ed Norton)
Spiral "Engrenages" Season 1 (2005) - French weekly police drama follows on case that includes politicos, pedophilia, prostitution. Each episode has a good pace and maintains high level of suspense
Submarine (2010) - coming-of-age story about a boy who wants to love his virginity & break up his mother's affair. The director makes bold decisions to make this genre stand apart
Traitor (2008) - Don Cheadle plays a bomb-making Muslim terrorist being pursued by FBI & CIA. Formulaic but watchable
