Les Miserable. I loved it. I believe the book is one of the best books ever written.

The only problem, which really wasn't a huge problem for me, was Anne Hathaway stole the show. Her role as Fantine and the delivery of "I dreamed a dream" was great. The problem was, having stole the show, Fantine dies and the high point of the movie has came and gone very early on.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the rest of the movie. Overall, a great movie very much worth seeing.

Really? Although the violence is extreme I would say it's a million miles away from Hostel (which truly is a piece of crap) in that you are much more immersed in the characters and the climax is a great piece of cinema. It had real emotional depth for me and was powerfully shot.

Certainly not one of the best Horror films I have seen but it is miles above the crap that Eli Roth serves up.

Based upon the alleged true story of Saddam Hussein's son's body double who was forced to play that role through manipulation, torture and terror and who eventually rebelled against the truly repellent nature of the original son.

Not knowing a lot of the back story is a hindrance but this was magnificently acted by Dominic Cooper who plays both the original son and the double, with both being completely different personas.

A small triumph for a relatively low budget film. Well worth a watch on many levels.

I was only comparing it to Hostel in the way the film handled torture and main points in the plot. The thieves ended up there looking for a place to stay and ended up getting more than they bargained for. I agree. It was way better than Hostel

Not a movie I'd watch (I'm so squeamish I don't like medical "true stories"!) but just wondered, what is the significance of the parenthesised "S" after the title? Seems like it means something. Or does it?

Steven Seagalls usual female love interest was replaced by Ja Rule for this film. Results are a mixed bag, at times the bromance is very compelling.

Dial M For Murder....in 3D!!

So supposedly, this is one of the first films ever that was filmed in "Natural Vision" 3D. However, buy the time of its release, there wasn't a big market for 3D films, so it was released almost exclusively in 2D. Last night the Alamo Drafthouse was showing it in 3D...and it was so freakin amazing. It wasn't the viewing experience you usually get now, with **** popping out toward the camera so it looks like it's coming off the screen. But the depth it added to this film was outstanding. You notice by the way set pieces are placed and how the actors are positioned in certain scenes, how Hitchcock really intended for this to be a 3D film. Plus, even in 2D, it's just a terrific film anyway! The truth is, I'm not a huge fan of 3D in general, but this was one of the best 3D movies I've had the pleasure of seeing.

I never saw it in 3D but that's a hell of movie either way! I love how streamlined it is.

Am I the only person who thinks Django Unchained was bad?

Beasts of the Southern Wild

What a debut film. This kind of reminds me of when Neil Blomkamp came out with District 9 and so many people including myself was just awe struck at what a first time filmmaker could do. Moon also comes to mind. These two films are obviously very different from Beasts but the future for Benh Zeitlin is wide open now because he created a magical little film. I use the word magical because it is what really drives the film for me. I watched it with my girlfriend who didn't like it as much. She seemed to change her mind or at least think about it more after I told her that if you watch the movie in the frame of mind that what you're watching is a magically mini universe the Zeitlin created and that it is a stand a lone place and time...the film becomes less sporadic and more fantastic. Two of the things that stood out to me most was of course the performance of the little girl. She was incredible and even if she doesn't have a lasting career in the future I can at least put this on and enjoy a wonderful performance from such a bright and adorable little girl. The second thing that stood out was the music. It added so much atmosphere and mood to already beautiful shot scenes. I was like a southern whimsical Godspeed You Black Emperor. The track "Storm" must have been a huge inspiration and even if it wasn't it fits beautifully for the subject of this film. I highly recommend checking out this film from a great up and coming filmmaker.
