just finished watching "The Revenant".
first impression, I'd say 7,5. I would describe it as a movie of great visual and emotional impact .Some scenes are very rough, I didn't expect that, but this contributes to the realism of the movie IMO..
Eagle eye (2008) 8.5/10
An enjoyable watch and well put together, an excellent plot if even it was a little too far fetched.
Now You See Me (2013) a noisy, over the top, occasionly clever magician heist type movie, also not helped by the magician characters being smug and arrogant especially the one played by Jesse Essenberg 4.5/10
The Numbers Station 7/10.
9 (2009)
Bit of a clichéd premise but still very enjoyable.Animated adventure set in an apocalyptic future.After humanity is decimated by the world's machines a group of stitchpunks created by a scientist begin a mission to salvage the legacy of civilization.
Voices provided by Elijah Wood,John C Reilly,Jennifer Connelly and Christopher Plummer.It also has a great score from Danny Elfman.
8/10
You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger (2010) an enjoyable Woody Allen comedy with a cracking ensemble cast,Josh Brolin, Naomi Watts, Anthony Hopkins,Gemma Jones,Pauline Collins, Freida Pinto, Antonio Banderas. Plus, anytime looking at the delectable Miss Watts is always worthwhile! 7/10
Troll Hunter(2010)
Tremendous fun this,even the old hand held,lost footage doesn't hold it back.With some surprisingly effective,CGI trolls and some black humour this is a lesson in how good low budget film making can be.
8/10
Leaving Las Vegas(1995) a strongly acted piece as a washed up screenwriter played by Nicholas Cage and a lonely prostitute, Elisabeth Shue form a friendship in Las Vegas. Inventively directed by Mike Figgis, Cage won an Oscar 7.5/10
Technically this is a documentary,but I just watched a thing I taped in late 1999 from channel 4 about Ray Harryhausen.
It documented his career from his debut to his final film.Some great contributions from Joe Dante,James Cameron,Stan Winston and Dennis Muren.Absolutely brilliant stuff.What a wonderful legacy he left on film for us to enjoy.
Rear Window(1954)
The master of suspense at the top of his game.I don't really need to write anymore.
10/10
