Last film you watched

Just watched Gaspar Noe's IRREVERSIBLE (2002). I've owned it for a year or so but only now decided to watch it (not for squeamish reasons, just didn't want to rush it). Despite already knowing the impact it's had on many people and the revulsion with which they regard the film, it does leave an imprint on you. Visually, it's very stylised. Though it does seem to drive the film for the most part.

Personally, I didn't think the brutality of the film was justified ... but only because it doesn't need to be. In a world where horrific things happen on a daily basis, this film offers a disturbing and distasteful mirror to our own and asks you to observe it. Does it have to? No. Does it have the right to? Yes.

As for the reverse scene-by-scene order of the film, it works really well. In the correct order, Irreversible is merely a brutal snapshot of violence and excess. But in reverse, it makes you consider the merits of vigilantism and revenge. Also, unlike US/UK movies that mostly only offer a trite and saccharin happy ending, this one is much needed (even though it's at the start of the story).

Good film, well handled. Not for everyone. 7/10.

Date Night 9/10. A sit back and laugh, nothing to think about film, good stuff

Source Code - 3/5

I Am Number 4 - 7/10 Not bad.

I zoned out of the dialogue at times, and up until the last 40 mins or so, wasn't very impressed.
Some of the special effects didn't seem to be quite finished, and the plot steals from quite a few other TV shows and films...


I kinda get the impression that "they" are after making a series of some kind, to follow the film. Seeing as one of the bad guys appeared to be from the Dark Angel series, I think that would be a bad idea.

watched this awful film with my cousins,i don't think they were even impressed,very stupid and very unfunny,but it had Emma Roberts in it,2 films i have seen her in this weekend,she is a little hottie,much more nicer looking than her Aunt Julia,but this film,bollocks
1/5

RRRR! - Spectacularly silly French film set in palaeolithic times. Like Year One, only this one raises the odd laugh in places, instead of a burning desire to kill Jack Black, Harold Ramis and Michael Cera.

i watched PTU (Police Tactical Unit),a Hong Kong crime thriller,all set on one night in Hong Kong,it is a police lieutenant that loses his prized gun after a fight with a gang of thugs,so the PTU come onto the streets to help him find it so as not to dampen his promotion hopes,you might be thinking : "The whole film is about looking for a missing gun?",but it is a great character story too,and well made,you get to see the dark side of the beautiful city of Hong Kong,the sleazy bars,video arcades and diners at night,and a great finale too,written and directed by Johnnie To,he never disappoints,i recommend this,this is so much better than flashy american action cop films,this is gritty low budget intelligent film making
5/5
