Advantages: Fantastic storyline, cast
Disadvantages: none

...a bad thing to say about it. I think I love it so much because I can really relate to the main characters, Marcus, Will and Fiona (like Will I believe we live in an island age!). Based on the book by Nick Hornby (which sadly I haven't read) it is the story of an unlikely friendship between Will and Marcus, and how once you open your door to one person, others are sure to find their way in too. This film showed Hugh Grant move away from his bread ...
...who spends his days knocking about his gadget filled flat, playing pool, getting his hair done, and bedding young swedish tourists. What a departure for him, and unbelievably, he plays it to perfection. After years of notching up broken hearts, Will starts to get tired of being the bad guy. When his well intentioned friends set him with a single mum, he is suprised at how well the relationship goes, and even more suprised when single mum finishes ... Read review

Advantages: Deep plot with twists, complicated characters
Disadvantages: Main character not likeable

...story takes place in 1954, all over Lousianna. It happens to run the course of Sean Penn's Political career from lowly origins up to the day the Louisanna Legislature attempts to Impeach him from the Governership. Some might say this story is told about his charachter since it was an extroadinary story, being voted in by the lower class and despised by everyone with power and money there. However, the story revolves around Jude Law's character, a ...
...named, this film shuffles around all these pawns on Penn's chessboard, and you never really know if you love Penn's charachter or hate him... There's something not quite right about him, and it's facinating. The one thing I am sure of after the movie is over is that I don't like Jude's character, who we root for more than once in the movie, and is clearly the viewpoint of the story... So all in all, I have to say I feel a bit let down. It's almost ... Read review

Advantages: Great performances backed up by a witty script and fabulous production design
Disadvantages: Has been largely ignored at the cinema

...bitches in your house…”), that being said, the more realistic speech is well realised. Though the film focuses on the central performance, there is sufficient character development for the other protagonists to seem consistent, if not entirely realistic. Szabó has assembled a solid cast that consists of well-respected thespians and new faces, who acquit themselves well in the face of more experienced actors. The cinematography by Lajos Koltai revels ...
...beautiful people, whilst skimming over the squalor that underpins it all. The characters all put on a public face whilst keeping their private lives to themselves and more than one of them has a secret they are keeping from others. This is illustrated by the games Julia plays; when fully made-up she is playing a role, whether it be actress, mother, wife or lover, but as soon as the mask of make-up is removed, she is nothing more than a vulnerable ...

Advantages: Has some good moments...
Disadvantages: Ill mental health after the confusing storyline

...the schizophrenic, cynical and rebellious Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhall), and his new school friend, Gretchin. Oh, we mustn't forget Donnie's imaginary friend called Frank who - wait for it - is a man-sized bunny rabbit! Enjoyable it is not, but I do not hate this film as such, I am just frustrated as, after hours of contemplation, I am no more clued up than I was before the film started. Disappointing as the film is, Director Kelly can learn from ... Read review

Advantages: Agatha Christie-like
Disadvantages: Too many characters

Introduction As soon as I heard about this film, I knew it would be right up my street. Described as a murder mystery, it is set in a stately home in 1930s England. With a large number of famous actors and actresses, including Maggie Smith, Kristin Scott-Thomas, Helen Mirren, Charles Dance, Stephen Fry and Clive Owen, it couldn't really go much wrong. And I wasn't disappointed, well, not too disappointed anyway - it takes a while before any action ...
...it's a must-see for anyone that enjoys crime fiction by writers such as Agatha Christie. The director Robert Altman, who came up with the idea for the story, along with Bob Balaban, was born in Kansas in 1925. He has written, directed and produced a number of films, although the majority of them are not particularly well-known. He is probably best-known for directing Alfred Hitchcock's TV show and writing the script for MASH. The plot Sir William ... Read review
