What film did you watch last night?

All the President's Men.
I finally got around to getting this on DVD; a brilliant film adapted from the book by Woodward and Bernstein, the two newspaper reporters whose investigation into the Watergate break-in brought down Richard Nixon.

A great insight into not only the Watergate affair but the workings of investigative reporting.
Excellent performances from Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman as the two reporters, and the film really builds the tension as the two leads start to get close to the truth.

9/10
 
Un Prophete.

Outstanding. I liked the use of Reyeb's ghost/hallucination in this. Normally I don't like that kind of stuff.
 
North by northwest.

I don't tend to watch old films, but this was good, I have seen many other Hitchcock films and really enjoyed them.
 
Vampire Hunter D

7/10

not convinced by the 'love story' and most of the enemies tended to end up cut up in the same way without having a chance to fight back. also a lot of black and white flashing light..not good if you are epileptic.
 
Goodfellas. First time I've seen it.

Brilliant film, but I was a bit "meh" about the ending. It just seemed quite sudden. Having said that, I was tired, and I don't actually remember now what happened.

but yes id agree the ending is not quite ideal.
 
Watched a few last night /this afternoon.

Miss March - Some slapstick style american film about a guy that gets knocked in to a coma on the night of his prom and the night he was due to have sex for the first time. He's in the coma for 4yrs and it's about him regaining consciousness and basically his GF from before is now a playboy bunny... easy watch and a couple of chuckles but no full lol's so I'd say 4/10

All about Steve - Sandra Bullock was the main reason I watched this but it was a bit of a weak film about her having a blind date with a guy and deciding she loved him and followed him like a stalker all over the country (he was a camera man) and yea, bit lame. 4/10

District 9 - I actually really enjoyed this, wasn't sure I would but yea I thought it was a really good film how they set it out like the racism between the humans and the "prawns" and his accent made me lol a lot. Well made and liked the story 7/10

From Paris with love - John Travolta as some random agent in Paris to solve a crime of sorts, you can forget about that lot as the action is really good and comedy in stages (maybe I have a warped sense of humor? :P ) and some of the lines that Travolta comes out with are classic. For it's balls out violence and some decent lines alone it gets 7/10 from me.

I have 44" chest with Ray Winstone and Sherlock Holmes to watch tonight if I get the time. We'll see!
