What film did you watch last night?

¡El Guapo Tomato! Cheap Mexican B-grade comedy starring a very young and inexperienced Neville Gorman. Words cannot describe just how excruciatingly bad this movie is. Attempts to re-brand it as an arthouse film during the Nuevo Cine Mexicano era were spectacularly unsuccessful.

In his autobiography (Perpetual Extra: My Life as Hollywood's Invisible Man) Gorman claims to have signed the contract in a Tiguana bar, under the mistaken impression that he was purchasing a 1968 Cadillac Eldorado ("I was pretty drunk at the time and I didn't speak Spanish.")

Clash of the Titans.

What a pile of ****. The 3D was so poor I had a headache very quickly, the acting was dire, Sam Worthington was acting like Medusa had turned him to stone before the filming started, the action was average and there seemed to be a lot of film missing. Huge leaps from one part of the journey to the next made it seem that a longer film had been hacked to bits.

What a pile of ****.

The Girl Next Door - 2007 (Not the one with Elisha Cuthbert in, but Jack Ketchum's film about teen/family abuse).

Very very shocking movie, and very upsetting at the same time, it delivers a powerful message to the viewer about brutal and sexual abuse. Although I thought the film was quite hard hitting, it was made really well, it certainly gets the message across and quite disturbing to watch.

I would give this film a 8/10

Are you aware that this movie was inspired by historical events? I recommend An American Crime, which tells the real story of Sylvia Likens, upon whom The Girl Next Door was based.
 
I watched 'I Love You Man' the other night and I have to admit I really enjoyed it. Some of the things said made me kind of cringe but in a way that I should have giving the context of the film. I laughed all through, good watch.

Visually striking but the story meanders around in the middle. Quite an astonishing independent achievement.

Mesrine: Part 1

Quite simply one of the best films of last year (well, released in the UK last year). This is a genuine masterclass in filmmaking and Vincent Cassel paints Jacques Mesrine as a complicated, multi-layered individual.
