What film did you watch last night?

12 Angry Men.

Was very impressed at how pure and focussed it was - concentrating just on the issue of doubts in the story. Interesting as well that there was no concern about whether the kid did it, or someone else, or what - just about whether there were doubts about the case.

It is a very good film. This type of film would probably be too daring to do these days and be too much of a gamble! No gimmicks, no effects, christ not even a scene change through out the whole film! - The whole film is based in the jury room and purely focussed on the characters. The actors are very very good and often go on for many minutes straight to camera with no jump scenes.

I don't think it is perfect though.. I don't want to spoil the film for anyone that hasn't seen it but I was surprised by one of the characters change of mind and the way it comes about. The main character that sparks the doubt also seems a bit of an odd ball to me and during the film I questioned where he was coming from or if he had some kind of motive behind what he does through out the film.

8/10 from me
 
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Brilliant ! One of the best films i've seen in a long time.

Funny, entertaining, great interaction between the characters and just all round brilliant.

Would highly recommend

I watched this tonight and I thought it was OK.

The opening scene was very good and I was interested in the film straight after but what struck me was how on earth can someone that has difficultly using one of their arms, has memory loss, and frequently falls asleep be legally able to drive. I thought this part of the film was unbelievable it is a petty thing to comment on but I kept thinking about it all the way through the film!

Had hints of momento in there with the use of a note pad and the theme of working backwards.

The films story is pretty good and he main actor doesn't do a bad job of playing the part. However the film on a whole could have better, a few twists it could have done with.

5.5/10 from me.
