Movies Watched: 2009 September

92% critics' approval?! This is just another supernatural/horror flick with an essentially non-existent plot. I knew it was wrong to expect more.

Awesome jewcakes.

They tried to juggle too many balls, and they all ended up on the floor. Anything good this film had going for it didn't get a chance to live. Also, the protagonist is an asshat.

CUTEST FILM

The film starts of strong, but fails to deliver a satisfactory ending. Awesome, but unbalanced.

I thought this film was brilliantly shot, and the real story was rewound beautifully into a compelling story of individual strength, trust and power. Emily Blunt was perfectly cast.

Loved the Elie/Mr Ferguson storyline, but the talking dogs ruined this film. Not single-handedly, however, with some cumulative minor details added, in attempts to appeal to children en mass.

Brilliant, despite being a somewhat amateurish film. The cast is surprising for a small film shot in Melbourne (omg, trams!). The ending was a creepy surprise

Surprisingly really well done. The writer didn't make the common mistake in supernatural films of trying to tackle more than the run time could allow. The only negative criticisms I have are the gratuitous flashbacks (but apparently most people still couldn't keep up, so whatever) and the cutesy supe names like "shadows" and "pushers".
