  WALL-E

  by Dan

  Wow... A true landmark in animation. The first 30 mins are glorious, with an eerie looking Earth brought to life by the animated WALL.E and his little Cockroach friend. It's all very sweet when EVE arrives. The only downfall is the trip into space, although there are still some very funny and sweet moments. The humans kinda ruin it! I guess it needed something else to keep the kids amused. I personally could have watched WALL.E's Earth moments throughout the whole movie, I was just blown away by the realism of the city. The obligatory Pixar pre animation called 'Presto' was hilarious and very clever! Overall WALL.E was a wonderful experience.

  A true joy, even though it slips a little in the 2nd act..

  Eastern Promises

  by Dan

  I thought that after A History Of Violence, Cronenberg would struggle to better or even match what he accomplished. A History.. was superb, but so was Eastern Promises! The style was incredible, and I loved the very British feel. The Cronenberg / Mortensen teaming is a great one!
  Set in London, Naomi Watts (an excellent performance and great British accent) is caught in the middle of a shocking revelation involving a dead girl's newborn baby and organised crime at the hands of a notorious Russian family. Viggo Mortensen (another amazing performance) is the family's 'driver' who is expected to take more onboard than the average driver would. The movie is full of thrilling and disturbing revelations, and I was gripped throughout! It has a fair bit of graphic violence as you'd expect from Cronenberg, but it's done in such a way that you will experience minimal squeem... Unless of course you really can't deal with violence! A big admiration has to go to Mortensen for the sauna fight scene. It was a very brave thing to do, you will see what I mean when you watch it. An ultimately brilliant movie that very almost matches A History.., which in my eyes is Cronenberg's masterpiece!

  Amazing follow up to A History Of Violence, and another great Cronenberg / Mortensen teaming!

  The Mist

  by Dan

  At last, I finally got to see The Mist. I thought we'd never get it here in the UK.
  
  Stephen King adaptations are usually a bit hit or miss, and as a loyal fan of his work I can say that there are a lot of misses when it comes to the movies.
  I read The Mist a while ago and couldn't put it down. It helps that it's only around 150ish pages long so it can be read in one sitting if you wish, and I thought then that i'd like to see it made into a movie.
  
  The thing that I couldn't get over was how deep this movie was for a creature feature. It's not the usual 'small town is attacked by giant insects' movie that we've come to expect. They're usually quite entertaining and fun, but that's it! This movie however stays with you for a while afterwards. What also makes it different is the fact that in this movie, it's not only the giant insects, spiders, and monsterous birds that are a threat... It also shows how monsterous humans can be. My mate and I both agreed that if you took the fictional giant insect scenario away and replaced it with a very real situation in an enclosed environment, it would only be a matter of time before people started turning on each other out of fear, desperation, or even insanity. That is more terrifying than fictional beasts! There are some poor excuses for human beings in this movie, one in particular that thanks to too many bible readings has gone a bit loopy. The hysteria she causes is intense, and you will loathe her! Marcia Gay Harden played the character to a T! Thomas Jane was also brilliant as the all round good guy, who manages to gather a small rational posse in the crowded supermarket.
  
  Considering it was made for a relative small amount (as opposed to the average Hollywood movie) it looked fantastic! Some of the creature effects were a bit bad but it doesn't distract from what's being depicted. It also manages to stay gripping, even though 90% of the movie is set in the supermarket. You will root for characters, you will loathe characters, you may scream, maybe even cry? The only things that were left out of the book were minor details, although the ending was changed to give the audience a bit more closure. The book kind of leaves it to you to imagine what happens next. All i'll say about the new ending is that it's not a mainstream one, you may be surprised?

  Not the average creature feature. It's actually quite deep and lingers in your mind for a while after...

  Caramel

  by Dan

  Caramel reminded me of Almodóvar in the sense that it is a movie devoted to women and contained similar themes and humour to some of his movies.
  It centres around five Lebanese women; Three who work in a beauty salon where most of the movie takes place, one a regular client and one a tailor who works across the street. They are all good friends and each has a problem in their life...
  The title 'Caramel' is taken from a form of waxing that is used in the salon, which looks quite painful!
  This is a wonderfully touching movie with bursts of hilarity and sadness.

  Gone Baby Gone

  by Dan

  I wasn't going to rate this movie as high, but thinking about it more indepth, it was a great movie. The only thing that bothered me about it was there were a couple of scenes that seemed a bit amateur, almost as if Affleck had to shout "Erm... It's your cue." Some of the supporting roles were a bit wooden. Style wise, it looked incredible. Most of the acting was brilliant, especially Casey Affleck. The twists and turns were good but I felt they kind of became too much towards the end. I wasn't hugely keen on the flashbacks either, I feel they're not always neccessary and can insult the audience. I guess this is more personal to me though, and not a general theory. There were some very interesting moments, some very thrilling moments and some very disturbing moments. One thing that I couldn't get over was the little kidnapped girls resemblance to Maddie McCann, a British couple's child who has been missing for over a year now. I'm not sure what I was expecting from Affleck but it certainly wasn't something as thought provoking and controversial as this. I look forward to his next project, and also to lil bro Casey's future performances.
