Valkyrie - PG-13
|

Better than one might hope, considering it's ostensibly a Tom Cruise film, and despite the fact nobody really speaks much German in it, the complexity of the story and suspense leading up to the plot and attempted coup, carries the film along well. It isn't boring for a moment. The DVD extra "Legacy" is also well worth a watch.

You don't need to be a football fan, a ManU fan or even a Cantona fan to like this film, but if you are, you'll love it. It's mainly about coping with daily life, daily problems on a Manchester council estate. The 'ghost' of Cantona adds something novel - this is almost like a French film in many ways - and the ending is wonderful. Recommended.

I've seen the first 10 minutes of this about 3 times, always intending to watch more but never managing to. Maybe it gets better later on?

Green Goblin rather ruins it, otherwise it's pretty good.

Daredevil - PG-13

I've seen the first 20 minutes of this a few times. I really wanted to like it as Daredevil is a good comic, but Ben Affleck is just so vapid, it can never work. A shame.

A near-perfect superhero movie, and quite different from the rest in many ways. The plot was rather strange and unusually complex for such a genre. The CGI is used more sparingly, and looks pretty flawless throughout. There is more music, and thankfully, less 'blipvert' editing. It is however, very long, possibly too long for most viewers, although having said that, it is never boring. I've never read the original comic book, so can't compare, but the film is one of the best - better even than Dark Knight. Recommended.

Good throughout and hilarious at times. One of the best spin-off movies from a British series.

L'albero degli Zoccoli (The Tree of Wooden Clogs) - Unrated
|
|
One of the most boring, long-winded, miserable films I've ever sat through. This is like a 'warts and all' documentary of peasant life around Bergamo in the early 1900s. The pig killing scene early on, totally spoiled it for me, but without that, it was still hardly the most riveting of films. Avoid.

Very run-of-the-mill DVD extra with short interviews with all the luvvies with the notable exception of Bowie, no real making-of footage or anything really very new. It's ok, but hardly earth-shattering.
