Chicken Little - G
|
|
The humour works surprisingly well in Finnish. Overall, the film is too manic with very clinical animation. The storyline is a bit dull, but the characters manage to be quite cute and likeable even when many of the gags and jokes fall flat.

Avatar - PG-13

Visually cool and quite imaginative. Storywise - meh - very conventional, and it gets boring towards the end. The characters are not particularly interesting and the dialogue is often quite awkward.

Gotta love the laughable plot and the holes in it. The action is pretty decent and Mark Wahlberg isn't as annoying as usual.

Luftslottet som sprängdes (The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest) - Unrated

The final film of the trilogy ties all the pieces together quite effectively. It's not particularly memorable, but Noomi Rapace is still very impressive.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus - PG-13

A very imaginative, impressive and old-fashioned fairytale with strong performances from Heath Ledger, Christopher Plummer, Lily Cole and Tom Waits. Unfortunately, the narration is a bit incoherent and chaotic.

Au Hasard Balthazar - Unrated

The praised, allegorical film that sees the world through the eyes of a donkey. This is a prime example of a French art film that goes well over my head. :D I can understand why Bresson is a very influential director, but his style is not my cup of tea.

The Road - R
|
|
A dark, visually stunning yet emotionally quite unengaging story set in a bare, post-apocalyptic America. The film is just too damn miserable. It's so dreary that it becomes annoying. The film tries to offer philosophical observations and insights, but they're annoyingly obvious.

A cute but quite uninspired animation with a nice message about friendship, tolerance and other nice things. The jokes are pretty bad, though.
