Let Me In
Claudia: "It was just as chilling, as eery, as beautiful [as Let The Right One In]. I even loved the relationship between the characters more. I'm very happy that both films exist."
Danny: "It's everything you say it is..it's a carbon copy of the original a lot of the time, no one needs to be outraged by it, but if you've seen Let The Right One In and loved it, I'd question why you need to see this one as well." -
Due Date
Claudia: "I thought this film was hilarious. I was slightly nervous because there were 2 blokes travelling across America and one had just suffered a terrible loss and I thought is this Planes, Trains and Automobiles? That film was so special to me. But it's funny! Robert Downey Jr. plays a vile character, at one point he hits a child but it's one of the funniest things in the movie. I also found certain scenes incredibly moving."
Danny: "It's an unironic, whole-hearted, bear hug of a buddy movie. No cliche is left unexhumed. But Todd Phillips is very good at certain things, Robert Downey committing acts of violence against small animals and children. He's not good at family and friendship, he should have left that stuff alone. He's good at one thing and I wanted more of that one thing becuase that one thing had me laughing out loud too." -
Jackass 3D
Claudia: "It was repulsive. It's not funny, the whole thing is repugnant. I'd prefer to DO a stunt than watch that again. I had to come home and shower."
Danny: "There's a long tradition of screen comedy being built around ridiculous men doing absurd, painful, violent things and it being hilarious. Jackass 3D is no Jackass 2 which I think was the pinnacle for their comedy but there's still a lot of funny stuff here." -
Another Year
Danny: "Mike Leigh's talked about this film being his most personal movie. It's a film with real heft and gravity and rather than ending up with just another Mike Leigh film, it feels like this is perhaps THE Mike Leigh film and after 40 years, everything's been building up to this point."
Claudia: "I found it haunting and incredibly beautiful. Unlike lots of other films it stays with you. It's raw and incredibly memorable." -
DANNY ON....THE DARK KNIGHT RISES
syclatt - any info on The Dark Knight Rising would be nice :)
Wouldn’t it just? I only wish I could oblige with some nugget plucked from having bugged Christopher Nolan’s office, or failing that planted miniature spy fleas in his bed linen in the hope that he mumbles plot details in his sleep, because either way I’d be leaking that good stuff all over the net and be thoroughly quids in. But for the moment, sadly, I can only re-affirm what’s already circling out there in the world, which is the presence of East Sheen’s ascendant Tom Hardy and the non-presence (as confirmed by Nolan) of The Riddler as the villain of the piece. The first part of which is, I feel, good news (Hardy’s an actor of genuine heft, as anyone who saw the impressively deranged Bronson will know)... while the second left me disappointed, as Nolan might well have have erased from all our memories Jim Carrey’s ghastly turn in the green suit in 1995’s Batman Forever. If a hunch will suffice, I’m saying the bad guy this time around will be Black Mask... but until the fleas get back to me, I’m afraid a hunch is all it can be...
