Inglorious Basterds


Inglorious Basterds was even better this second time. I love Tarantino films and this one is no exception.

Kiss Me Annabel


Kiss Me Annabel was not really to my taste. I didn't like either of the leads and couldn't understand the conflict (she is in love with him and he her but she thinks he is confusing lust with love) and all in all this ended up being boring.

Among The Living (AuxYeux Des Vivants)

Among The Living (Aux Yeux Des Vivants) is the type of horror film that mixes up early teen angst and horrible side effects of chemicals used at war. It was alright I suppose but nothing special. 

Before They Are Hanged

Before They Are Hanged is the second novel in The First Law trilogy. And it was just as good as the first. In fact better. 

The Good Girl

The Good Girl is one of those American films where the characters are having first world problems. Well as they say in my county the fire burns where it falls (meaning one can't really feel the pain of others unless they are familiar with the situation).

This one was saved from being dull by my love for Jake Gyllenhaal's physique and by my being distracted with the fact that Jennifer Anniston is Rachel in all her films no matter who else the character is. 

North Country


North Country caused many tears yet again in this second viewing. I love Charlise Theron and she is excellent in this. It also points towards harrassment of women at a work place. I guess I'm lucky where I work since I never had to deal with that kind of thing depicted in the film. Apart from that the story of the lead character is tragic but thank God there was a happy ending.

Lucy was a film that could have been more entertaining with a plot like that. The cast was great but I needed more action less philosophy (especially such unscientific information presented as scientific). Anyway, I watched it without falling asleep.
