I really liked Juno.

I am muchly looking forward to both.
I really liked Juno.
Be Kind Rewind - lost its way a little bit in the end but overall a chuckle fest and original - with some great visual gags, a non hollywood ending, plus perfect running time... overall 8.5
Colin Colin Colin. Dancer in the Dark is a fantastic film... it's an emotional film - how can it not be?? One of my favourite films of all timeDancer In The Dark - I really love Lars von Trier, but the emotional manipulation is just too blatant in this. Great songs though and Bjork (whom I normally can't stand) is fantastic, as is, of course, the ever-edible Catherine Deneuve. (Tits, face, face, tits, arse, and finally fanny in that order, btw)
As you obviously hold Kermode up there as a respected opinion, enlighten us on what he thought about Transformers?
It just depends what you want from film doesn't it. If you want to be wowed by battling cars and their exploding, heartless chassiseseses, then go for it. If you want to have yourself questioned or forced to consider why something had an effect on you, then there are more well-constructed and testing fields to visit. It's been a great start to the year cinematically, with storylines and characters built and painted without the topless absurdity and mind-numbing grenades of summer blockbusters, but it's awards season so it won't last. Interesting stuff though.
Have got The Lives of Others - will be watching it sometime soon
It isn't original, its been done by Nickelodeon before
YouTube - Be Kind Rewind: URGENT
I do want to see it though
I cannot believe the lives of others is as good as Downfall. Downfall and The Machinist are the best 2 films of the last 5 years imo.
Downfall is a work of genius and the best acting performance by Bruno Ganz quite possibly of all time.
