It's not exactly a bundle of laughs, but a bloody good film nonetheless.

Watched Silver Linings Playbook last night. Liked it a lot and Jennifer Lawrence is very easy on the eye- 8.5/10

I quite liked it as well, pretty quirky movie, DeNiro playing to type a bit now though.

Yeah saw it a while back, our kids loved it....nearly as much as me.
I put another one on for them recently without knowing too much about it. Ronal the Barbarian. Although its a cartoon, its definately not for the kids! Had to switch if off after 10mins with the cursing and killing! Cant wait to watch it myself though.

I saw the new Red Dawn film last weekend. A bit indifferent...not awful but not deadly. A bit forgettable. Certainly not worth going to the cinema to watch.

Watched The hand that rocks the cradle on Tg4 last night.
Rebecca De Mornay is some bit of gear.

Said the exact same thing last night, classic 90's ride of a head on her.

She was in better form in the film Risky business

I watched  Searching for Sugar Man,  one of this year's oscar nominated documentaries, about a down and out  talented songwriter/musician called Rodriguez from Detroit in 1970, who made a few records then disappeared. Unknown to himself, he became thee most popular musician in pre and post apartheid SA. He became the bard for social and political change, for those 'whites' who wanted to end Apartheid.  It's hard to credit that this story is what it is. The bare facts by themselves have the makings of an incredible story. But what lifts this story to something more, is the understated dignity and love of a father and his children.
It's directed by a young Swede.

Searching for Sugar Man  is now the 2013 Oscar winning documentary film.


Also nominated for Best Documentary Film were:

Five Broken Cameras
The Gatekeepers
How to Survive a Plague
The Invisible War

It's a safe bet that these documentary films, which finally got through the lengthy culling process, are worth a watch.
Not only that but there's a long list of excellent documentaries which made the shortlist of 15. This year was the first year that a documentary put forward. already had to have a theatrical release in order to be considered.

15 films made the shortlist for Best Documentary at the 85th Academy Awards, narrowed down from 126 qualifying documentaries

Watched Searching for Sugar Man, very enjoyable.

Did leave a little mystery around the money side, Clarence Avant seemed the prime suspect but then that wasn't what is about.

2 films on telly this weekend worth watching imo

Kill List on Ch 4 Sat night 11.15pm. A headwrecker of a flick . Have selfish reasons for recommending it as I am curious as to how others think of it. Very odd.

Adventureland on 11 50 pm Sun night on BBC2. Charming film ....... a must for anyone who ever worked a crappy summer job.

That's an oldie, one of my favourite all time movies. Think it was one of the first dvd's I ever bought too.
