Animal Kingdom

Australian crime thriller. Quality

Agree, if it in fact is the one I am thinking of with Guy Pearce in it.

Gritty in your face crime thriller which I particularly like. No black and white characters in it which I liked.
Based on a "true story" I believe.

Have Animal Kingdom ordered from recommendations in this thread. Should be there when I get home, maybe get it watched tonight.

I liked Animal Kingdom but the character development was poor and the acting at times was a bit meh! I actually thought Guy Pearce was on auto-pilot. Worth a watch though.

Thought it was a pretty decent flick.

Watched Mary Shelley's Frankenstein last night. Had remembered being not to impressed with it as a 14 year old - and unfortunately my fears were confirmed. Branagh totally out of his depth as a director and an actor in this one. De Niro's creature was the only thing with any sense of anything. It's shot with such cheap day time soap opera cinematography that it really just sucks.

4/10. They could have done so much more with it. In the words of the Mrs - there wasn't even enough Aiden Quinn to bring it up to a 5.

Watched Despicable Me this evening, excellent show, very funny.

Followed that up with funny people, very surprised by this, thought it was a good show, some comedy but more a drama, well worth a look but long, 150 min I think

Found this a really hard watch, dont know what it was supposed to be and was way way too long

I saw Despicable Me at the weekend....tis indeed very funny.
Also watched Source Code....good enough show but the story is kind of predictable.

Saw The Ides of March last night. A political thriller. Cracking film, would recommend it highly. Very good cast. Not the longest of films though.

Murder By Numbers was decent.

Actually going to try and get my hands on Frankenstein and Dracula to see what they are like.

Tin Tin 2 D for me was pretty entertaining.

7.5 out of 10.

Saw Drive recently and was good 7/10, great soundtrack aswell,

Saw the guard and didnt reach my expectations 6.5/10

Last night watched the Tree of Life with pitt and penn, very good, not your normal movie, 8.5/10. Some performances by the child actors though... Terence malick directed.

Watched fracture again last night, cracking film with Ryan Gosling and Anthony Hopkins, top notch thriller.
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Saw Contagion.
Felt like a documentary rather than a film but it was Ok.
6/10

Going to see it tomorrow but unfortunately only 3D in the local cinema.

Must watch Drive this week.
