Movie recommendations

[Tony Baloney]

Watched a film called Tyrannosaur the other night. British film directed by Paddy Considine. If I hadn't known previously he had directed it I would have sworn it was a Ken Loach film. Very dark but excellently acted. 8/10 for me.

Also enjoyed Layer Cake before it. A solid 7/10.

Was listening to the radio yesterday and they were reviewing 'The Master' written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Talking about Oscars for the movie and Joaquin Phoenix.

Not sure what I make of PTA. I liked Boogie Nights and There will be Blood but did not like Magnolia at all and they were saying this one is much in the same vein. Think I'll give it a go anyway.

Tyrannosaur was critically acclaimed and won a lot of awards but isn't exactly mainstream or everyones cup of tea.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Think this has to be my favourite movie of 2012 - stunning performances from the 3 leads including Harry Potter girl. A very intelligent subtle emotional movie. Won't be everyone's cup of tea but I can't recommend it enough 9/10. Added bonus of a brilliant soundtrack, anything that has Bowie and The Smiths is alright with me.

Heard it was heavily recommended, saw it and was disappointed. I understand the intelligent emotional movie line and it depends on how well you can stomach some of the themes in the film. Good soundtrack. In this vein of story-line I preferred "About a Boy" or even the poorly rated "Adventureland".

Well I did say it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, I'd rate Adventureland as well though.

Ah its all about opinion.

Skyfall - 7.5/10. Enjoyable stuff, enjoyed the different tangent it took. Anyone gurning about product placement is easily upset. Hardly a big deal at all.

I've just watched Dead Man's Shoes based on the recommendations here. I can only add mine to the list of recommendations. Excellent.

Finally got to see Skyfall last night, better than the last Bond film but loads of plot holes as usual. No surprise Javier Bardem played a excellent villain though the story line could have been better.  6.5 out of 10

Javier played an excellent villain (misnomer?) in the film No Country for Old Men.

In NCFOM he was the best villain I have ever seen.
