Movie roundup
Been to see a few movies lately - here’s a two minute summary (scores are out of 100)
Revolver - Guy Ritchie’s latest movie. A potentially interesting storyline pissed all over in the last half hour. 65
A Very Long Engagement - French movie from director Jean Pierre Jeunet, a follow-on from Amélie (one of my all-time favourite movies). It’s not a sequel, but Audrey Tautou and other familiar faces reappear in this flick. Not as good as Amélie, but still well worth watching. I enjoyed it. 75
Pride & Prejudice - I’ve read the book, but didn’t see the Colin Firth BBC series. Well enough played by the actors, but the camerawork is a bit distracting at times. If you’re a bloke, take a girl with you. This is basically a chick flick (although i want to see the TV series now) 80
Dukes of Hazzard - I was expecting this to be silly and rubbish. It turned out to be silly and rather good. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and the casting was perfect… 85
Still to see,
Serenity - TV series was ace
A Scanner Darkly - strange enough to be interesting

Well I managed to get out of seeing this at the cinema, and I have to admit you surprise me somewhat. However, I bought the DVD’s of the anniversary edition for Suzanne the other week, so if you want I’ll nab them and you can watch it? I have to confess, it (alas) wasn’t as bad as I thought… 5 and a half hours though!
