Watched Safe House tonight and already regret it. Wow that was awful. I found the direction and cinematography to be poor at best. It aimed at be a tense, taught thriller but was nothing of the sort. Some establishing shots included the typical "[day of the week][time]" stamps, but those were rarely helpful. "Saturday, 6:43 AM" doesn't mean anything to me when the last time stamp came a full 30 minutes prior and the entire time between was filled up with non-stop action (some of the scenes were disorienting, even), and I can already see that it's morning by the light the whole shot is bathed in.
The ending really dropped the movie down a notch in my book. They tried to answer ever single question with it, and we all know how tedious that can be - sometimes less is more.

"Shut up and Play the Hits"
for those who are LCD Soundsystem fans. I think this will be a great documentary.

Looks like this thread is also getting infested by elitists and hipsters.
Anyway bruvs, I got the hottest recommendation ever for you: Attack the Block!
I fuckin lol'd for 90 mins straight and was thoroughly entertained, too.
This could very well be the best movie of 2011. Yes fags, it beats Poetry and Melancholia and The Artist and Pariah and Hugo and that overrated crap Drive by a mile.

I just watched Drive twice in a row. Fucking incredible film. The music and score are both excellent, so is the photography. It's like an hour and forty minutes of ultraviolent Michael Mann Viagra.
I watched this last night, a great film indeed.
Although, I felt the dialogues (or lack of) were too sparse for most of it, but I know it served to increase the tension in the film.... and on that basis, it did work.
For those that have watched it, I hope you know what I'm referring too.

My only issue with the film. Those extended silenced just felt very try-hard imo. Aside from that, I enjoyed it.

Just saw chronicle. Meh 5/10. First half reminded me of the X-Files, the second reminded me a bit of Akira, for some reason.
