The Dark Knight (2008)
It put a smile on my face =)
The best film of 2008 (so far) and its very unlikely to be taken over! The direction is superb, the acting phenomenal and the action is non-stop. All the plaudits that this film is getting are more than deserved.
Heath Ledger & Christian Bale are both brilliant in this film. Ledger was a surprise casting (for me) as the Joker but it is one of the greatest portrayals of a villain I have ever seen in a film! Bale is a superb actor and he again makes the role of the Dark Knight his own.
Good supporting performances from Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart & Gary Oldman. A great soundtrack to match as well.
10/10
In Bruges (2008)
Fairytale film...Not for the easily offended...or Midgets
One of my favourite films to come out of 2008 and possibly of all time. Originally went to the cinema to see something else but that film sold out, so we chose this film having only ever seen a poster for it.
The film is hilarious. By far the funniest film I've seen in a while. It also is quite violent in places but McDonagh gets the balance just right.
Great performances from Farrell, Gleeson & Fiennes. I have never been a big fan of Farrell but he did very well in this part. Having not really seen much of Gleeson or Fiennes stuff, I went in with an open mind and they were both excellent too.
A great film, with superb humour. 10/10
Men Seeking Women (1997)
Not even worth a £1!
I brought this film in good faith as Will Ferrell was in it thinking it would be hilarious. Was very disappointed with the film, the story line and the acting. Basically 3 guys who can't get dates/girlfriends have a bet to give them an incentive, with supposedly "hilarious consequences". However, I must have missed these "hilarious consequences." I managed to buy this film for a £1, but I wouldn't even pay that for it. If you like Will Ferrell, stick to Anchorman, Talledega Nights etc. It even sent my girlfriend asleep whilst watching this, it was that boring. So to sum up, not funny, not worth a pound, forget it!
