Hard to be a God (having now read the book)
Made a lot more sense this time, but I still think the subtitles bear little relation to what's actually being said. After an hour I gave up on them entirely and decided who was who from my memory of the book, made for a much more satisfying experience. I need to find a Russian to confirm my suspicions.
It's the sort of film I'd like to have on a constant loop so I could dip in an out of it.

Probably my favourite Luc Besson film. Leon and Fifth Element are close behind, but the ending of Big Blue gets some dust in both my eyes every time.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Fury starring Brad Pit. Not bad as far as war movies go. Quite gory. 8/10.

Before the Winter Chill - French film; stylish, fancy house, lots of silence and stuff, ultimately a load of nonsense...I think.

Just seen a preview screening of Legend, the new film about the Kray twins.
It's a decent enough film and Tom Hardy plays both roles well, but it left me feeling slightly underwhelmed.
Parts simply don't ring true, and in other parts it can't seem to decide if it's a comedy or a gangster movie, lurching from one to the other. So for all the good stuff it just doesn't live up to the hype.
Plus at 2hrs 11 mins its overlong.
7/10
PS - Mrs ND's opinion was that the previous Krays film with Martin Kemp in was better...

Victoria. Filmed and acted in one take with no editing. A Spanish woman gets entangled with four criminals in Berlin. Very intense film. Whatever your reservations about subtitles, put them to one side for two hours and 20 minutes.

Fantastic Four. 3/10
How can you make a boring film about something as interesting as 4 people with superpowers? I'm not sure who was more bored... me or the cast

Not last night, but a few nights ago i finally got round to watching What We Do In The Shadows... a mockumentary about a group of flat-sharing vampires. Definitely one of the better vampire films.

The Grand Budapest Hotel. Again.
Bloody brilliant. I like the story, and the performances a lot, but the framing of the shots, the cinematography and the production design are so, so wonderful.
The World's End
Probably my favourite of the Cornetto trilogy, I think - that surprised me, because I'm a big fan of Shaun of the Dead. Without giving away too much, I think the changed nature of the Frost/Pegg characters, compared to previous films, may have something to do with it.
