Went to watch The Class tonight, aka Entre Les Murs, on this soaking wet rainy night. And it was worth getting a drenching for, very absorbing study of a French secondary school teacher trying to keep control in a multi-ethnic classroom of students from the 20th arrondissment of Paris. As well as some cracking performances, there was a storyline that kept your interest and a rather intriguing take on liberal teaching running underneath it all, along the lines of "You must do what I say, not what I do". Well worth a watch imo, probably the best thing I can remember seeing this year.

Only seen The Reader and Anvil! The Story of Anvil. Watchmen will raise that impressive total in the next few days.
 
New in Town. Rom com with Renee Zelwegger. Despite it being predicable it was a laff riot.

Me n sparklefish hope that one day our cinema will show something more worthwhile on a wednesday :(
 
Slumdog Millionaire 9/10

Milk 8/10 - great performance by Sean Penn, but some boring bits (e.g camera lovingly dwelling of recreation of 70s San Francisco)

The Wrestler 9/10 - excellently conveyed the grimey horror of the wrestling world

Frost/Nixon 8/10 - modest in scope - two good main performances

The Dark Knight (IMAX) 4/10 - boring

Rachel Getting Married 9/10 - my favourite so far, superb photography and acting masterclass

Surveillance 8/10 - good performances, but ludicrous plot that doesn't stand up to a minute's thought/

'Love & Honour' - Japanese filum at the ICA. Disappointed me a bit. Usually love this kind of thing, but didn't. Simple story but I just didn't love it. 6/10
2. Slumdog Millionaire - I loved it actually. 10/10
3. 'Üç maymun' - 'Three Monkeys': Turkish film at the NFT. Good but slow and a bit too highly emotional/depressing for a Friday evening. Good film but maybe I wasn't awake enough to enjoy it as much as I might have another time. 6/10.
4. Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona - really liked it. 9/10.

5. Last week I had the great misfortune to see 'The young Victoria' 1/10 Appalling. Didn't mean to see it - got the times wrong for another film - meant to see 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'. Utter tosh - insulting.
 
Changeling (8/10)
Che - Part One (9/10)
Defiance (7.5/10)
Revolutionary Road (7/10)
Slumdog Millionaire (9/10)
Confessions of a Shopaholic (5/10)
Che - Part Two (8/10)

I was really disappointed with that film - the director's last 2 have been really good (esp. Uzak) but that was, as you say, just too slow and depressing. I wouldn't blame yourself for not enjoying it, as it was probably the film itself that made you feel tired!

2 films this evening -
first off I saw Hush, I'd been looking forward to this for ages, but was disappointed, it just weren't scary enough.
after that I saw Marley and Me which was much better, funny and quite moving at times too:cool:

Australia 8/10
Slumdog Millionaire 5/10
The Reader 4/10
Vicky Christina Barcelona 7/10
The Wrestler 8/10
Confessions of a Shopoholic 6.5/10 - celluloid fun :p
Milk - 5/10 meh, nothing new and copied Tales of the City style and mood wise:(
Watchmen 8.5/10 - very exciting and slick!
Oasis Doc 8/10 - depressingly accurate
 
Slumdog Millionaire 9/10
Milk 8/10
The Wrestler 9/10
Frost/Nixon 8/10
The Dark Knight (IMAX) 4/10
Rachel Getting Married 9/10 - my favourite so far
Surveillance 8/10
The Reader 9/10 - genuinely erotic in the beginning, and then very moving, and great acting. I overcame my long-standing Kate Winslet prejudice, and Ralph Fiennes was brilliant

Also is the Apollo in Haymarket now the best looking cinema in Central London?
