Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - 8/10.Extremely complex spy thriller that demands your undivided attention.

Tried watching but had to stop 45min in was to slow paced but will give another try.

Try watching it with the subtitles on.

Love (2011)

An astronaut is stranded on a space station for many years, alone. 7/10

Mr. Nice (2010)

The life story of Howard Marks, an elite British drug smuggler. Howard only smuggled Hashish, never resorted to violence and when caught managed to wriggle himself out of it. He spent 7 years in an American prison when he took them on. Funny and entertaining. The movie starts off in black and white, but as soon as he takes his first toke colour appears. 6/10

50/50 - Inspired by a true story, a comedy centered on a 27-year-old guy who learns of his cancer diagnosis, and his subsequent struggle to beat the disease.

Seriously depressing movie and would have been much worse if Seth Rogen wasn't in it. But still worth watching - 6.5/10

Knocked up - 5/10 Very average, with some funny parts.

 

[Xmailer9]

Borat - 7/10 Actually quite enjoyable.

Idiocracy - 7/10 Very funny movie

Unthinkable 7.5/10

Could have been a 9 if there was more character development.
Mr Jackson does make me believe that he is his character, also the "terrorist" acts pretty well.

This movie asks some uncomfortable questions and makes up for a few dull moments with the way it makes you think just where would you draw the line if you were placed in the same position.

The Iron Lady 8/10

Lots of jumping back & forth between then & "now".
The movie provides & interesting insight, almost sad at times.

Haha.
I was forced to put the subtitles on to follow properly, so it felt like reading a good old fashioned John le Carré novel.


Margin Call 7/10 - Follows 24 hours in the life of an investment company facing a financial crises and how the various powers that be, deal with it.Highly technical but very interesting.
