It's already in it's 6th week & did not expect the movie house to still be jampacked. I ended up watching 3 seats from the front which gave me a headache. Anyway, the movie is just alright for me.Quote:

Couple that with Ray Winstone in one of the best small roles I've seen in years & you've got a brilliant film. The plot isn't too far-fetched & it really works well, it's the kind of film that leaves you wanting more at the end, but knowing it probably ended in the right place. I would say it's like a more gritty version of Taken, but with a far better plot & much more believable performances.
I also watched The Interpreter, I was thinking about writing a review for this, but then I found this online The Interpreter Movie Review | Mr. Cranky & it pretty much sums it up so I'm just going to copy that in. I've highlighted the last sentence because it really sums up just how shit this film is.
Given that "Out of Africa" showcased Africa primarily as a great place for attractive white people to have sex, director Sydney Pollack is now a two-time offender in the "attractive white people teach us about black people" genre as "The Interpreter" may be the most blatant insult suffered by Africa since slavery.
The film revolves around U.N. interpreter Silvia Broome (Nicole Kidman), who overhears a whispered plot to kill the visiting leader of the fictional (and dysfunctional) sub-Saharan African country of Matobo, President Zuwanie. Then, for reasons never fully explained, she flees the building like it's the house from "The Amityville Horror." It turns out Silvia grew up in Matobo. In fact, many moviegoers will be surprised to learn that she's the most African person on the planet. She speaks African dialects, cites African folklore, practices African customs, and even served a stint as an African revolutionary, despite the somewhat glaring fact that she's about two shades whiter than a bed sheet.
Warning: spoilers follow, but are so absurd you're not likely to believe them anyway. Silvia confesses a past romance with an African rebel leader, but then notes sadly, "then the politics of my skin got in the way." That's right, the plight of Africans victimized by racism now has a face, and that face is Nicole Kidman. Silvia confronts the discredited, black Zuwanie with a picture of himself as a boy exiled to the slums by white colonialists, and declares angrily, "That little boy was my country!" At one point, Silvia holds Zuwanie at gunpoint in a thinly veiled indictment of Africa's failure to govern itself. One notch higher on the self-righteousness scale and Kidman would have been standing alone in a room somewhere singing "We Shall Overcome."
Movies that elevate Hollywood's clueless, patronizing attitude to such a global scale have one name on their short list for male lead and one name only: Sean Penn. He plays secret service agent Tobin Keller, charged with ensuring Zuwanie's safety. Initially, Tobin suspects that Silvia is in on the plot somehow, but they grow close through the regurgitation of their mutual emotional baggage. Other key roles are a photographer (white), Silvia's brother (white) and the Matoban head of security (white). Black actors, however, do have their choice of several "dim-witted thug" roles.
Perhaps part of the problem is that three screenwriters are cited in the opening credits. Three screenwriters don't improve a movie any more than three prior divorces improve a marriage."The Interpreter" is offensive, patronizing, dull, flatly embarrassing, and in my humble opinion should be considered an international war crime.
Just watched the Spike Lee documentary 4 Little Girls about the Birmingham church bombing. Great film.
You can watch it here:

I watched the box last night & thought it was pretty good, think its a remake of a short film from the 1960's, basically a guy turns up @ cameron diaz's house with a box, she is told that if she presses a button on the top then she will recieve $1million but someone she doesnt know will die, she has 24 hrs before the guy offer this decision to someone else.
the first hour of the movie is really good but then quality drops a little.
but if u want summit a little different give this one a go

It's a very emotional film. The interviews with family members are gut-wrenching. It was filmed over 30 years after the bombing and their pain is still very raw. It's not without it's flaws IMO (I felt the interview with a clearly senile former Governer. Wallace was unneccessary and somewhat petty, though I understand it's inclusion), but it's a powerful and historically important film about a seminal moment in the civil rights movement.Quote:
