Best School in the World

I wish i went to this school!

Slumdog Millionaire

****1/2

Might not deserve best picture but a brilliant film. I personally hope The Wrestler wins.

Seven Pounds

***

7 is not a lucky number for this film. Very average, slow paced and although it should be it's not engaging in the slightest. You had to have a movie that didn't destroy the box office at some stage Will.

Gran Torino

*****

Stunning film. Clint Eastwood is THE man.

Devil's Haircut

Eeeep...tis a bit short.

It was brown and light brown and sepia...

Reckoner

Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore..

This song brings about sheer elation 

Choke

***

Maybe I should have just read the book.

"We've taken the world apart...but we have no idea what to do with the pieces..."

Pride & Glory

***1/2

One word - Grit.

Ed Norton can do no wrong (Keep in mind I haven't seen the Hulk).

Thanks to this film though for enabling me to discover Sage Francis. His track "water line" plays over the end credits. 

One of the freshest tracks I've heard for a long time.

I don't even usually like hip hop.

And I respect my elders, so I do as I'm told 

But I offset the bell curve when I do it with soul 

Losing control 

Guilty feet do have rhythm 

They just dance to the wrong theme music to amuse the villain 

The Wrestler

****1/2

Such a brilliant film. Darren Aronofsky delivers a beautiful, touching film once again. Never take your family for granted.

Defiance

 

****

 

Makes me realise how lucky I really am. I should rarely be so audacious to complain.

2009

2009 will be fine. It will be mine. :)
