Letterboxd — Your life in film

"There's this guy. He's a kind of cop, at least he used to be. He doesn't care about proof, he doesn't care about the law, he only cares about what's right. He knows what I did. You can't protect me. No one can."

We're at the end of the year, but it's never too late to get a surprise gift. I was sure Jack Reacher was going to be shit. I had no desire to see it after watching the…

The Impossible is a good movie it really is. The problem is it's so damn predictable! This could of been a real tearjerker, but since you know exactly what's going to happen, every scene that should have an emotional impact on the viewer simply doesn't. The issue isn't with the characters or the story itself. Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts, and Tom Holland are all excellent in their roles. The problem falls in the hands of the director and the writers.…

This is 40 has received some pretty mixed reviews, that mostly sway toward the negative side. I still wanted to see it though because I've liked most of Apatow's films.

I must say it was much better than I expected since most of the reviews have been negative. I like Paul Rudd in general and Leslie Mann is just fine. I enjoyed there characters and the kids where fine as well. Meagan Fox, Jason Segal, and John Lithgow all make…

Zero Dark Thirty comes as one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year. Jessica Chastain has been nominated for an Oscar and multiple other awards. It's sparked debate with it's scenes of torture. There's a lengthy and very interesting debate about it in Dirk's review thread. All of this had me really curious what I'd make of it.

Well I gotta say I was a bit underwhelmed. I could tell you my political views, but I'd rather just…

Well this was disappointing to say the least, although my expectations weren't really high due to the mixed reviews the film has received.

I liked the Lord of the Rings trilogy but not quite as much as most people. They were good films in my opinion not great but that's partly because they're not necessarily my type of film. So going into The Hobbit knowing it was the first film of a trilogy based on a book that's not very…

Every year it seems there's a film I'm really looking forward to that ends up being a big disappointment! This year that film is Killing Them Softly! Going by the trailers this looked like my type of film, gritty and violent with everything else you'd expect from a film called Killing Them Softly. Sadly it didn't take me long to realize that wasn't what I was going to get.

The build up to Brad Pitt finally appearing on screen seemed…

The first 30 minutes or so I wasn't sure how much I was going to like this film because it starts off a little slow. No worries though because once we get into the meat of the story Life of Pi really shines. I hadn't read the novel so I really had no idea what this film was about. I'd heard over the years that it's a brilliant novel. Well I can believe that now because the story here is…

"I was a slut. There will always be a part of me that is dirty and sloppy, but I like that, just like all the other parts of myself. I can forgive. Can you say the same for yourself, fucker? Can you forgive? Are you capable of that?"

Attention filmmakers!
If you are thinking of making a romantic comedy, I beg you, I Implore you please watch Silver Linings Playbook, pay attention, and take notes. If you do that and…

All 4 stars I give this film are for the performances. They truly drive the film and make it a quality motion picture. Daniel Day-Lewis will get most of the praise, and as usual he's very deserving. That being said, he's not the only one who gives a great performance. Tommy Lee Jones and Sally Field will surely see Oscar nominations for their roles. The casting director for Lincoln definitely deserves praise because every character, even some of the smaller…
