Before the Devil Knows You're Dead 2007,  R)
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
An extremely surprising find with possibly Ethan Hawke?s best performance to date, plus great performances from both Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Albert Finney. The flashbacks are a tad tiresome at times, but the editing of them are very clever in the storytelling. A unique angle for the ?robbery? theme films and one that just got better and better as it went on.

The Bourne Ultimatum 2007,  PG-13)
The Bourne Ultimatum
This non stop Action film is exciting from start to finish. This last installment of the trilogy is by far the best. A very minor disappointment for me, was not having Paddy Considine take a bigger role (but that's just pure bias on my part).

From the fight scenes to the car chases, different Countries to speaking different languages - this has become my favourite Action film ever.

Those of you who are interested in how the film was put together, ie Direction, stunts, fight choreography etc, the special features is definitely worth a look, showing Matt Damon as easy going, eager to learn, gutsy Actor, who will try his hand at absolutely anything (yes that's me eating my words of slating Matt Damon in the past!)

Amazing Grace 2007,  PG)
Amazing Grace
A story that rightfully deserves recognition for it's place in history and opens the eyes of those who do not realise exactly what people went through during the slave trade years.

Both storyline and cast were worthy enough in the making of a great film, however admittedly, I did find myself losing concentration in parts, despite the story being of great interest to me.

Fantastic animation, an enjoyable film

Ocean's Twelve 2004,  PG-13)
Ocean's Twelve
This sequel was absolutely awful. How can they get it so wrong, with the list of stars that appeared in this movie? Had to watch it in two parts from boredom and when it came to the 'Julia' scene, I just thought it was laughable

Big Fish 2004,  PG-13)
Big Fish
A fantastic adventure story, a truly beautiful film. I just love Albert Finney in this role and Ewan McGreggor too. This is an easy watching kind of ?moral to the story? type film, one that can be enjoyed at any age and watched over and over again, a real modern day fairy tale.

Traffic 2000,  R)
Traffic
I was really expecting some kind of over the top, Hollywood action film and was pretty impressed to see a more serious, quite realistic type of film, with great acting. Don Cheadle is fast becoming one of my favourite actors.

Admittedly this film has it's boring parts, but made quite an impact in other parts.

Erin Brockovich 2000,  R)
Erin Brockovich
An intriguing true story, I rarely give Julia Roberts credit, but think it was a part she took well. The passion for the human side of law was the whole substance of this film. Aaron Eckhart was truly unrecognisable.

Rich in Love 1993,  PG-13)
Rich in Love
The title seems to vary in meaning throughout the family focussed on in this film, the sense of family and love all exist through the main character who seems to be the bond holding everything together.

One of those sort of films that you find watchable, yet has no real structure to it.

Miller's Crossing 1990,  R)
Miller's Crossing
I really chose the wrong state of mind to watch this in, as it needed plenty of concentration (something I was lacking in at that moment). It soon became relevant that I?d missed parts of the storyline which were relevant, yet really enjoyed the last half of this film. I hope to watch this again fairly soon, to pick up on the bits that I missed.



It seemed an impressive role for Gabriel Byrne, who I tend to find a complete hit, or a complete miss in most films he is in (and always reminds me of Pacino),



Looking forward to my next viewing of this old Mobster film, where I can guarantee my rating will go up.

It?s been a fair while since watching this film, which was a childhood favorite of mine. A rags to riches tale with a heartwarming end. Great performances from Albert Finney and Tim Curry.

Saturday Night And Sunday Morning
This down to Earth Northern England story sees a very young Albert Finney showing off young talent in a fairly controversial situation for it's time, with reminders of Alfie (which was a later film), the situation makes for an interesting story and is as gritty as films of that age allow to be.
