  • 'In the loop' is just pure class.

    Best film of 2009 by some way in my opinion. Excellent hilarious characters portrayed brilliantly by everyone involved. Capaldi is the star because Malcolm Tucker is just a superb character (I'd never watched 'In the thick of it' but I certainly intend on doing so having watched this). 'In the loop' is absolutely crammed full of brilliant lines and clever quips, it never lets up for a minute, the writing is just dazzling. The original take was apparently close to four hours long and to be honest I would love to sit and watch that version in it's entirety, maybe the DVD will include some of this lost footage, I certainly hope so. I need to watch this film again and again because there are so many lines that I probably missed the first time around. I can't really do it justice in a short review like this but 'In the loop' is one of very few truly great films released in 2009. Unless you're a moron or you think Transformers 2 was a good film you need to see this. Also, I love Gandolfini, just pure class.

  • Self indulgent genius

    A more shocking set of images and scenes you are unlikely to find in a mainstream film and reading other reviews it's pretty clear that this film splits audiences right down the middle for that reason alone. The violence and sexual content is disturbingly graphic and will undoubtedly be far too much for many people to handle. However, if you can stomach all of that and you are willing to invest in a lot of symbolism and suggestive imagery then there is a lot of to be taken from viewing Lars Von Triers 'Antichrist'. Some of the cinematography is superb and the acting (while deeply disturbing) is also excellent. I don't think I'll ever be able to watch Charlotte Gainsbourg in anything else without wincing. Basically it's a piece of self indulgent art made by Lars Von Trier, I doubt very much if he cares whether you like it or not.

  • Cage steals it

    Dancing souls of dying drug dealers, Iguanas aplenty and more than enough seedy corruption mixed into this bizarre but effective Werner Herzog directed update of the Harvey Keitel original. I went in not expecting all that much but was pleasantly surprised by what I got. Cage is excellent and if you laugh then it's because you are supposed to!. It's fractured, it's odd, it's strange, and it's patchy but then we are watching a man on the very brink of self destruction and we are seeing it pretty much through his eyes. Some may miss the tone but I think it's relatively clear it's not supposed to be taken too seriously and that Cage has got the whole thing down to a tee. Val Kilmer is a little muted and the other people are merely extras because this is Cages film...
