Bonnie and Clyde (1967) - 10/10.

One of my new favourite films, Warren Beaty is so awesome in this.

Hannibal Rising (2007) - 6/10.

Worth watching if your a fan of the series, but overall pretty mediocre.

Doubt

I've been looking forward to this one for a long time, and it didn't disappoint in the least.

Streep and Hoffman absolutely light the screen on fire - the climactic scene in Streep's office has to be one of the most intense that I've seen in quite some time.

It's a film that leaves a lot of room for the audience to think, thanks to a fantastic script. SPOILER: I still can't say for sure whether or not he actually did it. I'm inclined to side with Streep's character, but I love how they left it VERY open ended.

It's shame that this one isn't up for Best Picture: far better than Slumdog or Benjamin Button.

Watching a Ozploitation set I have to review for another site.

Great stuff in it like Long Weekend and Stone.

Awesome! I'm glad you saw it. I thought it was great, too. What I love about the film (and this goes along with your spoiler) is that nothing is wasted. It's a very simple film, and it presents itself as such; no excess or extraneous B.S. It's a film called Doubt, and it deals with just that, on all fronts.

Absolutely agreed.

EDIT: Read this Return (SPOILER!!!): I hear what you're saying about being inclined to agree with Sister Aloysius, especially after she claimed to have contacted some people in Father Flynn's past and his subsequent nervousness/freaking out over this. However, it's just another part of the puzzle. It could be absolutely anything in his past that made him worried at this prospect, not necessarily sexual abuse. I love the handling of the idea of doubt in the film, because that is its central focus. Whether or not Father Flynn is guilty is immaterial, and to have given even the slightest evidence one way or the other would have completely ruined the film. Thoughts?
At any rate, I agree with you. Great film. Brilliant script. And the acting (yes, especially the scene in the office!!!) is, as you said, illuminating.

5/5.

Where did you get your hands on Long Weekend?


Zack and Miri make a Porno

I was pretty much avoiding this movie untill I found out it was a Kevin Smith flick. I don't know how thatslipped by me in the first place. It was pretty funny, but pretty average, and then ending killed it a bit.

6/10

Onibaba (1964)

lust, envy, wrath and betrayal all wrapped up amazingly in this cinematic spectacle of human drama. The camera work, characterization, scores and the beautiful creepy mask all were undoubtedly excellent.

What Just Happened---meh....nothing special. DeNiro was good.

Sex Drive---funnier than I thought it was gonna be.
