Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Don't know why, but I'd been avoiding this film. I deeply regret that now, brilliant flick. Matthew Broderick's best performance as an insanely likeable character.

Competent. Felt a bit uninspired. I am sure the book was much better. Characterisation was lacking substance too.

Harry Brown (2009)



Michale Caine is Harry Brown, the lone pensioner who becomes a vigilante & determined to avenge the brutal murder of his old mate at the hands of a bunch of local scum who terrorize the neighborhood. A fine addition to the old tough guys fighting back movies like Death Wish or recent Gran Torino with a dark & bleak tone overall.

>>: B+

Vertige: High Lane (2009)



A group of friends on vacation decide to venture onto a trail high up in the mountains that has been closed for repairs. The climb proves more perilous than planned, especially as they soon realize that they are not alone. The adventure turns into a nightmare.

A French thriller. Though nothing new but well made & enjoyable.

>>: B

Played way straighter than I expected from Bartel and avoids (most of the time) to rely on camp laughs. Great acting (from the main cast) and an amazing location make this an excellent dark off beat 'thriller'...
This sounds awesome.

Fighter (2007). More of a drama than a martial arts flick, i thought that it was well done in all aspects. The common complaint is that it was made in the shadow of other movies and really nothing new to offer. Whatever. i found the confilcts of the main character to be painfully believable and difficult; caught between two worlds with the potential of fitting into neither, the heroine does her best to juggle her personal desires with her cultural obligations, with the result disasterous nonetheless. Tending towards Hollywood expectations at times, the story tended to veer away from most movie cliches at the last minute. i thought the story was rather solid. The acting was competant, the direction good, and the score a little goofy but hard to comment upon as this is a Danish flick. The running scenes were particularly powerful depiction of our fighters struggles with contradiction and conflict, and i thought the daydream sequences to be revealing as to what was actually troubling our heroine. Either way, what threatened to be a typical teen coming of age flick turned out to be much more, at least IMHO. Ashe.
