"Tyrannosaur" 7/10
Noticed this title on Netflix and saw that Peter Mullan (Session 9) was starring it,
so decided to give it a try.
And of course... he was terrific. But he was still topped by an outstanding performance from Olivia Colman (Hot Fuzz).
It's a slow, sad and gritty story that starts out with Mullan killing his own dog in rage. Yea, real nice fellow. By the end of the movie you believe all men in britain are crazy assholes.
Just too slow in places.
"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" 7-8/10
Yes, this was a good watch. Loved the daydreaming scenes, which were nicely made.
But for me the best and funniest part of the movie took place in New York. As soon as Ben Stiller started travelling around the world the daydreaming more or less stopped and the movie became slower and less funny. Sure, there were some beautiful sceneries, but his crush and his asshole boss (Adam Scott was a delight to watch in that role) were still in New York and that was too bad. I would've liked to see more of them. Wish he had brought them with him on his journey.
But Ben Stiller was actually pretty funny in this flick and Kristen Wiig was god damn hot!
