silkyravenLast Days
This was an interesting film inspired by the last days of Kurt Cobain. There wasn't really any conceivable plot or characterisation, but it gave an insight into the world of someone ("Blake" - not Kurt Cobain really, the fact the actor was the spitting image was entirely coincidental ;o) ) deeply addicted to drugs, and basically incapable of living in the real world. It was interesting, but it was a little superficial. 6/10
Me, You and Everyone We Know
Another slightly arty film, but I really enjoyed this one. This tells the tale of fairly ordinary, if slightly mad, individuals struggling to live, love and generally make their mark on the world. It's quite a charming film, distinctly American I felt, but a nice watch if you have a few spare moments. 7/10
Bewitched
I enjoyed this much more than I thought I was going to. It was hilarious in places (I don't usually like Will Ferral much, but I can see why people do), but it wasn't a patch on the original. Isobel (Nicole Kidman) was a bit too much of a dumb blonde for my liking, and I wasn't particularly impressed by Michael Caine's performance, but it was very enjoyable overall. Good for a laugh if you're in the right mood. 7/10
Pride and Prejudice
I loved this. I love the book and it was nice to see it portrayed in the humorous spirit it was written. Donald Sutherland put in a particularly good performance as Mr Bennett, Keira Knightly was very good, and I thought Matthew MacFadyen was impressive as Mr Darcy. Lots of humour, romance and corsets. 8/10
Asylum
This was a bit disappointing. I wasn't really expecting much, but I didn't feel this film really got where it was trying to go. It's ok, but it was bit slow in the middle. I felt it lacked depth which it could have managed quite easily and the plot was extremely predictable. 6/10
