The current movie season has been a fiasco so far. 10,000 BC is plainly atrocious (voted the most historically inaccurate movie ); Vantage Point serves as a kind reminder that Americans will never cease to be in love with the idea of democracy and a decent president; The Other Boleyn Girl proves even an all-star cast cannot make up for a poor script (although there were some convincing performances from supporting actors); The Accidental Husband is where Uma Thurman and Colin Firth illustrate that even big stars need money from time to time. Among the rare few films worth the odd £7-£8 for a night out are probably There Will be Blood - a solid story with great performance, although annoyingly slow and long (best served on a third date); No Country for Old Men - an Oscar-snatcher and a must see movie (perhaps for a second date); Orphanage (el Orfanato) , although subtitled, still delivers thrills that are just right for a first date.
Coming Attractions
Son of Rambow - a light-hearted comedy looks rather promising; Lars and the Real Girl - will showcase a refreshing and funny story and the Spiderwick Chronicles will no doubt bring back nostalgic feelings for magic stories of childhood.
