Inland Empire

5/5

Lynch has done it again! Another warped film, that is utterly amazing. This is really difficult to actually review. There is just so much here, and the way it is done, just done so well. Much like Lost Highway and Mulholland Dr. this has the same kind of thing, characters, becoming different people. You know the drill. David Lynch has done this in such a way that you can decide for yourself what is going on, the clues are there. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. I was amazed, this is a three hour film, not once did it drag, it actually felt like a 90min film and I wanted so much more. Laura Dern is this movie, she simply puts on a career best performance. I know this film will be hated, it is not for those who want things handed to them gift wrapped. This is a film that makes you think, like trying to solve a mystery. That is the beauty of Lynch's work, he makes you think, he forces you to use your head, to think, to find answers. Quite simply, I love you David Lynch!

The Lookout

4 / 5

Surprising movie, I wasn't really expecting much, it had a good trailer and I thought surely the movie wouldn't end up being very good. But as I said surprising, it really was quite good! Basically the story of a young guy Chris (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who gets in a bad car accident and gets injured and isn't quite the same again. He lives with a Lewis (Jeff Daniels) a blind man, and attends classes, sees a case worker and does night shift at a bank. He then meets Gary (Matthew Goode), who basically befriends him, puts ideas in his head to get Chris to do what he wants. I suppose it helps through Gary he meets Luvlee (Isla Fisher), Chris fancies her ect... I wont give any more away, as the movie progresses it gets more interesting and intense. Scott Frank, makes his directortial debut and I think he did a really good job, this held my interest from start to finish. All the performances are really good, Joseph Gordon-Levitt can do no wrong. Matthew Goode was surprising as Gary, I think he gave off all the right vibes. Jeff Daniels walked through this, and he did it well. Isla Fisher can play an air head, a cute air head really well. This is definitely a movie I'd recommend.

A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints

4 / 5

Started off a little slow, but once you get through that, it gets really good, and I was really into it. Basically its the story of Dito, asked by his Mamma to come back to NY to see his dying father, he's written a book about his life, and as he heads to his old home, we see his life before he left NY. Robert Downey Jr is really good in this, his scenes with Diane Wiest are great. Rosario Dawson always brings it, for her few scenes she owned it. Back in the past we have Shia LaBeouf as the young Dito, I have to say I seriously love this guy, he really owned this role. Although I have to say it was a bit weird hearing him tell his girlfriend he wanted to 'lick her pussy' lmfao! And Channing Tatum also owned his role as Dito's some what crazed friend Antonio. I'd have to say those two were really the stand outs, and their scenes with Chazz Palminteri who also is fantastic are some of the best in the film. This wont be for everyone, especially as the beginning might put people off, but I say give it a go.

Entourage - Latest Episode

For a filler episode of Entourage I thought this was pretty good and it was hilarious. Stepping away from all the movie talk, this episode was strictly about secks! Unable to name anyone he's slept with, without later trying to persue something with them, E gets put in the postion that he has to have a One Night Stand that day, before Turtle can. With Vince as his 'guide' and Drama and his, the boys go off, to find their conquests. While Vince and E find two brits (One being Sophie Monk with a bad accent), Turtle and Drama find something else. Wont spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but it is HILARIOUS! Its nice to have these kinds of episodes every once in awhile, having the guys be the guys.

Meanwhile Ari's storyline was going back to wanting his son in the same school as his daughter, with all the other private schools rejecting them (The headmaster hates Ari and basically must have told the other schools about him), they check out a public school. After a kid kicks Ari (Funny) he vows to get his son into that school. By episodes end, Ari is in tears, and I was laughing so hard! Can't wait for next weeks episode, although I'm hanging out for the Cannes episode which I believe will be the Season Finale!

Snatch

4/5

So I finally got around to seeing this, took me long enough, much like with Lock Stock. I thought it was pretty awesome, pretty fun movie. I did like Lock Stock better, but not by much. Great cast all round, I do love me some Jason Statham mmmm. Brad Pitt was hilarious as Mickey, can't understand a word he says either. Bullet Tooth Tony was quite the character, Vinnie Jones suits these kinds of roles. Boris the Blade was quite hilarious, and I did love Dennis Farina as well. I seriously thought Jason Flemyng looked like the red-haired Johnny Spiteri (David Wenham in Gettin' Square) just loved him! And the quotes, so many quotes!

"You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity." - Tony

"Did you understand a single word of what he just said?" Turkish (About Mickey)

"I thought you said he was a getaway driver. What the fuck can he get away from?" Vinny (About Tyrone, the big guy)
