Saw two films this afternoon.

 

First up was Buried which was absolutely fantastic. I'd be amazed if Ryan Reynolds isn't in contention come awards season, he's literally the only thing on screen for the duration and a mixture of his performance and great storytelling means that you never get bored and are always on the edge of your seat. There's also a great gasp ending which I always love. There are a couple of little annoyances such as not really finding out for sure why he's there, but all in all one of the best films I've seen this year.

 

Then was Devil which was a decent enough way to spend 90 minutes, hardly a classic, but worth seeing. The customary Shayamalan twist isn't very good though, I called it early on.

Two big bets for me today;

 

Captain Cee Bee

Zaynar

 

I still really rate Zaynar's chances, I think he still would have been the favourite had he not been beaten at Kelso (in a race on awful ground, with a small field and false pace). I think back with conditions to suit today he could go well at 12/1 on Betfair is FAR too big.

I understand that this is primarily a wrestling forum, but how Lesnar v Mir can be classed as fight of the year I don't know.

 

He probably could go the entire year without fighting and still win fighter of the year on here this year.

Law Abiding Citizen

 

Really disappointed by this. The premise was good, but the script and acting were really poor and parts of it were predictable. It wasn't a terrible film by any means, but I'm glad downloaded an R5 version as opposed to spending money on it.

Harry Brown

 

One of the best films of the year for me. Caine gives a brilliant performance, and actually has you feeling sorry for his character. Well worth a watch!

Just got back from Inglorious Basterds, and as Mr. Seven says, it is a sublime piece of movie making.

 

The story is gripping, the dialogue is sharp and witty, and even at 150 minutes, I was left wanting more.
