It's been given a cinema release in Australia which came as a surprise after seeing actually seeing the film. What on earth possessed a distributor to pick the film up and a cinema to actually show what should have gone straight to cable TV. It's now in it's third week.
I found this beautifully filmed film, silly stuff to begin with but very watchable until about the 80 minute mark when it lurches into totally absurd territory. The writer should have no problems selling the story to Hollywood.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009; Steve Carr) 5/10
It's as dumb as you'd expect it to be, yet, it's strangely endearing, and even occasionally inspired: the early scene involving Survivor's "I Can't Hold Back" is genuinely brilliant.

Wendy and Lucy (dir. Kelly Reichardt) - 6.5/10
A very disappointing follow-up to Old Joy but still compelling.

The Reader (Stephen Daldry, 2008) 3/10
Amazed how this film managed a best picture nod!! I prefer Winslet's performance in Revolutionary Road.

It is pretty slight, even for a Woody Allen film, but I don't see what all the negative energy was for. It isn't horrible, and it keeps the attention, but in the end it is just sort of there and doesn't really leave any taste. Farrell and McGregor are good, and newcomer Hayley Atwell is radiant as the actress-girlfriend. Current board favorite Sally Hawkins even has a nice supporting role. The whole thing, though, is fairly one-note.
Pretty much, though I didn't like Farrell very much. Nor Atwell. And the ending is atrocious.

Nothing but the Truth 7/10
Suprisingly good film. I couldn't believe in my eyes that Kate Beckinsale could actually act. Mat Dillon and Alan Alda were equally impressive, but the movie belongs to Vera Farmiga.
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist 6,5/10
Another good film i didn't see it coming. A very charming couple of protagonists and an interesting take on a subject done thousand times before. The inclusion of the gay friends did help the film, but the toilet humour did not.
