Heartless

Jamie is young man living in the east end of London and is isolated by the birthmark on his face. He catches sight of a strange figure in a derelict house's window one day while he is out photographing and from his obsession with the figure in the window strange and tragic situations begin to occur.
This was an unusual but good film. It's not quite as fast paced as horrors seem to be currently but the story is involved and clever and the actors give very strong performances.
An excellent thriller/horror that combines the gritty mean streets of London with twisted demonic forces of evil. 7/10

Alice in Wonderland

Tim Burton's pictures are a genre in their own right. This return trip to Wonderland see's Alice battling the Jabberwocky to save Wonderland from the dreaded red Queen.
To avoid disappointment I watched  this on Blu-ray and pretty sure that DVD would have lived up to my expectations just as well.
Johnny Depp plays the infamous Mad Hatter and is a delight as always!
I recommend this to any Tim Burton fan or anyone who wants to escape reality. 9/10

Wow! What a film. If you have seen Jean-Pierre Jeunet's previous titles 'Amelie' and 'Delicatessen' then you will not be surprised or disappointed with his latest picture.
Bazil, an ill fated being makes an unlikely group of friends living in a rubbish tip and begins a cartoon style trip of revenge.
There is something of magic in Jean-Pierre's quick witty style that really lights up the small screen with his vibrant colours and sepia tones he lifts your spirits and takes you in to an almost fairy tale life for a short while. I cannot recommend his work highly enough. This is a true masterpiece. 10/10 Oh and even the website is cool. http://micmacs.substance001.com/

Exam

8 candidates and only 1 job. From here you could probably surmise the entire film from just the one sentence alone.They have only 1 question to answer and certain guidelines to follow and they have only 80 minutes to do so. The rest is all dialogue and theory making.
This film is OK in the thriller category but it has been done so many times before that it no longer leaves you gasping at the end when you finally reach catharsis!
I don't want to spend all day tapping away about this film so I'll just say that if you like an easy to read thriller then you may like this. 6/10
