Food for Thought

Dark examination of chance and fate covers familiar ground, but Woody Allen responds to it with a fresh unexpected twist. Good performances all round. Very good movie.

A story of a man who revisits his past, only to find the lessons he learnt haven't been forgotten, just buried. The movie has its moments, with its lush, beautiful scenery. Sweet, touching and lovely.

Highly entertaining reinvention of the Batman franchise, ingenious script, impeccably cast and executed.

A provocative drama offering consistently disturbing and believable scenes. Excellent work by Haggis.

I feel that the movie is a depiction of an actual relationship, a depiction of the way that people fall in love with their illusions about somebody as much as with the real person. Then the pain and the difficulty and the disenchantment that comes when those things fall away. The notion of a couple getting through the difficult act of forgiveness and an unexpected chance at redemption make the movie more meaningful than it normally would. A love story told backwards.

Clever movie laced with uniquely New York-flavoured moments of humour and riffs. Owen stands out with his performance.

A vibrant production. Cast is tops, with Knightley enchanting as Elizabeth, Macfadyen an estimable Mr. Darcy. Absolute classic.

My favourite movie to date hands down. Watched it countless times. Bale's best performance thus far. Wonderfully cast, except Scarlett, who looks out of place with her Malibu Barbie looks. Great movie by Chris Nolan. Can we expect anything less? A masterpiece.

A really nuanced movie with great humour. Laughed so hard.

A movie about how Bond became Bond. Daniel Craig is the best James Bond in my opinion. Loved Eva Green as Vesper Lynd. Not your typical beautiful bimbo Bond girl.

Loved Meryl Streep. Emily Blunt was excellent.

Filled with terrific scenes and strong performances and the director's eye for detail is amazing. You feel that it's not so much what the people say as how they say it. There is a scene that is so pure and moving, when George sings about Jesus calling him home, and how Madeleine looks on in shock, as if seeing her husband for the very first time. Other memorable scenes include Johnny's unexpected reaction when a documentary about meerkats comes on TV, and a poignant moment between George and Ashley in the hospital. Wonderfully honest. A must-see film for any true film fan.

Intelligent and charming. Beautiful and interesting throughout.

Touched on important world issues without being too preachy or documentary-like. Very good performances by Leo, Djimon Hounsou, and Jennifer Connolly.

Eerie, weirdly compelling psychological thriller that shows the workings of the subconscious and is full of literary nuances. Beautifully designed and shot. Bale's mere presence is disturbing.

Watched it a million times. What can I say? I'm a sucker for dystopian future movies. Better than 'The Matrix' cos it's a thinking movie.

Ever notice that the blood disappears once it touches the ground? That aside, loved it and the noir-like feel adds to the elegance of the film. Watched it twice in the same week!

Fresh, funny, and smart from start to finish. Everyone is good, but Miller is a standout.

Goes to show that love CAN be bought. Lots of name-dropping, but that's to be expected. Surprisingly good for a French movie. Enjoyed it.

This "mockumentary" was really good and funny. Haven't laughed like that in ages. Clever and fresh. Loved it.

Slick script, superior action scenes, and an array of colourful, well-drawn characters make this fun from start to finish. Entertaining caper.

Staggering adaption in gritty black and white. The three central characters give unforgettable performances. Outstanding screenplay and cinematography. Intense.

A provocative look at emotionally wounded people, propelled by strong performances and narration. Flawless.

Wild, over-the-top movie. Reeves is completely believable, and Pacino gives a delicious performance. The film goes on too long, but it's spiked with arresting scenes.

Extremely well acted, especially by Owen and Portman. Provocative.

Good thriller.

Mindless neo noir entertainment. Like how the protagonist breaks away from the story to mock the film. Enjoyable characters and charismatic stars make it watchable.

Amazingly clever. A work of genius.

Strong performances by Washington and Crowe make this movie engrossing and richly satisfying to watch.
