Four years ago (to the day) I started this blog in reaction to the depressing outcome of the 2004 election. Almost as part of a healing process - in order to help myself process my emotions and do something creative in a time of darkness.Since that day I have posted hundreds of notes, reviews, thoughts, quotes, links, photos and received hundreds of comments, praises and criticisms from people

Let me get this straight. I am one of Aaron Sorkin's biggest fans in the world. And following A Few Good Men, The American President and obviously The West Wing, I was really, really looking forward to watching Charlie Wilson's War directed by Mike Nichols and starring probably the three biggest stars in Hollywood right now: Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Unfortunately the

Ridley Scott's American Gangster surely must be one of the most important films of the year, and likely to become a classic of the genre in the years to come.+ Great performances all around with Denzel Washington and Ruby Dee standing out.+ Steven Zaillian's screenplay manages to combine unspeakable raw violence with wit; Harris Savides' cinematography is an instant classic; yet, I felt that the

I have total respect for the movies that don't take themselves seriously. Jon Turteltaub's National Treasure: Book of Secrets is so old-fashioned and superficial that it's great! Who said that we don't need good old escapism once in a while? Trust me, if you let your hair down for a couple of hours, you'll have lots of fun watching this. Jon Voight and Helen Mirren are sooooooo NOT appropriate

Maybe fed up by the ruthless and ubiquitous marketing campaign and the kitsch posters and visuals, I was really apprehensive about watching Chris Weitz' The Golden Compass, based on Philip Pullman's best-selling novel. The film was actually much better than I expected - and a lot more meaningful and interesting than any of the Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter movies. Sadly, The Golden Compass

Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis - one of my favourite graphic novels, an awesome book that you must read - is a fascinating, beautiful, bitter-sweet tale of growing up, fitting in and standing out that is presented in a unique visual way that is both lean and extremely effective. Satrapi's and Vincent Paronnaud's animated feature manages to perfectly convey the graphic novel's black-and-white,

Don't know why, but rating films has recently become a really difficult business. I used to know exactly how a film scored the moments the closing credits appeared on the screen. Not anymore. Not sure whether it is me growing old or films becoming more complicated and mixed. I had the same problem with Ratatouille - was it a 4/5 or a 5/5? Went with the fiver because I had great fun and the film

What can I say about Eastern Promises...Describing David Cronenberg's latest film as a 'thriller' does not do it justice. Yes it is a thriller. Mixed with writer Steve Knight's (Dirty Pretty Things) raw social realism, Guy Ritchie's underworld and a spy twist of John le Carre. Prostitutes, pimps, spies, drug dealers, the Russian mafia - all in all, another day in Roman Abramovich's, Boris

A few days ago I watched Pixar's latest animated film, Ratatouille directed by the genius Brad Bird who previously directed The (fabulous) Incredibles. Unbelievable as it may seem, Pixar have managed - once again - to surpass themselves and offer us a five-course, five-star treatment. Ratatouille is an amazing feast of colours, sounds, movement, laughter, slapstick, romance and metaphors. It's

I don't like road movies. That's the rule. The exception is James C. Strouse's Grace is Gone which I watched a few days ago at the 51st London Film Festival.+ John Cusack gives the performance of the year - the performance of his career - as the father who's trying to tell his daughters that their soldier mum has just been killed in Iraq. Instead of actually telling them, he takes them on a trip

Tony Gilroy's Michael Clayton is a solid, gripping corporate/legal thriller in the tradition of John Grisham's / Sydney Pollack's The Firm. Only (quite a lot) darker. And maybe a little bit less engaging.+ George Clooney gives a strong performance which evolves subtly through the film. Tom Wilkinson and Sydney Pollack are great in the supporting roles. However I think the film belongs to Tilda
