I didn't think this film would be as good as it undoubtedly is. It's comedy. It's not cheap, but rather simple - it speaks to many while not being slapstick and crap. It's sickeningly funny at times. A cat fashion show, perfume, bears, the 1970s, sexism and great use of the word "whore", real panther bits, the meaning of "social status" and gang warfare. It's all here, plus much more.

Very simple and straightforward documentary on a simple, strong and fierce person by the name of Harvey Milk, who really did a lot to try and make life easier for homosexuals, heterosexuals... Well, tax-payers in general. It describes his life and troubles in depth without becoming clogged. Good interviews, very well-made and tragic. Recommendable.

Quite funny, a little thrilling and over-the-top just like the previous one. I'm glad to see less screaming kids and more dino in this one, plus Pete Postlethwaite. Baby Rex for president!

Mostly thanks to Rupert Everett's comic rôle, this film is funny and overall enjoyable as a bundle of a fascinating and true historical tale, wrapped up with humor and good tempo. It's a trifle, and enjoyable as such. Many an Ooh, vicar! joke is found is here, but it's no Carry On-film. A funny reminder not to let other factors - e.g. gender - ruin intelligence.

I'd say this film is essential to 2012. The direction is completed by the script, and they're both genial; the kids are either brilliant actors from the get-go or are wonderfully directed. It's a kids' world in this film, and it's all the better for it. It made me question my own ideas, preconceptions and prejudice when gender is involved, and is eye-opening, funny and a bit sad. It's life, beautifully presented.

One of the best things about this film is how the kid is portrayed: as an individual, with a father who treats him as such, and they discuss sex. Apart from that, there are a few good gags (one being all the 1990s styling) but it is very 2D.

Good documentary on a seemingly wonderful cable channel in LA during the 1980s, where one man programmed and ran it for the most part. He seems akin to a lot of genius, demon-driven auteurs from Hollywood who wouldn't let money ruin him - but in the end ruined himself and another person through murder and suicide. A very inspirational tale containing some really interesting interview-snippets.

This was quite the trip. Self-indulgent, yes, seemingly holier-than-thou, yes, and all the better for it! A middle-aged man takes on a world that seems disparagingly stupid by killing people. This film wins so much by being straightforward and non-apologising, yet loses a little to an at-times preachy script. Really funny, this is thoughtful, well-written, acted and directed - go Bobcats!

Quite fair film, yet uneven. Sadness and loss are the most interesting bits in this film to me, who has never read Murakami; the tempo is too changing and the general feel of the film is uneven. I love the clothes, and the soundtrack is really interesting - go Johnny Greenwood. Still, some moody frames from the film stick with me in a good way.

Elegantly and intelligently edited, directed and acted film where Binoche plays a grown-up woman with intense personal problems who interviews young women who prostitute themselves, all for a magazine article. Some of the classical music was very in-your-face but the scene where The Knife's "Pass It On" was played, I liked. All in all it paints a portrait on some complexities of life that I haven't seen before.

Well, I chose to see it. The kind of film that's made without intelligence, luring people in to think it's a no-thinker. No, it's a no-brainer, and nobody should watch this. There are aeons of cutesy rom-coms with more mind to it's own than a pap smear out there, so hence, please avoid this Jenny From The Block crap.

A film of the times surrounding and of the harsh conditions for some IRA prisoners in 1981, where they hunger-strike. Vulgar brutality, filth and conviction permeates the film and there are a lot of strong scenes. I got a sense that politics also seeped through everything, and of course, these were political prisoners, even though Thatcher wouldn't recognise that; this is a great "The Iron Lady".

A non-plussed version of the Bourne-films, but with better fight-scenes. Gina Carano can't really act, and it's a shame to strew good actors - Fassbender, McGregor - around without using them better. Suspense? Nah.

Interesting documentary on people who illegally try to change the course of eco-politics (i.e. terrorists), first through democratically and legally OK protesting, but when the law works intrinsically in cahoots with the corporations, what then? Fires. In total, over 1200 attributed to the ELF (Earth Liberation Front). This is a good documentary focusing on some of the ones who were caught in the USA.

Strong cast and script in this theatre-to-film, where two couples start by sorting out a fight between their kids. What starts out as a simple thing turns complex and funny. Cast is tight and good, but I freaked at Foster's over-the-top character. The mobile phone scene was my fave.

Much like "Dogtooth", this film has it all by not trying to be anything. In the same vein as Antonioni's "L'Avventura", there's really no plot, no Explanation but instead life. It's a modern film that doesn't treat the viewer like an idiot. That said, it's eloquently, quietly presented with subjects that make it stand out and at times made me cringe a little. Like Max Dax once wrote: no beauty without danger.

Beautifully and tenderly presented, this two-part documentary on George Harrison's life shows his music, his spirit, love and friendship that seems to have affected most in his path. Delving beyond his superstardom into growing as a human being, laughing in the face of "being an adult", this is a very inspirational film to me.

A film with a cult-tinge that tricks the viewer into feeling that the film was made without any notion of strain or effort while treating you to intelligent conversation: finally! Miraculously directed, written, photographed and acted, I think the film points the finger at the individual, the cult and the non-cult family all the same. More, please.

Somebody once wrote "If I want to see a decent Thatcher biopic, I'll see 'Cloverfield'." Jokes aside, this film blunders and should have been edited. Yes, Streep's performance is very good, but the script and direction treats the viewer as a fool unable to think, and every metaphor is extremely over-simplified. Not interesting, and actually not very delving or critical.

Not really my cup of tea at all; too much action, too little thinking and often quite boring.

It was fair - exposing politics for what it can be - but the script was just so filled with dialogue in a bad way that I felt that Clooney should have a strong editor in there. Still, Hoffman is always good, and Gosling did his job. All in all: could have been a lot more powerful, like "All The President's Men".

This film contains a great script, some devoted acting and fine directing. Theron plays a seemingly depressed author who returns to her home-town where she's bound to retake her high-school love. Very human, funny, tragic and contains a fantastic 1990s-ish soundtrack.

Truth through laughter being my general idea of this film, it collates humor, idiocy, blind faith and sharp vision to present a neat package around a few English blokes who try to plan terrorist actions. It's one of the best films I've seen that tell you to use your own brain and think instead of just mindlessly gobble info from others - and it's extremely funny.

A very heartfelt documentary about street-violence among youths in Chicago, made in 2010. It's close to the bone, and the makers are a fly on the wall; all conversations, fights, confessions and mediations are displayed. It's got heart, pain, reality and hope.

A very sweet, funny, anti-bitter, weird and odd film with a slew of likeable, weird and human characters. The kid Ronnie is awesome, and I love how the so-called grown-ups deal with the kids - I hate it when some persons are treated like "special beings" because of their age - though not all the time in this film... It's a hoot, and if you're into "Office Space" and films like that, this should be right up your alley

Sweet, simple story of a late-teened girl growing up in a small Norwegian town, we follow her trials through sex, friendship, being outcast and doing what she wants. Made as if the director has seldom seen another film on teenagers, which I think is a good thing.

More solemn and less wooden than the Swedish version, this film wins through cinematography, good editing, Mara's acting, Reznor/Ross' soundtrack and Fincher's direction. The reality feels real, and I've lived in Stockholm my entire life. The story is exciting, a bit scary and the dialogue - which is what most sets this version apart from the Swedish - sounds as though human beings would actually use it.

Almodóvar's classical foci on human needs like sex, passion and selfishness are all involved in this slow, twisted drama. Interesting and clinically squeaky-clean, it's an intriguing show from start to finish.

While I've just finished "Fragments", a recent book containing Marilyn Monroe's personal reflections, poems and letters, this film just doesn't cut it. While Monroe's inner demons are somewhat displayed, who is to say this is - as the film claims - the truth? I can't help but ponder the level of distortion. Williams plays very well.

This film is from 1971. One must take that in before watching it. Also, I’m guessing this film shows more of a city than any other, in the same way; the cinematography is at times astounding, as are the choices by the characters. Talk about hard, illegal police-work! This is like a major precursor to “The Wire” where Hackman’s character – with the outrageous name Popeye Doyle – rules all. Nearly.
