I wasn't the biggest fan of Dirty Pretty Things so I'm a bit skeptical about Locke...

Ender's Game (2013)

Put this off for ages because it was my lady's favourite book as a teenager and she didn't want to be disappointed, but we were both quietly impressed with the result. The only complaint I really had was that it could've been half an hour longer... the book makes the training and especially the mind game seem much longer and more grueling, but it was a minor ******. It's definitely a kids movie, but it's kids story after all... they've done a good job.



Prisoners (2013)

Decent, but nothing special. Engaging and occasionally shockingly violent, but didn't grab me as much as anything calling itself a thriller should. Kept waiting for a better twist...

ben kingsleys face lol

I couldn't get past the first, what, 45 minutes of Ender's Game, I was just bored of the whole thing.
I'm normally a big sci-fi fan though, is there any point in giving it another shot? I really wanted to like it but just couldn't connect at all, it felt sorta cheesy and bland.

I guess being fans of the book helped... if you're not a kid and/or you didn't read the book when you were a kid then it's probably not worth making too much of an effort. There's better sci-fi.

Double post.

m8 Prisoners was so great. Like the silent shot of the trees when the kids get abducted, that shit's so tense ! Granted it's not Vertigo or Chinatown but it's got some of the greatest moments of last year's cinema. the camera work is astonishing and the writing is smart in its own way because it's more human than a standard thriller, emotions of the characters actually get in the way here and most of the time they are the biggest nuisance


Saw Enemy too. 40 mins in I was wondering if I was watching an hour and a half of pure emptiness then it all started to make sense and the tension of the film kicked in (not unlike Prisoners).

[+] Spoiler

The ending was a big wtf though, felt like the director was saying "here's a giant spider, do whatever you want with it, I'm too smart to explain that to you". What was with the spiders anyway ? Were they like the tyranny installing itself in everyday life like Adam was saying during his lectures ? Villeneuve was better at subtelty and hints when he mentioned the Syracuse problem in Incendies

[hubb]

Yeah a genuine thriller which is so rare. Hugh Jackman is amazingly intense in that film.

[AxeD]

Gyllenhaal wave out of the blue Giving both Prisoners and Enemy a go, loved Donnie Darko and Source Code.

[hubb]

he was good in 'end of watch' too
