Knight and Day

If films were food, this would be a sherbet dibdab with slightly wet paper. Enough said.

Karate Kid

Well here's a turn up for the books. Maybe it was the sunshine or just the fat it's the weekend,... whatever the reason I left 'Karate Kid' having had a pretty good time. Yes, really. It helps to take your nine year old son, since this really is a kid's movie, even if it runs for an eye-watering two hours and twenty minutes. It's not going to win an Oscar and I won't be rushing to buy the dvd, but nevertheless, it managed to be pretty good entertainment from start to finish. The story travels along a pre-defined arc, so don't expect any surprises along the way,  but it's nicely acted by Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan and there's some gentle acknowledgements to the original. A popcorn movie, but better than average.

Why are the grown-up films all French?

Absolutely brilliant piece in The Observer today about the current revival in French cinema and the contrast with an uncertain British outlook.

Never Let Me Go

The bog news of the day isn't, in case you were wondering, the debut of 'Cats and Dogs 2', but rather the announcement that the London Film Festival is opening with 'Never Let Me Go', an adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's unsettling bestseller featuring Keira Knightley, Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield. I haven't read the book, but the trailer is FANTASTIC... oozing dark mystery and angst and right up my street. It's officially going to the top of my 'must see' list.....

Ooops

This is one of the best new ideas I've seen in a while... grabbing tweets around a film and giving a sense of what people are saying. Love it. fflick.com.
