    Django Unchained 8/10


    Fantastic in parts, although I felt it lacked the tension that made Inglorious Basterds so brilliant. Waltz was great, as expected, but I thought Jamie Foxx lacked presence. The ending seemed to descend into a hollywood style pay-off when I felt the rest of the story at hinted at something grander. The send-up of the KKK was fantastic however, and the first half of the film where it's just Waltz and Foxx is just great, and stunningly shot. The mandingo fighting element of the story IMO pushed its luck in terms of plausibility.

    The Hobbit - 7/10

     

    The pacing of the film is weird and the HFR takes a lot of getting used to. I felt that the CGI was impressive in parts but often the seams were clear and the lighting was a bit weird.

    Some amazing action scenes were cancelled out by some absolutely dreadful bits. Many of the dwarfs remained underdeveloped (in character, not stature!) and I wasn't convinced by Martin Freedman as Bilbo. However it's still a good film although flawed, and it does stay pretty true to the book.

    Also there are people saying they felt it was too long. I disagree, the length was fine (just short of 3hrs has become acceptable for an epic film IMO) but it was the pacing that was weird. A slow beginning and some pointless scenes... followed by a pretty rushed ending and a lack of tension at parts.

    The Gollum bit, as others have said, was absolutely fantastic.

    Watching the new season of peep show at the moment, amazing stuff.

     

    In the latest episode one of the characters said Venetian Snares was like a sony smart phone and Aphex Twin was the Iphone (something like that). Another character was giving away a box with ballet shoes, a squarepusher cd and speed. IDM heavy episode.

    Is this from the 8th season? just finished the 7th season. tis good, but miss the old episodes a bit. Dobby annoys the hell out of me and what's up with super hans going all straight?

    Yeah it is.

     

    Yeah Dobby is well annoying but this series has been great so far.
