This is the definition of cinematic.
Absolutely sublime. it is extraordinary in every sense. Top of the list has to be the cinematography which is just perfect. then there's the script, the pacing, the tone, the story an the performances.
Ahhh the performances - normally i'm against little kids being up for Oscars as i think it's all a little bit pathetic. However, Hallie Steinfeld deserves all the credit she is getting - a brilliant "gritty" performance and all this from her first feature, lets hope she doesnt turn into a drug addled slut like lindsay lohan and a load of other child stars.
Not gonna go on too much about how good it is. just go see it and wallow in its immenseness.

The Fighter
It's no Rocky, but still very good.
A lot has been talked about Christian Bale in this film, and he is very good - but the fact of the matter is that i still think he's a cock. Due to this and the fact that there is another much better supporting performance i'm going to say that Melissa Leo gives an absolutely storming performance as the mother.
The rest of the cast is magnificent too (even Bale) and it is a great story. The fight sequences are good enough, but i cannot help comparing it to Rocky. And it isn't as good. Maybe this is unfair of me to judge but hey, judging i am.
an ok film that suffers from too much hype.

Well this is just lovely. absolutely lovely.
Easily the best Disney film since Lion King. Its a film with a huge heart and is just beautiful to watch, the "lantern scene" being a particular highlight.
The refreshing thing about this film is that it is not trying to be an adult animation there are no in jokes that adults will get but kids wont, it is just a simple fun and friendly film.
The story is fairly straightforward that i wont even bother going into it. So al thats left to say is that once more please go and see this film and give yourself a little bit of joy.
Wonderful.
