MARLEY AND ME

Watchable. A lovely family-oriented story but nothing new to anyone who has ever had a dog.

FLASH OF GENIUS

Watchable. While courtroom dramas are normally interesting to watch, this one is about windshield wipers which makes for a boring beginning.

BRONSON

Walked out. Several scenes are absolutely disgusting, like in "Hunger" and this film doesn't even have any deeper sense.

HUSH

Watchable. The film had been sold to 25 territories before its premiere at last year's Raindance Film Festival. It must be down to the incredible twists and turns of action that keep you on the edge of your seat (and you really don't see them coming) as other than that it was filmed amateurishly.

In the meantime my freebie streak has reached its apogeum. Crussh is giving away free juice when you recycle "the london paper" this week. I disguised a "Metro" as "the london paper" to get an extra one at another store.

HORTON HEARS A WHO

Walked out. The story goes nowhere and elephants share the habitat with kangaroos.

FLAMMEN OG CITRONEN (FLAME AND CITRON)

Walked out. Philosophical and full of ugly men.

It was funny to recognise some of the viewers from another film the day before. They were even sitting at the same places! Did they stay overnight??

AMERICAN TEEN

Walked out. A typical American documentary that doesn't explain why it's been made. What is it with American film-making that puts commentaries in features but not docs? The presented teenagers aren't any different than anywhere else in the world. You see them every day. No need to pay for a cinema ticket.

SURVEILLANCE

Recommended. It's like "Natural Born Killers" but more perverse and with amazing twists of action.

THE GREAT ESCAPE

Walked out. This classic doesn't pass the test of time. Fake German, fake war prison full of Nazis with stiff upper lips and prisoners with styled hair wearing perfectly ironed clothes. Beside that nothing really happens.

WATCHMEN

Watchable. Visually irresistable, with brilliant one-of-a-kind characters including a superhero rapist. Outstanding attention to detail, e.g. TV news from all over the world include a screen with news in Polish. Great soundtrack including Nena's "99 Flugballons" that I would never expect to hear in an American movie. Unfortunately it's overlong - the film could do without the first half an hour. The heroes also chatter too much and when they fight it usually means fist brawls. Still, the infrequent superhero action is fantastic. Unfortunately one of the super women wears a ridiculous black and yellow costume making her look like a bee.

THE YOUNG VICTORIA

Watchable. Really good although short on Englishness and not exactly comprehensible unless you're familiar with the history of Britain. Still, German Prince Albert challenging the ways the palaces are run is brilliant. I also hear the same explanation whenever I point out something not working - "but it things have always been done this way".

THE UNBORN

Watchable. The storyline isn't perfectly consistent but it it quite scary. On return home I looked in a mirror to make sure my both irises were still the same colour.

FRANKLYN

Walked out. I couldn't make out what it was about in the first 40 minutes so I couldn't possibly care what was going to happen next.

THE INTERNATIONAL

Watchable. Action scenes have nice little twists but the action is constantly interrupted with talking. They just meet and drone on and on in between the shoot-outs.

NEW IN TOWN

Watchable. I always find Renee Zellwegger irresistably endearing so I watched through this silly, stereotypical, moralistic tale that isn't even funny.

Segregating my cosmetics yesterday I thought about my addictions again - normally addictions cost you money while I'm addicted to saving.
