LOVE HAPPENS
Watchable. A ridiculous title for a film about dealing with grief. I expected a romcom and ended up crying for 2 hours. But at least it felt catharctic after leaving the cinema.
CIRQUE DU FREAK: THE VAMPIRE ASSISTANT
Walked out. Awfully badly acted and with a ludicrous script, e.g. the main protagonist sees a huge arachnid in national colours and is delighted: "She's beautiful". And he's the least freaky character.
FANTASTIC MR. FOX
Walked out. It's that annoying animation where the characters look like dolls and here they also move in a quirky, twitchy way. It's a film noir about antropomorphic foxes in burglers' gang - it is as stupid as it sounds.
THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASUS
Walked out. Incoherent, mostly poorly acted, with every character speaking in a different accent, and full of freaks.
SAW VI
Watchable. Part I was a masterpiece, part II watchable, part III equalled part I, part IV was watchable for fans, part V was so bad that even I walked out, part VI is really good. It's slower than over-packed part II, IV and V. It retains the best of Saw scares. The murder motivation is clearly explained and better "justified" than ever. It's below excellent just because part VI is repetitive by definition.
In SAW VII next year it's going to be the young lad killing people. He's really young so may last a few sequels.
