Movie reviews

NIGHT FILM MARATHON - THE OSCAR NIGHT

LINCOLN

Watchable. Involving, at times funny (e.g. faces the Congressmen make) political intrigues which won't be very comprehensible unless you're proficient in American history.

At least it became clear why Michele Obama presented the Best Picture Award. After all it was "Lincoln" that was expected to win, not "Argo".

ARGO

Watchable. Really funny (e.g. "You need somebody who's a somebody to put their name on it. Somebody respectable. With credits. Who you can trust with classified information. Who will produce a fake movie. For free.") and involving. The ending suspense is a bit over the top, holding up the protagonists in a different way every minute is plain Hollywood cheese.


AMOUR


Slept through. What a bore. Another viewer's loud snoring woke me towards the end.

THE LIFE OF PI 3D

Watchable. Lovely, cutesy animal tale with no depth and completely flat - don't even bother to take the 3D glasses.
