THE NIGHT OF CINEMA
This time I saw:
FLIGHT
Watchable. Too much alcoholism and too little suspense. Actually the only nerve-racking scene is about whether he'll grab the bottle or not. The crash scene has some impact. For a moment you feel as if you've been on the plane yourself. Some hospital jokes are really funny, e.g. a patient lighting up: "My cancer might get cancer from it."
SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK
Watchable. I didn't find it amusing. The final "She doesn't love you now." is hardly revelatory - first she betrays her husband, then gets a restraining order against him. Lively characters and good acting make it bearable. And the whole thing puts you at ease of the feeling of superiority of being normal.
I had persuaded my movie companion to see "The Host" at the same time. So, how did you find it?
DJANGO UNCHAINED
Recommended. In 2009 Tarantino made the incomparable "Inglourious Basterds". Well, since then his form has gone up. He stays true to his gangster movie roots, adds the contrived plot (with a good German this time) and loads of sarcasm. While many bits are just hilarious any example of the humour would be a spoiler.
