Last night I managed to watch I Spit On Your Grave (2010) Now, it was supposed to be the unrated edition, coming in at 1:48.15. Now I am sure that the UK DVD/Blu release runs at something like 1:43.00 .... but I am not really sure if it was uncut or not. The reason I say this is because I found the violence .. well kinda tepid. I have seen worse, much worse in other movies, so maybe it was just the title and the notoriety of the original which had the BBFC up in arms once again. If someone could tell me if indeed I DID see the unrated version. Anyway, the film. I thought it was quite well made (certainly compared to the original!). The steely washed out look gave it an overall gritty feel. The acting was rather good ... except for the actress playing Jennifer. I found her completely devoid of any depth, and feel rather ashamed to say it, but felt very little sympathy for her character. Rape victims in movies .. Jodie Foster's character in The Accused for example OR in the original ISOYG, go through what appears to be a massive metamophasis before getting their lives together. We had none of this in the 2010 remake of ISOYG! I feel there wasn't enough exposure of her after the attacks coming to terms with things. Maybe this was more the fault of the director rather than the actress, but the movie was rather missing something.

Over the last couple of days I've watched Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, A Serious Man and The Hudsucker Proxy. All of them were as excellent as I remember them being. I think Hudsucker and A Serious Man are overlooked when it comes to The Cohen Brothers work. They're two of my very favourites. |

Watched Eaten Alive last night. This film really is nasty. But only due to it being rubbish, in my opinion |

I've just returned from seeing True Grit at the cinema and it was very good, certainly not the best of the Best Picture contenders, but another fine Western by the Coen brothers with incredible cinematography by Roger Deakins.

That was quite a prophetic post as an hour or so after praising Roger Deakins' work, he picked up the BAFTA for Best cinematography!

Last night I watched Shaun of the Dead on BD. It looked fantastic by the way, great transfer! I watched it with the Zomb-O-Meter trivia track and it was a real treat for the film geek within me. I bought Going The Distance for Kelly's Valentines present so we watched that last night at about half 1 in the morning. This is a really really good romantic comedy, most probably the best one to be honest because it's genuinely hilarious in places rather than just a film with a few giggles like most romcoms.
