The Savages (2007)

Some great acting, but a subject matter more for grown-ups that hopefully I won't relate to for a few years yet..

Janck 3 stars


What could have been an altogether depressing movie, somehow felt poignant and necessary. Nobody's perfect.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

Indy once again comes up against the Nazis in this lighter and altogether more fun sequel, when compared with the previous outing. Connery provides the wisecracks, whilst Ford sticks to cracking the whip.

4.5 star

Stardust (2007)

It's magic.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

Probably the weakest of the original trilogy. Indy and Mr Round aside, this prequel lacks any interesting or likable characters, unlike Raiders or Last Crusade, and not much of a plot. Having said that this is still causal racism and action adventure of the highest order, with Ford never looking better as Indiana Jones.

Clerks. (1994)

Cult movie which is probably best appreciated by American college kids, rather than twenty-something professionals (14 years too late), although still made me smile.

3 stars

Charlie Wilson's War (2007)

Particularly enjoyable performances, from Tom Hanks as Charles Wilson and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Gust Avrakotos, in this sharp drama about once upon a time America and the Mujahideen played nice.
