Persepolis 7.5/10

A really good B&W cartoon dealing with a young girl growing up in Iran during the revolution.

Burn After Reading 6/10

Really average for the Coen's, it's only the dark humour (check out the chair), a few laughs ("Come back when it all...er makes sense") and some solid performances that save it. As the Kermode would say 'Stuff happens' but that doesn't make it a good film. An average 6/10

Gomorrah 6/10

Just saw Gomorrah, really overated IMHO, even though it's received some great reviews....the documentary style doesn't pull you in, however 'hard-hitting' the subject matter I couldn't give a monkey's about any of characters, simply because not one of them seemed to have any character whatsoever, they were just walking plot devices. Once again it's another case of a film with at least one reel to many. It's a shame as the subject could make an interesting film, it's just that Gomorrah isn't it 6/10

Unknown White Male 9/10

The best documentary I've ever seen, certainly the most thought provoking (highly recommended):





The Fugue State:

sudden, unexpected travel away from home or one's customary place of work, with inability to recall one's past,
confusion about personal identity, or the assumption of a new identity, or
significant distress or impairment.
