nice one
I watched a couple of dvds last night with my flatmates.
Little Miss Sunshine, one of the best, most subtle comedies I've seen for a long time. So many opportunities to slapstick up the plot were refused, it was excellent. Beautifully paced, well-acted and starring one of my favourite actresses in Toni Collette.
An excellent film 9/10
I watched Open Water immediately afterwards and thought it was a perfect representation of wasted potential. I'm always interested by films that are predominately a single scene and had meant to watch this one since I heard about it at first.
With the exception of some wooden acting, and a few horrendously clunky lines. This was a very good film indeed. Well shot, well paced and the concept was terrifying. An excellent study into paranoia, false bravado, and desperation.
With slight improvement to the script and two more subtle actors - this could have been a classic. As it was, it was very reasonable indeed. 7/10
