Award season is in full swing and there is plenty of movies to catch up on before the Oscars in March. So me and my beloved decided to have a bit of the film fest this weekend.
I had to travel to a cinema in Solihull to see the first film as it was on playing at the Odeon in Coventry, which is not a nice cinema.
127 hours
A brilliant film. Extremely well shot for what is pretty much a one man show. Danny Boyle stuns once again. James Franco was amazing, I think he is a unappreciated talent.

On Sunday we decided to have a lazy day and watched two movies back to back and ate about two backs of wine gums:
True Grit
A good old fashioned western from Coen brothers. A well told tale and a fantastic performance from Hailee Steinfeld.

The Tourist
Not the usual high fayre drama you expect to see from Jolie and Depp. But this is a fun movie all the same. It does have a fun twist and keeps you entertained throughout.

Still a lot of movies to see. Up next is Black Swan or The Fighter or Kings Speech or Blue Valentine. I can't decide, I will fill you in next week.
