It is very immature humour, with moments of smarts and greatness. I liked both Hill and Tatum, though especially the latter, and they gave the film a lift. I am going to watch Margin Call tomorrow morning. Thanks for the recommendation, Diana!Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-46843840795529341562012-03-14T23:05:26.513+11:002012-03-14T23:05:26.513+11:00You should definitely see Margin Call and I, perso...You should definitely see Margin Call and I, personally, kind of want to see 21 Jump Street, too, it looks good!

I was always going to see this, I just hoped it wasn't going to be complete shit. It sounds like it has some qualities. I still think Depp is a great actor, just been in so many bad franchise roles recently. Shame, because he was excellent in the 90's (Donnie Brasco, Dead Man, Fear and Loathing etc.)Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-49030991469144932582012-03-14T07:22:19.772+11:002012-03-14T07:22:19.772+11:00I have only seen Rosetta, which was good, but back...I have only seen Rosetta, which was good, but back when I watched it, I wondered why they won the Palme d'Or for the film. Their style takes a bit to get used to. L'enfant is very good, though. I like short and concise - and because of its Cannes success (again) I will endeavour to seek it out.

It has some good laughs in it and wonderful Richard Jenkins, so I'd say it's definetly not a waste of time and much better movie than all the Disney shit Depp was doing lately.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-33080995997931238992012-03-13T17:45:21.999+11:002012-03-13T17:45:21.999+11:00I've seen The Kid with a Bike a while ago.

Very short, very concise, nothing that should be trimmed away. There's a lesson to be learned for the next generation of film makers! There's misery and there's hope and a very, very good child actor.

I am going to try and see it, but it will be difficult. The Dardenne Bros. make great films so it could be worth the risk.
