While You Were Sleeping (1995)
Wow
Absolutely loved this movie. Have always been a fan of Sandra Bullock and went out and bought this film with relatively low expectations.
I was watching it thinking, "this is the best fun i've had watching a movie in a long long time". All throughout I could not wipe the giant grin on my face, I found it very very funny at points and as I say again, one of the best feel good films i've seen in a long long time. Very well acted by all that were involved, especially Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman. At the ending of the film i almost shed a tear with happiness. I would recommend this film to anyone who is feeling down in the dumps as it is a perfect pick me up and can be watched over and over and over again.
American Beauty (1999)
A true beauty of a film
There is almost nothing that can be faulted in American Beauty. The score and cinematography are among the best in recent times and the acting was completely flawless by all involved. Kevin Spacey gives a complete gem of a performance as Lester Burnham with a lovely quirky performance by Annette Benning as the female lead. The screen writing is phenomenal and really raises the question of "who the hell comes up with this stuff". Pure cinematic gold and something for all aspiring film makers to look up to. It transforms it's self from hilariously funny to darkly serious and back to hilarity again much more smoothly than i thought physically possible. Congratulations to Sam Mendes on a stunning debut.
Duplicity (2009)
Almost too clever
A good film with good acting performances but all too clever to really be enjoyed. I was keeping up with the film right up until the whole "you don't remember me do you" sequence happened again.I would commend this film on the acting and the twists and to show once again clive owen and julia roberts brilliant on screen chemistry.I personally didn't particularly understand the great need for a pharmaceutical company to have spies. It's a bit chilling to think of boots spying on rival companies.a deserved golden globe nomination for julia roberts and a good performance by both clive owen and tom wilkinson with a possible Oscar nomination for julia roberts in the wings. overall i think it was a good film with good acting if not a little too complex.
