Haywire

Did not expect to like it. Liked it!

The Artist

That man. That dog. Oh my god.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Rating: 9

I'm irrationally bonkers for Gary Oldman. So, though the plot made no sense to me whatsoever, I adored it. Yeah, Gary played the Alec Guinness role and killed it. And Colin Firth is in it. And John Hurt. And Tom Hardy. And the director is the man who directed the original Let The Right One In. Fuck you, The Help! I'm rooting for Tinker Tailor!

I wish I'd seen it in 3D. I almost never think that.

The Descendants

Whatever.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Rooney Mara! Right?

A Dangerous Method

Rating: 8

Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensen! OK the movie has a weird way of making sexual perversion - or the 1930s version of it - kind of boring. There's a pre-WWII metaphor lurking beneath the surface here which is a shameful waste of some naughty good ingredients.
