Silver Linings Playbook
So it's up for a million awards including our own Jackie Weaver up for an award or two. Bradley Cooper and the chick from the Hunger Games are also great. As is the rest of the supporting cast including De Niro.
Silver Linings Playbook is a rather long movie (which with trailers makes it longer) but a good little drama with a lot of heart including a great little dance sequence which nearly blew my mind.
Silver Linings Playbook could take out heaps of awards as it's an honest look at mental illness which really does need to be in the awareness of the general public.
I enjoyed this film and if you have a spare two hours this weekend for a well acted and sweet film, this one could be for you. 3.5 Silver Stars.
Tarinto really turned the violence up to 11 and some of the scenes are just crazy. Leo was superb as well even though he is only in a small portion of this extreme film.
Jamie Foxx does this so well and not since Uma Thurman has revenge been seeked in such an extreme and relentless manner.
Jamie kicks ass and makes this film a mighty Unchained affair earning a Django Django inspired 4 stars.
Safe Haven
Valentines Day romantic film releases are fun and this has some little twists plus a cool Aussie dude to throw into the mix.
I had some time to kill and this was the only film on at my favourite 10am slot and I was pleasantly surprised by this one.
It was a little long for your rom com type film but still a lot of fun. It was predictable and slow to start with but once it built on it's random intro it really got going.
Safe Haven is one if you've seen everything else and feel like an easy to watch film where you leave check your brain at the cinema door. Safe Haven rates a safe 2.75 stars.
