Guesthouse The Eden Rose, Bruges

in bruges

Advantages: wonderful acting, good story and great scene variation, nice town also
Disadvantages: the ending was predictable based on characterisation

in bruges cast director - martin Mcdonagh ken - brendan gleeson ray ? colin farrell rhloe - clemence poesy jimmy jordan prentice harry ralph fiennes this film was martin mcdonagh's first film, though he had previously made a short film called ?six shooter's? a few years earlier. i remember seeing six shooters on film four, and it would not surprise me to see this film one day on the same channel. the structures of these two films are similar, the plots are known fairly quickly and the acting is really good. using trains and train platform scenes also took place in both films. the one thing i question is the originality of in bruges as crime and shooting films are nothing new. set in bruges, a picturesque medieval town in Belgium. during the film we get to see the canals, the views ...

Eden Lake

Advantages: Powerful horror, genuinely scary
Disadvantages: Sickening to watch

It took me at least a week to come to a semi conclusion of how I felt about Eden Lake; it took me a few days at least to get over the initial shock and emotion felt by watching it. And I have to say that the film I am about to review is like nothing I have seen before. Eden Lake, is an English film directed by a man called James Watkins, I had never heard of the film nor the director and I was not that enthusiastic about watching it, but after a day moping about alone I wanted something scary to watch and it was in the horror section of my local movie shop at a price of £4 so I thought I would give it a watch. Sometimes I just crave something to give me a bit of a scare. Horror films which are genuinely scary are few and far between and it is almost unheard of to find one which gives you more than a few jumps and actually offers ...

Where the bloody hell is Bruges?

Advantages: An ok film, makes you think
Disadvantages: A bit slow

Where the bloody hell is Bruges? In Bruges is a 2008 comedy staring Colin Farrell (phrowaaaa) and Brendan Gleeson. When I read it was a comedy I was interested to see it because I think Colin Farrell is quite funny anyway so I thought it would be quite good,. I didn?t know much about the plot but as it also got an award I had high hopes. Well, it?s probably best described as a dark comedy. It sort of reminded me of a Lock, Stock type funny film with the same type of London gangster laughs and get-ups. The main themes running through the movie are that are guilt, morality and redemption and it?s done well. In my opinion you do get to see some real emotion from the main stars and that they are really thinking about where they find themselves in their life. I didn?t love this movie though because I thought it was quite slow and not ...
