The Dark Knight. Not my genre and this proved why. The Joker? Can’t see the performance myself. I swear there was someone other than Bale in the Batman costume. I can understand that Batman is meant to have a darker side but the voice as an indicator was pretty poor. Not a good film.

Hancock. Poor on every level.

Valley of Elah (DVD). Formula ‘by the numbers’ film. Why on earth it got the plaudits is amazing.

Taxi (DVD). Great fun, really enjoyed it. (French, english subs)

Want to see a film? elephant is the one to watch.

(Back to TDK. Sean Connery is an irritant in films for me. He is tall and Shcottish [sic] in everything. His performance in Red October is the same as the one in Untouchables, First Knight, The Rock. He is an actor that for me immediately pops any bubble of escapism. It’s the same for Michael Caine. It’s not a butler, it’s not a reflection of Wayne’s wealth, it is not anything else. It’s just Michael Caine. Bubble? Pop!)
