Brits raid town and take away the gold
The King’s Speech was rewarded as the best movie of the year for 2010 in the Academy’s awards on 27th February, 2011. As well as best film, Colin Firth took best actor, Tom Hooper for best director and best screenplay for the excellent writing from David Seidler.

This movie, Morning Glory, was so light, it would blow away in a light wind, but the chemistry between Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton was so good the light mood was quickly forgotten.

Both the stars for No Strings Attached go to Natalie Portman’s acting ability. It’s not that anyone else is poor, but she’s just so far ahead of the rest of the cast in this movie. Alas, it’s another of those comedies where you’ll be lucky to find a place to ‘chuckle’ let alone break into a full laugh. It’s not a drama although it may well get filed there at the rent a DVD shops.

All civilised citizens of the world must now understand the ridiculous South African white verses black and other societies that ravaged South Africa though its years of apartheid abuse. If you missed what happened, this movie from Shamim Sarif brings it home via the story set around a local cafe which mixes Indian culture and local black society. How dare those people even think about eating together let alone using the same post office queue as the local white folks? Yes, that really happened while we sat in our safe lives. So what’s it all about?

Shamim Sarif brings a story often unseen to the wider world audience for ‘I Can’t Think Straight.’ Lifted directly from her book of the same name, this tale tells of people who are in the wrong relationships and need to move on to the right one. I stumbled upon her blog and after seeing that she writes quite beautifully with a mastering of the English language, I thought I’d check out her movies.

18. February 2011
Natalie Portman leaves you in a trance, her performance is so majestic, outstanding and a worthy winner of the gold statue, due soon. Even if you’re not a fan of ballet, it won’t matter at all as this movie isn’t about ballet, Black Swan is about major character change from white swan to black swan.

Danny Boyle is a genius. Given a logline that goes: ‘man, by himself, gets trapped, cuts off arm to live’ extending that to a fast moving, poignant movie, is a challenge to say the least. Boyle exceeds as he puts himself into the frame for director of the year, if not the past decade. 127 hours is the result of one director’s dream, fulfilled.

15. February 2011
To the question of ‘How Do You Know?’ I answer simply, ‘By the end, I didn’t care to know’ referring to why this movie with such great stars just meanders along with no guts, character energy or level of particular interest.

10. February 2011
You don’t go to the movies to be disappointed, having paid your entrance fee, purchased your drinks and food; arranged your valuable time, collected your friends/family and warmed the world with your means of travel to the theatre. The trailer looked good and the cast list tells you it’s going to be worth watching. The Tourist, as a movie, never got there, right where you wanted it.

Once you hire a distributor to distribute your movie, they handle the money for you. They’ll send you your share after their fees and expenses have been removed first.
