I see a film and I write a few words about it. Sometimes I add a picture.

61. Silver Linings Playbook
Silver Linings Playbook is not so much about mental illness and more about the two protagonists finding each other. It's a straight up rom-com for me and I have to say that Jennifer Lawrence is staggeringly good in it!!!
Not only does she look taller than I thought (or is Bradley Cooper a short arse?) she is sexy, vulnerable, enigmatic, smart and spunky as the 'life has dealt me a pretty shitty hand'- Tiffany.
It's a really top notch cast with all the leads getting their acting glands a thorough work out. De Niro is utterly brilliant as the grouchy sport obsessed dad (Pat Snr.) and Cooper is also great as the lead (Pat Jnr.). Not quite Oscar worthy for me but their something about Cooper that is always appealling (I thinks it's his accent?) and I always enjoy his presence and performance.
Well, apart from in THIS anyway.
39. The Bourne Ultimatium
The Bourne Ultimatum kicks ass! It's a blazing chase from start to finish, punctuated with confusing fight scenes that Paul Greengrass will seemingly never get right (I'd like to see what's actually happening rather than a load of confusing steady cam mess).
Although the film doesn't overly suffer from this as the whole cast are rip roaring evil or heroic in equal measure. A top spy romp and certainly better than any of the Bonds with Crap Bond.
