The King’s Speach – FFFF

This is a warm and humorous film that goes to your heart. To me it appeals due to the true story and historical aspect. Colin Firth is very convincing in his portrayal of the stammering Duke of York in his becoming of King George VI. He makes you feel his struggle, his powerlessness and the embarrassment. This is one of those films that will win a good few Oscar’s. It is going to be interesting to see how many out of the 12 nominations!

The Next Three Days – FFF

This is Russell Crowe, not as the Gladiator, not as Robin Hood but still as that same old tormented hero fighting for the woman in his life. To be honest, he’s not half the hero as in gladiator but you have to admire his dedication and how quickly he turns in to a bomb making jail breaker just by watching youtube clips! This film could be so much better but since we are never completely sure of his wife’s innocence it makes it kind of hard to feel passionate about his mission and Crowe looks more like a fool than a hero.

Tron – Legasy 3D FF+

Watching the trailer, this film looked like a visual feast but the fact that it is a Disney production made me a bit worried. A feast it was. As far as music and visual experience goes this film is great, but that doesn’t make it a great film but just a too long music video. Call me old fashion but I really don’t care too much for 3D movies. Sometimes it can enhance the visual experience but most of the time it’s just over used and things flying right at you to make you duck gets quite boring after a while.  Michael Sheen shows up and gives us a great performance in one of the smaller roles. Other than that this film left me with no great impressions. Still, it was better than Skyline! :D
