Title=Munich
Score=9
Summary=Strong and at times quite brutal, this is a tough and harrowing movie to watch, but ultimately very satisfying. There are a few twee Spielberg moments, and a slight feeling of being a little lost towards the end of the movie, but overall it’s a superb piece of work. Visually it gives the impression of the time, with costume and filming work shining, then there’s the excellent writing and great performances from some of the leads. Well worth watching, but again, not an easy film to watch.
Title=Walk the Line
Score=10
Summary=There’s nothing but praise for this movie, the actors give excellent performances individually and together showing great chemistry, and strongly backed by a very good cast. Then there’s the superb writing and that very satisfying circular story, filled with superbly visualised shots. The music is superb and gives such weight to that opening sequence. This is a stunningly good film, if you weren’t a Cash fan before, watch out.
