Hereafter (2010)
Torn.
I hated the 'life after death' theme of this film, but I loved the interconnecting stories.
So I'm not sure whether I liked or didn't like this film - for now it's a shaky 7/10.
A bit of an eclectic film - grey and depressing London (both London itself and the characters are depressing), and the special effects in a 'disaster movie style' tsunami scene seem at odds with each other.
The characters are a dreary and dismal bunch - the only one I wanted to see more of on screen, suddenly disappears from the film after a sudden and emotionally confronting scene.
It's an interesting and somewhat clever story that forces me into begrudgingly liking it.
This Is 40 (2012)
Four stars is more than it deserves
This is 40 (2012) gets another half star purely because of who I believe to be two of Hollywood's most underrated actors - Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann.
Clearly a film with a script that would have filmed four or five hours - cutting down in the editing room has left this film with multiple sub-stories between other characters that haven't been able to be full explored - yet the film still feels it's far longer than it should be.
There is too much squished into this film, yet I still found it boring.
The colourful language was the most entertaining part of this film by far.
