Mini reviews of movies rented in the past 7 days:

The Woodsman - peedo gets out of jail and tries not to fiddle with little girls. Is it in Kevin Bacons contract that he must appear in the shower in every film he's in? (see also Hollow Man and Wild Things). Mos Def and Eve were good. For fellow perverts everywhere, here's Kevin in the shower in Wild Things.

Lemony Snicket - A Tim Burton film that he never worked on. Like Big Fish this film looks great in that nightmare/fairytale way. Director Brad Silberling made the brilliant Casper but this isn't as good.

Just Married - He looks cute in this film but Brittany Murphy is the poor mans Lindsey Lohan. Nice use of European locations. Not enough nudity for my liking. Ashton should get a Kevin Bacon type contract.

View From The Top - Who doesn't love a movie about airline cabin crew? In this day and age it was refreshing to see a story about someone whose dreams were simply to say "chicken or fish?" while five miles above the earth. You can't go wrong with Mark Ruffalo, Christina Applegate and Mike Myers.

Creep - Scary horror set on the London Underground. Recommended by DG a few months and enjoyed by us last night. The 'creep' was played by Ian Curtis (Sean Harris) from the brilliant 24 Hour Party People. Lots of blood and claustrophobia and a cute dog.

Uptown Girls - We had a Brittany Murphy double bill last weekend. This one made me cry at the end. Also starred 11 going on 40, Dakota Fanning.

Closer - This one is still sitting beside the TV awaiting viewing (though I'm sure we'll like it as Padme plays a stripper in it).
UPDATE!
Closer has now been watched. What a self-centred heartless bunch of breeders! Not a single redeeming feature among the four main characters. They were all such utter shits that they made uber-promiscuous shallow homo's look like Mother Theresa. As a meditation on the power of love it will cure anyone of their 'need' to spend the rest of their lives with someone. Clive Owen was sexy though.
