La Haine
Shame that Mathieu Kassovitz has made nothing but crap since this but at least we have a great little film like La Haine. I think this film is over-hyped a bit but in now way is a bad movie. It was interesting seeing Vincent Cassel in an early role and the ending was definitely worth the watch.
3.5/5
Amores Perros
Spanish for "Life's a Bitch", Amores Perros is a film from three points of view that intersect a bit but all have to do in some fashion with dogs. The director also made Biutiful, Babel, and 21 Grams and while I didn't feel this was as heavy as those films it's still a very tough watch in some points as you're going through some very serious situations with these characters. Definitely worth the watch because it's one of the better debuts from a foreign director.
4/5
Skyfall
Oh my god what a gorgeous movie. Sam Mendes filmed a masterpiece of light and shadow and oh my god the color in this things. I'm going to show you a screenshot...
LOOK AT THAT SH*T. Gorgeous! And the whole movie is full of shots like that. As a person who has never explored the back catalog of Bond and never been really into the ones I've watched...all I can say is that this is a great action movie with fantastic acting from Dench and Bardem but lacking an interesting plot. Still, it was a great watch and may be a future blu-ray purchase due to it being one of the prettiest movies I've ever seen.
4/5
