March 2010

The big film of the month of March was "Crazy Heart". Sadly it was also a big disappointment. Only the performance of Jeff Bridges elevated this above made-for-TV status and the performance of Maggie Gyllenhaal almost negated Bridges...seriously, this was a stinker from her.

Two highlights of the month for me were "The Headless Woman" which was absolutely brilliant and "Kick-Ass" which was absolutely brilliant but in a totally different way! However, there is no doubt that the best film of the month and of the year so far was Warwick Thorntons "Samson and Delilah"...which I haven't been able to stop thinking, or talking, about since I saw it. It should win the Oscar for best picture next year...the fact that it won't says everything about the film industry and nothing about the film. GO AND SEE IT.
