I have a copy of this somewhere but have never gotten round to watching it (pretty common with me really).

Is it worth hunting down?

Yes, yes it is. As I said easily the best film I've watched this year.

The Air I Breathe

An old Chinese notion said that human emotion bubbles down to happiness, pleasure, sorrow and love. The four emotions are four main characters, Whitaker, Brendon Frasier, Sarah Michelle Geller and Kevin Bacon and through them we get four corresponding stories. With such a strong cast, along with e.g. Andy Garcia it's done pretty well.

I've always had a soft spot for films that have a number of stories which intertwine and come together at the end. Therefore I'm a little bit biased, but it's far better than what a lot of reviewers thought made it out to be, and I'm not sure why there was little love for this.

I missed this when it first came out but it's worth catching if given the opportunity.

7/10

Chaos

A standard Statham-esque film full of cheesey one-liners, explosions and plenty of 'ard graftin comon lads wheyyy shoota son' banter. It's a fairly well constructed thriller, well suited to its target audience and a perfect no-brainer accompaniment to... let's say... curry.

5.5/10

Gone Baby, Gone - 8.5/10

Starring Casey Affleck who is a MUCH better actor than his brother, this is a thriller about a 3 year old girl who disappears from her home in Boston. Morgan Freeman & Ed Harris also make an appearance. I really enjoyed this movie, it isnt the normal 'run of the mill' story but by saying any more about the structure, I'll give too much away. So suffice to say, it's very good, despite the fact that in some bits, the accents got a bit too thick & strong for me to understand & I had to rewind it!

Not mine.... certainly not like that either

It's only 1hr 35min, but very quickly gets you on the edge of your seat, had me going through all the emotions possible, ending with a few tears.

Definitely recommend it.

9/10

Is it any good?

I saw Frozen recently and ended up laughing when the wolves ate the two lads. Couldn't get into the whole emotional side of it at all.
