Leighton’s Film Reviews

21 Films have been rated or reviewed by Leighton.

Shame (2011): This is a boring film. I wouldn\'t be able to see it twice. rn
Breakfast Club, The (1985): Classic – more than just a comedy.
Hunter, The (2011): Well acted, looks good. But plot was thin and occasionally unconvincing.
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007): Exceptational acting and direction. The downward spiral of the unlikeable characters makes difficult viewing.
Broken Embraces (2009)
Kids Are All Right, The (2010): DVD ~~$20~~ $15
In America (2002)
My Summer of Love (2004): Poster (G) $9.95
Dead Man's Shoes (2004)
Submarine (2010)
Four Lions (2010)
Grizzly Man (2005)
Hanna (2011)
King's Speech, The (2010)
La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet (2009): Much lacking the embellishment of narrative and exposistion. I guess random footage including some bloke doing a bit of plastering creates the feeling of an insiders view but even my ballet fan partner couldn\'t manage 2 hours and 40 mins.
Ricky (2009): Bum
Unmade Beds (2009): DVD ~~$29.95~~ $19.95
Gainsbourg (2010): – I wish I was cool as Serge
Casshern (2004): The film was a messy mixture of CGI, news reel footage and stop frame animation. I guess a film can be super slick with a bad plot or vice–versa and be acceptable, but Casshern is neither.
Winter's Bone (2010)
Black Swan (2010)
