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)
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): DVD $25
Black Swan (2010)
