One of the best spoof musicals ever and it comes from Finland. Leningrad Cowboys Go America is a great take on the American Dream with plenty of amusing moments and a wonderful style.
Movies
13 Assassins
A visual and action packed triumph that will delight those who get aroused by swords and Samurais. It’s well paced and entertaining however some people (me) may just find the epic final battle scene a little repetitious and boring.
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
Don’t be put off by the synopsis. A film about perfume and sniffing really can be a dark, intriguing thriller.
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol
A likeable, old fashioned blockbuster that puts the Mission: Impossible franchise and Tom Cruise back on track. Not a classic but a fun watch nonetheless.
Lawrence of Arabia
David Lean’s based-on-a-true-story epic oozes star power and quality on a scale rarely seen before or since.
We Need to Talk About Kevin
A clever, touching and, at times, irreverently funny tale of a mother and a psychopathic son told with huge amounts of subtlety and depth.
