The Green Hornet, a review by dfmorgan

The Green Hornet

Year: 2011
Director: Michel Gondry
Cast: Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Cameron Diaz
OverviewWatched: 30th Apr. 2011
My Thoughts: I know nothing about the mythology of The Green Hornet so cannot compare this film to that. However I did get cheesed off with Seth Rogen's whiny rich brat Britt Reid but found Jay Chou's Kato fun and enjoyed Cameron Diaz as Lenore. Overall the action sequences were good but the comedy provided by Seth Rogen grated.

My Rating: A ho-hum film for a 2

The Life of David Gale, a review by Rich

The Life of David Gale





Having seen this in the cinema on release, it was a first viewing on DVD. It lost nothing for being on a smaller screen, and is a worthwhile addition to everyones collection.
The majority of main cast provide powerful performances, Spacey is at his absolute best and is at times warm and at others menacing, making you guess right through the film about his guilt or innocence. Winslet was weaker in this role, I wasn't totally convinced by her portrayal as a hard nosed investigative journalist.
The ending is predictable but nonetheless fitting, and it is one of those films that make you think long after the credits roll. The death penalty is always going to be subjective, but the question whether an innocent could be convicted and killed, whether by injustice or design, is admirably told by means of this thriller drama.

I have watched the first two season about eight years ago and I enjoyed it. I have further two seasons in my collection, but for some reason I never came around watching it.
I think the writing and the performances by the two leads is great, considering they often have to carry almost all scenes by themselves.
