Flesh and Blood (2002)
A great film - finally i've found it...
I've been trying to trace this film for soooo long, ever since seeing it on TV years ago. I was blown away. It was one of those nothing-on-TV-late-at-night-flicking-through-the-channels moments, when i came across this film after a few minutes of it starting. Thinking there was nothing else on, and not holding out much hope of a decent film, i watched it anyway and was hooked. Honestly, what a great film and what a masterful performance by Christopher Ecclestone. The delicate subject matter was dealt with extremely well, stripping away the usual prejudices surrounding mental disability, with a man coming to terms with the reality of his roots and his struggle to overcome his own prejudice. It is extremely well filmed, directed and acted - I would wholly recommend anyone to give this a go.
They (2002)
Truly TRULY awful...
I'm not going to go into a lengthy critique of the merits/failings of this film. Instead, I feel I can sum up my opinion of this movie in the very brief statement below:
In all the years, with all the hard-earned cash, and all the long tiresome journeys I've had to make just to get to the nearest cinema, I have never once walked out of a movie... until I saw 'They'. This is (with the possible exception of 'Dude, Where's My Car?') the worst film I have ever paid good money to see at the cinema. Rubbish plot, rubbish direction, seriously rubbish acting - in summary, you guessed it, RUBBISH!
'Nuff said.
