My MEMENTO review

Thanks very much, I only discovered this site just over a week ago through trying to hunt down info on GWTDT as Fincher alongside Nolan are 2 of my favourite directors. I really think it's Nolan's masterpiece and hope once he's fulfilled what I can pretty much say will be the best comic book series ...

Do you think Heath's performance is the best of all time?

The best performance of all time might be a stretch but it is an utterly engrossing turn front the late Heath Ledger.

Favorite scene - Insomnia

I've seen both versions and maybe I'm biased being a Nolan fan but for me his version with the exception of the Hollywood ending for me at least is the better version although the original does have the better ending. Skargard is very good but Pacino & Williams are simply magnificent. My favourite 2...

My MEMENTO review

Probably a tie with Prestige for my favourite Nolan film and easily one of the greatest films of the last decade. rather than starting a new thread I thought I'd post my review on this magnificent film, this review was done before Dark Knight was released but for me including Inception this and Pres...

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (2011)

I like this site but their reviews are a little questionable at times, the review of Tinker being a good case of that, he just didn't get it, reminds me of the people who thought L.A Confidential was hard to follow, think that's hard try reading Elroy's complex novel. Alfredson & cast make an exempl...

Shame (2011)

Hi Guys new here, big Nolan fan looking forward to TDKR, I saw Shame at the Leeds Film Festival a few weeks back and here is my review, although Tinker Tailor takes my film of the year so far Shame would be a close second. Shame 2011 Having blazed the screen in 2008 with his hugely controversial déb...
