The main things I took from this were: being impressed at how Timothy Spall was able to keep his facial expression looking exactly like a dog’s anus for the whole film, thinking that Diana’s chambermaids ushering her along a corridor looked like volunteer stewards at a CAMRA beer festival, and empathising with Diana’s feeling of…
Bit of intense war drama here: and definitely not a PR piece for the allies, with Jeremy Irons’s Chamberlain coming across as something of a tit. Some nice stuff about adolescent bonding overcoming contemporary politics and a few nice tense moments to pique the interest.
I really, really didn’t like this. And it wasn’t based on preconception because I’d never heard a thing about it. It was probably my curiousity about seeing Jon Favreau at work after having watched a load of his Star Wars material. If anything I think a lot less of him now – the story (written,…
Basically this was just watching Baywatch again because it was so gloriously ridiculous the first time – except this version had extra bits that weren’t considered good enough to be in the film for the first time around.

Quality bit of acting from Sandra Bullock in this one – you want to empathise with her, whilst at the same time being wholly unable to relate to her situation (unusual, as it is). Throw some personality quirks in as well as presumably some learned behaviours, as well as what turns out to be a…
