[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 5809621, member: 10479"] If I can 3D IMAX that, I probably will. As I posted in the "This Weekend @ The Boxoffice: 2012_Feb.06" thread - I saw a number of movies over the last week including Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Red Tails, The Grey, and Chronicle. I do not recommend Chronicle. I had hoped for a fresh take on the superhero genre and what I got was a poorly filmed, thinly plotted, predictable, short film of little worth. I'd give it a 4 or 5 for coming up with a seed of an idea poorly executed. Red Tails, as some have said, was a nice call back to war movies of a bygone age, chock full of cliche dialogue, with some fun dogfights that make it a good war movie. However, it is unlikely to be a very memorable film. If you like war movies and air combat of that era, definitely see it, but don't expect much else. The characters are likeable enough but the script could have been much better with a little effort though the actors make as much as they can from what they are given. I'd give this a 5 or a 6 at most. The Grey had some good moments but the tension doesn't come from anything very surprising. It is picturesque and the most is made of the environment used for the setting. The characters reveal much about themselves along the way while they fight for survival in constant crisis mode but the unpredictability of the antagonists comes off as a little too convenient to the moments in the story when they are utilized. I liked The Grey but even so I wouldn't rate it above a 7. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is simply a very good adaptation of John le Carre's classic British spy novel. I remember enjoying the mini-series with Alec Guiness but that was long enough ago that I didn't recall the plot, which made this viewing very enjoyable. The pacing and the acting were expertly applied to the material and Gary Oldman's subtle work should be awarded. I'd rate this film at a 7 or 8. [/QUOTE]
