I got carried away yesterday and in between typing up an assignment I managed to fit in 4 films!

Ex Machina

A quiet and brooding and somewhat intense feature by writer/director Alex Garland set in a remote cabin and featuring a cast of only 4 people. Although it's the most tech cabin in the woods you've ever seen! It managed to build up suspense and tension very well even though nothing really happens. Then it's the finale which makes you ask questions of yourself.

Annie

No, not the remake... Don't know why but I thought I'd watch this for the zillionth time while typing. Ended up spending more time watching the TV screen than the laptop screen so perhaps it wasn't a great idea haha ♫♪Easy Street...

Stephen King's IT

Tim Curry again, although not intentionally. Technically I watched this over two days, I stuck part 1 on before I went to bed on Saturday and watched the flipside of the disc yesterday afternoon. Not watched this since it came out, I think it was in the video shop back in 1991 and I was 14... It's not as good as I remember it. The main problem with IT is the kids grow up, everything is far more interesting in the first half. I've not read the book but I do have it loaded onto my kindle. All the amazon/imdb reviews are saying the book is awesome even if the filmed version is not.

Marnie

Going through the Hitchcock Universal Box Set and watching the ones I've never seen before, and wow. Marnie is a very damaged woman who literally sees red! Some of the plot is questionable and most of this is down to Sean Connery's character of Mark who seems to think that the best way to solve an issue with a woman freaking out is to kiss her, or later on, force her to perform wifely duties! Aside from the dubious sex overtones this was a rollercoaster ride of a thriller.
