Contagion (2011)
Absolute rubbish
Not sure how, or why, I sat through nearly two hours of this film. Jude Law is an awful actor, but his Australian accent reminded me of Brad Pitt in Seven Years to Tibet - it really was that bad! The plot was so shallow and there was no suspense, drama or interest at a ll. Some of the negative reviews here are absolutely spot on so I won't re-invent the wheel. Yet another American centric movie on a par with Independence Day and all the other disaster films where only the Americans can save the day. Rubbish
Don't watch it unless you really have nothing else to do. Watching paint dry is infinitely more interesting. And more suspenseful
TT3D: Closer to the Edge (2011)
Almost unbelievable
The first film that has affected me enough to bother writing a review. Excellent throughout, tense, terrifying, well filmed and good narration. Much more than just another bike documentary.
Few weak spots - narration, although technically good, was in a weak American tone, not ideally suited to something as British as the Isle of Man. Some of the solo footage of Guy riding was a bit weak. He was obviously not going fast, but made to appear so. The on boards were incredible. The atmosphere incredible. The passion incredible.
Never has a cinema completely full of men (99%) been so quiet for so long. The film finished to a stunned silence.
Excellent
