Zebra Crossing (2008)
take the best bits of classic menu's and add a light garnish
zebra crossing is simply an amazing film, the grit of harry brown with the sleek style of lock stock, slightly typical British gangster plot but brings the top traits of all the greats together in perfect unison. you'll be hooked from start to finish and that's another joy, it's short and snappy but manages to carry on some memorable dialogue that will keep you smiling for weeks after,
some superb sequences and genuine cast make this easily the best flick of the year so far, but it is only February, the one flaw is the story is something we've all see before, also i worry that being black and white will put some people off but for those that do see it, you will love it
Tristan + Isolde (2006)
somehow everything you wanted from a film
this film is pure brilliance from start to finish if you haven't seen it then you can think about it as braveheart meets romeo and juliet but as good as if not better than either film. it is highly predictable and there are very few surprises in the film but it is still worth watching the sequences are simply breath taking weather it's tristan in a fight or isolde looking out to sea. also tristans fight scene as a young child has the be one of the greatest fight scenes that any child actor has been involved in. the only flaw of the film is that it is so predictable and as pointed out above the poem featured was written well after the films time period and this preyed on my mind for sometime the first time i watched it which made me loose track of other scenes later on when the poem is featured.
