UN AMOUR DE JEUNESSE (FR’11): What a script! Expansive, yet light on its feet. Also has a nude French girl.

WUTHERING HEIGHTS (UK’11): Very gravel in the mouth, shit in your pants type of adaptation. Strong young actors, presence of nature.

Could’ve done with fewer shallow DOF macro shots. Interesting companion piece to Jane Eyre seen yesterday.

HAYWIRE (US’11) proves that it’s very enjoyable indeed to watch a beautiful lady kick ass. Lightweight but fun.

MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE (US’11): PTSD unravels in an extended flashback. Olsen carries the at times slow film with grace. Fun ending.

BATTLESHIP (US’12): I’ve no clue how this one ever got made, but it’s that rarest thing: an echt turkey. Loved it to death.

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN (UK’11): Rather affecting moment to moment, but as a whole it implodes under its own weight.

WAR OF THE DEAD (FI/LT’12) – Had I not seen Battleship, this would’ve been the silliest film of the year thus far.

THE RAID: REDEMPTION (ID’11) has several lovely seizures of inspired martial arts lunacy. Strip 20 mins of narrative and it’d be great.

THE AVENGERS (US’12) has moments of Whedonian wit, divides screentime among the heroes admirably, and doesn’t feel long despite the runtime.

The Hulk kicks ass, Fury feels bland, and too much audience engagement is wrangled from a minor incident.

ERIN BROCKOVICH (US’00) A career best for Roberts? Legal clerks ~ investigative journalists.
