What a busy week. I was on a film shoot for three days. Also, went out three nights in a row. Watched a few MIFF films in between. Great week but bloody exhausted now.

'Unmade Beds' (2009) directed by Alexis Dos Santos

I really enjoyed this film. The characters were interesting, they somehow felt very real and they really grew on me as the film progressed. Also, every shot seemed really well framed, it was a bit like watching a music video clip. Everything looked great, the story was very character based and although not a lot happened in the film in terms of action, it was very well written and always engaging. It definitely had a quirky sensibility to it and a great soundtrack too.

'Moon' (2009) directed by Duncan Jones

Amazing. The performance of Sam Rockwell is something else. The film is really tightly written too and the conclusion is very satisfying while not being predictable at all. It definitely builds upon sci-fi conventions and plays with expectations that the audience may have from previous sci-fi films such as '2001: A Space Odyssey' and 'Solaris'.

'I Love You, Man' (2009) directed by John Hamburg

Quite a fun film. Funny dialogue and deals with the interesting topic of male friendships. The cast is great too with a very even spread of familiar faces. Just a very enjoyable film to watch.
