Persona non grata
Transsiberian(2008)
A decent if familiar mystery/thriller that for a while had me liking it better than I should.
At least until plot holes and an abrupt switching of tracks to become full blown Hollywood action movie had me thinking differently.
Woody Harrelson and Emily Mortimer play husband and wife Roy and Jessie who take the Trans-Siberian Express for a bit of adventure after missionary work in China.While riding the train they meet a charming couple who are decidedly not who they seem.
Nasty stuff happens.
Overall 7/10
Great cinematography, good directing ,so-so writing,wildly uneven acting and some very graphic violence make for a decidedly mixed bag.
Still (slightly)recommended.

Woody Harrelson has one of the most diverse resumes of any actor working today.
It's time for me to do a WH marathon and Transsiberian will definitely be on the list.

I really enjoyed Transsiberian. Claustrophobic and a competent salute to Hitchcock imo.
Watched Man On Wire last night. A highly creative (shite pun intended) feature length documentary from James March detailing Philippe Petit's daring and extravagant (illegal) high-wire routine between New York's Twin Towers in 1974. Marvellously constructed and utterly breathtaking. Received many plaudits in this year's Sundance Festival.

Persona non grata
Yeah I hadn't heard about Man on Wire til you mentioned it in another thread.I thought it sounded interesting but I was wanting to get some feedback on it first.
Did some high level painting as a student and although scared shitless at first I came to have an appreciation of the feeling that being "up there" gives you.
Definitely going to check it out.

James Bond "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". 5/10
Not a very good plot. Half the time I didn't even know what was happening. Some parts were really funny but overall this movie is average.

Watched Transsiberian last night. It wasn't that great but definitely worth the time spent.
