I am a movie fanatic. I watch movies on TV, at the cinema and I watch them over and over again. This is a way of logging the movies I watch and hopefully a down-to-earth critique of each, for people like me. In no particular order...although my favourite movie is first...

Hanna

YEAR 2011

DIRECTOR Joe Wright

STARRING Saoirse Ronan, Cate Blanchett and Eric Bana   

WRITER Seth Lochhead (screenplay), David Farr (screenplay),

OVERVIEW A 16-year-old who was raised by her father to be the perfect assassin is dispatched on a mission across Europe, tracked by a ruthless intelligence agent and her operatives.

OPINION  Brilliant. Story, directing, locations, costumes…everything excellent. Don’t miss!!!  My 18yr old son DRAGGED me, kicking and screaming, to this. I could not think of anything worse than a ‘spy kids’ lookalike movie. This is notable from the opening ‘shots’. All acting 5 star. Jackson cast teen; Saoirse Ronan (Hanna), with the intent of having an "unknown" play the lead role of Susie Salmon, The Lovely Bones (2009), but things changed when in the middle of his filming, Ronan was nominated for an Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe for her performance in Atonement (2007). This girl will be the leading star of the future.

RATING YYYYY
