Zodiac

The second David Fincher film I've seen this week...I gave my opinion on Alien 3 a couple of pages back and, well, this one was MUCH more like it. As thoroughly unsettling as you'd expect from a movie about a true-life string of serial killings - those of the notorious San Francisco "Zodiac" killer, whose true identity eludes confirmation to this day - but thankfully not excessively gory, this felt very tense and taut, despite clocking in at over two and a half hours long. Overall, not a pretty film, but an intriguing and troubling dip into a mystery to which there'll probably never be a definite answer, just a heap of speculation.

and...

Ratatouille

I saw this during my trip across the Atlantic in the summer, and loved it so much that I knew I'd have to see it again when it finally hit our shores, which it did last week. I don't have a Top 10 list of films as such, just a small selection of elite films which, for whatever reason, I revere above all others. This one's already in there.
