Control [2007]

starring: Sam Riley, Samantha Morton, Craig Parkinson, Joe Anderson, James Anthony Pearson
directed by: Anton Corbijn

Anton Corbijn has created a stylistic masterpiece. The backdrop of 1970s England is so faithfully reproduced that it's worth watching the movie just for that sense of deja vu as you see and remember a particular car, or jacket, or drink in a shop window. I saw this movie at a cinema with Hookie from Joy Division there in the audience - he took some questions after the film was shown. He said that it's as close to the truth as any filmmaker can possibly get. With that level of integrity and beautiful cinematography, this is a must-see movie for any music fan.

Superb all the way though. Still scary even in 2008 however the end is just plain silly!! Goes from believable to damn right ridiculous!! Still 4 stars though.

Spoiler > Pipes traveling to the studio and everyone deserting it leaving only Parkinson left to be possesses is just way over the top to this other wise realistic spooky documentary style film.

Outlaws

starring: Phil Daniels, Ray Emmet Brown, Georgia Mackenzie, Rebekah Staton, Annabelle Apsion
directed by: Harry Bradbeer, Richard Laxton, John Alexander

This brilliantly acted series,scripted by an ex-barrister was far too close to the truth for comfort, the main reason it went out late I feel but then I'm a conspiracy theorist. Just get it if you can and see what you think. The cast are uniformly superb and there's enough wit to stop you getting seriously depressed. The biggest crime is this series wasn't recommisioned. Grown up, entertaining drama for people who can actually think.

i'm embarrassed to say i watched this. I want to give it nought!! I thought it was boring, stupid, the acting sucked and everything about it screamed 'this is what you get for buying a cheap film!!!' I agree totally with the other reviewer, don't be fooled into thinking this will be good because it has Nicole Kidman in it because if anything it makes her out to be a rubbish actor which i know she isn't!!My advice is don't bother, watch some paint dry instead, you'll have a more riveting couple of hours.
