kittiwake500 Days of Summer was quite cute and very funny in parts. I liked the 'no resemblance to any one living or dead' bit at the beginning , the dance sequence and the black-and-white films sequence (especially Tom playing chess on the beach with Cupid).
The September Issue was nine months in the life of American Vogue, as they put together the most important issue of the year. I liked the contrast between glacial editor Anna Wintour and laid back fashion editor Grace Coddington, who kept moaning about her favourite photographs being rejected, but when the issue was published commented smugly that nearly everything in it was hers.
Away We Go was a laid back and funny road (and train and air) movie about parenthood.
Coco Before Chanel was not particularly enjoyable, mainly because I didn't warm to Coco at all.
My favourite film in September was "The September Issue".
Dorian Gray was a disappointment. Why did the film-makers need to change the story?
The Invention of Lying was amusing. You would need really thick skin to live in that world!
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was okay, but a bit disappointing as I had been expecting something more (I'm not sure what). However, It was a stroke of luck that Heath Ledger's last film was something fantastical enough that his role could be completed by three other actors without it seeming odd!
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant is based on some children's books that I haven't read, and I enjoyed it a lot. John C. Reilly was very good as Crepsley.
My favourite film in October was "The Invention of Lying".
