Ghost World (2001) - Terry Zwigoff

Does Thora Birch still exist? I haven't seen her in things since the 90s that I can think of. If she's dead or something I'll regret that comment, whilst Scarlett Johansson has gone from strength to strength. All the main stars in this film are good in it, especially Steve Buscemi. Nobody plays lovable loser quite like Steve Buscemi. His role in Reservoir Dogs (1992) - Quentin Tarantino, obviously makes us think of him as a bad tough guy, but there are so many layers in his acting ability, that any film with him in, is dragged immediately upmarket. I just found myself feeling so bad for him in this film, but it's an enjoyable cringe.

Hitchcock (2012) - Sacha Gervasi

I liked it, in parts. Some bits were too gimmicky. It was alright though. Anthony Hopkins was the only person that could have done justice to the role. Scarlett Johansson's character could have been made more 3 dimensional.
The film did give us some insight into the creepiness and oddness of the famous director, and as a film student, this film was interesting purely for that fact.
