Tinker Tailor Solider Spy - (2011)
A 1970s period piece now, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was something I've never read, but have seen on television with Alec Guinness as George Smiley. This version goes all out with absolutely incredible set decoration, production design and art direction - and it also features the impressive talents of Gary Oldman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, Stephen Graham, Tom Hardy, John Hurt and Toby Jones - a cast to die for. Impressive and well acted, and backed by a classic story of intrigue, this was well worth watching.

The Notebook - (2004)
It doesn't look like Nick Cassavetes has the same artistic talent that his father did, but it's nice seeing Gena Rowlands in yet another Cassavetes film. Here she plays an old version of the main character, who's dementia drives her husband to tell her the story of their lives together over and over again every day. Aww - ain't that romantic? Everything about this film was pretty much okay - from Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams' chemistry and acting to the visuals and the pace of the story. Nothing spectacular, but nice. It tells a story told many times before - from the economic disparity between families causing problems for the young lovers, to the choice Allie (McAdams) has to make between old and new love.

Definitely Maybe - (2008)
Ryan Reynolds makes for a great romantic lead for 12-year-old girls to scream about, and there's plenty else in this film for the casual film watcher to enjoy, but Definitely Maybe didn't do a whole lot for me. I enjoyed seeing a Little Miss Sunshine-aged Abigail Breslin again, but the film doesn't make the most of Reynolds' talents, and the screenplay is very middling. I never felt chemistry between the main star and any of the three other actresses in this film. Kevin Kline shows up a few times and shows us all how charisma works - ending up the best thing about Definitely Maybe.

The Graduate - (1967)
A classic - and a rare perfect film that manages to eke out the best in every aspect of filmmaking. Timeless.
