Midnight Express
This film was pretty interesting, made even more so by the fact that it was based on a true story about a young American who gets stuck in the Turkish prison system. Even more so than emphasizing "drug smuggling is bad", movies like this nail home the point that getting caught doing unlawful things in foreign countries where "law" is a flexible word is a not good situation to be in.

In the Cold Light of Day
Bad. Bad Bad Bad.
Went to see this movie because Henry Cavill is incredibly gorgeous, and that fact is literally the only thing this movie had going for it. And honestly, as hot as that man is I am not sure it is enough to carry the weight of an entirely awful movie.
Just think of something film related, anything at all. Got it?
Now yes, I can confidently say that whatever you thought of was dreadfully executed in the making of this movie. Well, unless you said "Cavill's tight shirts" in which case I would say Well Done Wardrobe Department.

Lawless
Now this is my kind of movie! Intriguing subject matter, exciting action, compelling drama, expertly cast, and beautifully shot. It even had a touch of comedy...
The actors especially hit their marks - Tom Hardy was brilliant, Shia LaBeouf was perfect for his role, I wish there was more Gary Oldman; albeit Guy Pearce may have been a bit too over-the-top creepy bad-guy.
It was predictable in almost every way, but damn this movie was so enjoyable that I didn't even care.

Jane Eyre
Not a fan of this movie, but that is probably not because it is a bad movie but more likely because I don't like dry overly romantic dramatic wistful nonsense. Thought I would watch it as it actually has quite a good cast - Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender to name the leads. And no doubt that they, as actors, didn't suck but their abilities did little to take from the fact that this is simply not my kind of movie. It is what you would expect...
