The Grand Budapest Hotel. I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan, anyway, and the film is, to paraphrase Nigel Tufnel, none more Wes Anderson. I absolutely LOVED it. Funny, touching, exciting, pompous, fantastical and visually exact. Anderson's best film since The Royal Tenenbaums.
The Raid 2. Oh. My. God. There is shit going on in The Raid 2 which you simply won't believe. It's left me slack jawed in amazement. Beautifully brutal choreography and camera work, fantastic pacing and scores of moments that'll have you swearing and wincing in disbelieving awe. I'm not fucking kidding - this film will leave you utterly, utterly breathless. It has the greatest use of hammers as weapons since Oh Dae Su went berserk in a corridor and the most incredible car chase since Jason Bourne twocked a taxi in Moscow. You HAVE to see this because, believe me, you've NOT seen anything else like it. Sorry, Hard Boiled, you're no longer the greatest action film ever made. Absolutely stunning. SEE IT NOW.
