35-39
This would be an OK run, except that it covers two months, leaving me with a bit of a mountain to climb to reach the 52. In September I actually only watched one film, on the flight to Amman:
35. The Karate Kid. New version -- I've never seen the original -- with young master Smith, who was actually pretty good. This was in general a lot of fun.
October brings four:
36. Fantastic Mr Fox, which is just brilliant. By far my favourite Wes Anderson film.
37. The Mist. Some nice moments, and good creature design, but hackneyed situations and the pacing of the ending unfortunately renders it ridiculous.
38. Ponyo. Both deeply adorable and deeply, deeply weird.
39. The Social Network. Probably the best piece of drama I've seen all year. Possibly a reprehensible piece of fiction.
