8:20pm - Monsters - dir. Gareth Edwards - Starring: Scoot McNairy, Whitney Able
A good friend of mine summed up this film quite succinctly: "it's like [romance films] Before Sunset / Before Sunrise, but with Monsters in the background." Empire said it longer though: "An amazing achievement for a ‘first-time’ filmmaker, which measures up to the finest indies for performance and character-work, and the biggest blockbusters for jaw-dropping effects. And it has the year’s best sex scene, too."
For my own two cents: this has everything you'd ever need in a film. If locations are your thing, then the jungle and rivers and wasteland here are like nothing you've seen in ages. If romance is your bag, this has it in spades. If you like slow-paced character flicks, this is for you. If you're more into tanks, fight scenes, guns and special-effects, well... this is for you too. Perfect? Maybe.
