I think he’s calling it a lemon curd, mate.

I am an American fan of many british shows, including Richard Ayoade’s work. So when you said that Submarine was a “knacker”, the only thing I got out of that was that you called that movie a butcher. Is that good or bad?

I agree with the comment about bad guys turning good in attack the block. IT happens in life, too. You get your truly evil people now and then, totally gone from normal behavior, but most people have a reason for being a thug, offender, thief, etc… that involves more than just themselves, especially when they are young. It’s not that easy to just be boyscout good when you’ve been confused, or your life doesn’t seem to matter much. Attack the block was well-made, period. Doesn’t have anything to do with who you think is good or bad, if those cut and dry categories even exist. “Tinker…” with Gary Oldman is next on my list, since Oldman seems to be incapable of a poor performance.

Sad that I’ve only seen 2 of the films on this list. Attack the Block was good but also slightly disappointing, I wanted more originality from Cornish. The other one was HP7.2 a great battle film but, again, disappointed that they seemed to rush through important deaths of main characters.

It does mean lots of good films to put on my DVD watch list for 2012! I’ve heard a lot of good things about Tyrannosaur & Kill List.

Attack the Block is great. It got a lot of illiogical criticism from genre fans.
Films are full of bad guys turned good. Cowboy films are full of that kind of thing, most crime films are, a lot of action films are too.
The reason I think it caught so much flak was unfortunite timing, mingling with lots of unsavoury racism and class fears.

I could not stand Attack the Block. That film was one of the worst ones I’ve ever seen. Seriously, ever. A group of hateful chavs as likeable protagonists? No. Just no.

That said, I enjoyed Potter simply for managing a big, ballsy ending (unlike the novel) and Tinker Tailor was my personal film of the year. Good list. There’s a few I’ll have to check out.

Harry Potter Part 7 Part 2 is bad. Bad bad. Like, incoherent editing, poor framing, pure exposition for dialog … that kinda bad. No WAY it should place after Attack the Block, which is an almost perfect film.

Other than that, sounds like it’s been a damn great year for British filmmaking. Cheers! Can’t wait to see Tyrannosaur!
