Movie Favorite

"It's a brilliantly angry comedy that was made during WWII. It was obviously considered to be in very poor taste, because it was making jokes about concentration camps and so on, but it?s a very personal and passionate film that also happens to be very funny."

Rolling Stone's 483rd greatest album of all time
Loved this album great thrashy punk with excellent bass lines. I can tell a big influence on the likes of The Rapture and Radio 4, proper stomping drums and angry vocals. Great album, like a less boring version of The Jam.

Story: 12 Angry Men starts with our jury being taken to the jury room to make their verdict. Early conversations discuss the idea that the case being cut and dry, but when the first vote goes up only eleven men pick guilty while one man stands up and votes not guilty. He wants to discuss the case before making it quick decision on whether to send the accused the death row.

As the 12 men discuss the case the solo juror that stood up against the guilty verdict slowly starts to talk the rest of the jury into looking at the facts of the case and slowly starts to turn the jury.

12 Angry Men is one of the simplest stories you will ever see, it also takes a fresh turn on a trial film. On paper this could sound very boring, and it would be hard to talk anyone out of that, but once you watch this you will not be able t look away. When you look at what this film achieves you will bee impressed too a new level and even with this film being nearly 60 years old it hasn’t dated a single bit. (10/10)

Actor Review

Full Cast: 12 Angry Men only uses the 12 actors and I don’t think it would be fair to judge each individual performance because this could easily be the best ensemble cast of all time, each character has their different background and opinion on what is the outcome of the case. Every single cast member does a brilliant job showing just how intense being stuck on a jury can be.cast

Director Review: Sidney Lumet – Sidney gives us one of the greatest films ever put onto film, end of discussion. (10/10)

Crime: 12 Angry Men shows the 12 juror discussing a criminal case while making final verdict, this is a great insight into how they would have got to the final out come. (10/10)

Drama: 12 Angry Men gets top marks for this brilliant piece of work. (10/10)

Settings: 12 Angry Men uses just the jury room for the whole setting giving us an insight to just the conversation between the jurors. (10/10)

Suggestion: 12 Angry Men is a must watch for all the film fans out there I do still think casual film fans might find it not their cup of tea. (Watch)

Best Part: The performances are all brilliant.

Worst Part: No, isn’t one.

Believability: While I have been on a jury and understand how the discussion take place this cold very well be how intense it gets in there. (10/10)

Chances of Tears: No (0/10)

Chances of Sequel: No

Post Credits Scene: No

Oscar Chances: Nominated for 3 Oscars

Budget: $350,000

Runtime: 2 Hours 1 Minute

Tagline: They have twelve scraps of paper… Twelve chances to kill!

Overall: One of the greatest films you will ever see.

We are having a Law and Order movie day. I have select episodes of Law and Order. We are also going to watch The Lincoln Lawyer, A Few Good Men, and Michael Clayton. Might also add Puncture and 12 Angry Men to the list, as I’ve never seen them. Squee

Good movie in the sense that I hated so much about it and it gave me the shivers throughout. Fabulous performance by everyone though.

I am still not sure whether I am happy or angry that the ending was left to the audience to speculate what happens in the end.

The synopsis on the book confused and intrigued me so I went ahead and bought the book. As I started it became clear that this isn't the Snow White story everyone might think it is. Snow has control over snow and is being hunted by her evil father, the king of the land. She has a bunch of suitors in the land she travels too but she only has eyes for Bale. Not everything is as it seems. I liked that they twisted the story and made Snow angry, like bitter angry. What I didn't like is how convoluted it was. If you weren't completely paying attention you might miss clues and such.
