12 (2007)
I know it has been months (April) since I've done a movie review. We all know that the lack of reviews doesn't mean I haven't been watching movies!
So first up, is the movie 12. It was nominated for an Academy Award. I've had this movie for a while, finally got around to watching it last night. Another foreign flick, this time from Russia, which means you have to read subtitles. I really prefer subs over dubbed any day. So the movie takes from the original 12 Angry Men, puts a Russian flavor, and in general I would recommend it if you are able to make it through movies with subs. I feel asleep once, not the fault of the flick, but it had been a long day! There are no known actors, but all gave respectable performances. Apparently (from wikipedia) there are some underlying aspects of the movie that only those familiar with Russian history would get. I still liked it though. Overall, happy that I watched it.
