Not too long ago, I went to watch 'Millions' during the European Union Film Festival at GSC, besides another movie called 'Edukators' (from Germany). There were too many shows in the list within a short time period, so I couldn't catch more which I wanted to.
'Millions' was one of those movies that came out right from the "UK factory" that doesn't disappoint you. Those that are familiar with Danny Boyle's style (Trainspotting, The Beach, 28 Days Later...) will notice his trademarks with his movies again, with unique cinematic scenes and effects (e.g. the computer generated building of a house at the opening part of 'millions', diving into the underwater world of a toilet bowl in 'Transpotting'). Other than that, most of the storyline of his movies are interesting as well. Also, Boyle doesn't stick to a particular genre, as '28 Days Later...' is horror, 'Trainspotting' and 'Millions' being part comedy/drama and 'The Beach' being some sort of thriller.
'Keeping Mum' was another British film that I watched last night at a friend's house after dinner. It was shown before in our local cinemas here, but I thought that it was just another "tasteless" show, so I ignored it. Even more, it has "Mr Bean" aka Rowan Atkinson acting in it. Actually, it was a pretty good show worth seeing, after watching it. Don't judge a movie by it's poster, I'd say.
