Kick Ass

Stupendously awesome. Best film of 2010. Canny do a full review as rushing out to swimming, but go see.

9/10

Going to see Clash of the Titans tonight too. Mega!

Remember Me

Not my typical type of film, but I went not expecting to be enthralled. Turned out to be very good, and I now actually quite like Robert Pattinson as an actor (Didnt realise he played Cedric in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" till recently too!).

Hadnt heard much about the film before hand, so the plot was totally unknown, and, well, I was surprised. Bit of a tear jerker with some tense dramatic moments to be honest; makes you realise you have to appreciate and make the most of what you have, whilst you have it.

In summary:
Good acting
Good cast
Original plot line
Kinda clever in places
Food For Thought film

8/10, which is high for me considering its not my usual taste!

Edit: Look out for young actress "Ruby Jerins", I reckon she's gonna be huge in the future.

Clash of the Titans:

Okay. I didn't read any reviews about this before going to see it and had really cool expectations! I remember watching the original as a kid and loving it so was all like "YEEEEEEEEH!!" over it.... but sadly it was a big pile of disappointing poopness.

Characters: Bland, poorly built on, wooden. The witches REALLY annoyed me. And their eye. It was... like car crash TV. The actors truly flumped up all of that scene IMO.
Script: Absolutely diabolical
Acting: Because of the script I think any actor would have struggled making it look good. All the same, it was really theatre groupish. Poorly directed speech - very "you say something and then pause... and then I'll say something". URGH! Lack of facial muscles in some of the band that went out too - that's a HUGE MOFO (poorly CGI'd) SCORPION in front of you!! Try and look remotely scared, not just like your Mothers just told you off for not eating your greens! MORONS!
CGI: Not great - it's all a bit tacky and looked super dooper green screened. I saw it in 2D... may be it would have been better in 3D? I don't think so though.
Costume Design: Some lovely ideas but it looked STUPENDOUSLY tacky. The gold looked plastic and the costumes were just all too... rigid. In films set in eras like this I LOVE costume designs... this just looked all to spanking new with a bit of make up on it if it needed to be dirty.
Make up: As costume design, was super amateuresque at times. People who had been in battle suddenly emerged with poorly smeared black faces. It all felt a bit like a bad halloween attempt.
Story Line: Well it had so much potential... and FAILED! Epically in my mind. The whole presentation of it was dull, uninventive and disappointing.

Really didn't like it. I tried to like it so much but it just was pants. I wasn't aware it had poor reviews either and was dead excited.

Gutted.

I was so bored half way through I just curled up in a ball in the cinema and went to sleep.

To me... it was like opening a lovely Lindt chocolate and *KNOWING* it can be nothing but voluptuous meltingly gorgeous, divine and perfect... only to bite into it and realise it's a turd.

2/10

Oh and STUPID ENDING! THat's not what happened in the original you big bunch of wussy-americanised-muppets!

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

8/10

Kari and I watched this last night. I spotted it on Netflix's streaming queue and knew I'd heard good stuff about it from BD peeps.
What a lovely little gem of a movie. First time in ages I've actually tried to cheer on a film character "Go on Nick, don't be stupid!", "Ditch him, Norah!."
That said Michael Cera annoyed me. That bland thing almost made it seem like he was just mechanically reading his lines at some point.
The gum thing totally grossed me out.

I would say 9/10 but -1 for Cera and his wooden acting.

Sam Worthington confirmed the sequel during in the premier in London and also confirmed a trilogy of the movie, "Clash of The Titans 2" will be released in November 2011.

Noooooo!

Its become a standard thing with contracts, everyone gets signed up for x number of films depending on the success of the first. IIRC the main Shrek voice actors all signed up for 8, and the 4th is going to be the last one. Actors like it because it's guaranteed work, plus they can negotiate for a larger pay.
I don't tend to trust that sequels are coming these days until the cameras are rolling

Not to worry - the 23rd Bond film has been indefinitely postponed.

Can't say I'm upset by that. They've evidently realised how bad the last 6 have been.

Let The Right One In

No idea what to score this. May need to see it again. It's like someone took Twilight and thought 'How can we make this quite good?'.

I think I agree with you there, it was very arthouse/surrealist at times, and I think that there was too little in the way of backstory, eg:

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

The bit with the 'inappropriate' shot of Eli...

It wasn't until reading up on the story that Mrs Dym found out it was actually a castration scar and not lady bits!

End Spoiler Alert!

A good film, but somewhat odd...

I think I'd go with an 8/10, it's a pretty good film, a bit surreal but considering the budget was negligible and Scandinavian cinema isn't exactly burgeoning it's a worthwhile film to search out.
