There is a certain sense of joy when watching 'pretty' women in pieces every where on films.

My favourite has to be in the film Irreversible.

(sorry.

Red Riding Hood

Storyline is of a little village which has been haunted by a werewolf over two generations. The focal point of the story is around Red Riding Hood who is caught up in a love triangle.

Directed and what by the Twilight lady... so really should have expected as much as I did. All in all... it was a let down. Such a shame as, like so many films I seem to stumble across lately, it had so so much potential. Zomg. If Tim Burton got his mitts on it this film would have been epic.

The only thing I can say I was impressed by was the werewolf. I haven't seen that many well done werewolves and this wasn't too shabby.

Poor scripting... bad BAD acting (particularly by some of the girl actors in the film. Honestly, utterly static and emotionless). Very obvious story line if you're switched on due to poor scripting/directing. So much potential, such a shame.

Funniest part of the whole film: some dude in the front row got up to... I presume go for a wazza. This was just after it is kind of revealed who the werewolf is. As he crept out of the cinema though, he did it in an over exaggerated Scooby Doo style walk. I absolutely killed myself laughing - it was like he was all "Uh oh... they've cauuught mee oooout!"

Ahahah! Brilliant!

3.5/10

Whoops forgot to update on Friday.

Scream 4 - much daftness, some very clever/laugh out loud bits. If you liked the original you'll enjoy this. They play very much to the original strengths right down to the 'COME ON' bits... Gory & fun. Loved it

Monsters

Plot line:
Mexico has an infected area of alien life form which has been bordered off to prevent further spread of the creatures. Caught up on the wrong side of the fence is a journalist/photographer who has been requested by his boss to escort his daughter back home through the infected zone to the American border.

Thoroughly enjoyable film! Mainly focuses on the two persons relationship and how it develops throughout their journey. Do not expect anything like District 9, this is more of a drama/slow moving sci fi than anything.

Thought both the characters were well developed and brilliantly casted. Just a really good film. Was half expecting something silly with a title of monsters or something cloverfield... but it's nothing alike!

7/10

The Mist

Based on the Stephen King novel - a thick mist engulfs a small town. Hidden within are blood thirsty creatures... trapping a group of shoppers in a supermarket, leaving them battling to stay alive. Weird psycho religious nuts, barmyness and ass kicking grannies included.

All in all? Candyfloss film. Not scary, kinda predictable... but edible. If you like thinking about how you would get out of weird situations (ie zombie invasions) and what actions you'd take, will probably be an mindless film you'd happily watch if bored. Only thing I will say is the ending is typically Stephen King and it makes the film!

Mediocre/Okay

4/10

Rec

Spanish Film - English Subtitles.
Plot: Film crew hang out with a fire brigade for a shift. Shortly into the night they're called to an apartment block where they discover an insane crazy bloodied granny of doom. Upon contact with said nutcase, the film crew, fire persons and remainder of the apartment block are quarantined with no real explanation and left to deal with walking bitey scary om nom people.

I'd seen it before but needed to refresh my mind to then watch rec 2 (not got round to this yet). Zombie/infection film... I thought pretty scary - particularly the last 10mins! Enhanced by camera held filming and part improv with the actors, just a generally good film. Some silly decisions... why would you approach a blood curdling being (especially if they're small and psycho looking) when you've just seen another biting someones face off and know it's all infectious?! It's like thinking licking the industrial shredder at work would be a smart way to get rid of a furry tongue. Stoopid.

Anyway, all in all I think good if you're into scary mary stuff and don't mind subtitles! Looking forward to rec 2!

8/10

Hmmm looking at above... and reflecting upon my sleeping patterns (or lack of)... perhaps I should watch some happy happy films soon! I might try Tangled! lol!

How on earth did you come up with that analogy

Closing the ring

Directed by Richard Attenborough and with a cast including Shirley MacLaine, Neve Campbell, Mischa Barton and the late great Pete Postlethwaite. It tells the story set partly during the IRA years in Ireland, and then back to the second world war. Its not really a love story, but kind of is, it's about a love triangle, and a young man in Ireland who finds a ring, and decides to return it to it's rightful owner.

Not an amazing film, but I still very much enjoyed the 2 hour journey through history, and people's lives. Even though he doesn't have a massive part in it, it was also good to see Pete Postlethwaite on screen again.

7.5 out of 10. Would recommend it though
