Pineapple Express

I think I was a little disappointed by this I mean it was funny but I had heard so many great things I thought it would be hilarious. It was very American funny, a bit slow at the beginning and definatly in the realm of entirely silly which can be funny to a point but begins to get boring. James France was genuinly very amusing and very good to see him a bit away from his usual mopey eyes! Seth Rogen was Seth Rogen which is no bad thing. All in all worth seeing but mostly is was average.

The Duchess

 

I had heard very mixed reviews about this, some said it was nothing but pretty and I dont see why! I loved it. Keira does her best when she is in period and she was fantastic. Ralph Fiennes was at his usual standard and the supporting cast was good. There were some very sad moments, one in particular that had me full on crying, which I dont often do and that is a credit to Keira. I thought this was a brilliant film, entertaining, funny and tragic.

Rocknrolla

 

I was excited about this one, I loved lock stock and everyone says that this was Guy Richie’s comeback. It didnt dissapoint. I am a huge Gerard Butler fan and he was fun. In fact he was one of many who were great. Very funny, very Guy Richie, very good!

Bangkok Dangerous

I felt like I had had a long dry patch in terms of my cinema intake. I havn’t really just been going about once a week but that seems very little, so I have done a blitz. Which will continue for the next few days! Unemployment is getting old!

This was a good film. Nic Cage was cool and violent, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was nothing special or exciting but was a standard enjoyable action. There seem to be a lot of those but I dont think we should put them down too much. I was very entertained, if not overtly impressed. Fun story, bloody ending. The end was definatly the best bit though. I think it got a bit boring somewhere in the middle and took a while to get into the swing. Also Nic was doing a voiceover, which I hae heard him do before and it felt quite samey. Still worth seeing, perhaps though if not a HUGE Cage fan wait for the DVD.

Hellboy 2:The Golden Army

 

I forgot I hadnt reviewed this and it was a few weeks ago. As far as I remember it was good! Very entertaining, beautiful and exciting. One complaint is that it would have been nice to have had a bit of a break from the action. It was too entertaining, in Sarah’s words. There were some very amuzing and funny bits and some great performances. Im not convinced that Hellboy is my kind of hero, or my favourite comic book character, some of it is a bit too fantastical. It was however very very good!

Get Smart

 

I have just been talking about this, it is fabulous 3 star entertainment. Gently amusing with some very funny bits. Nothing fancy or particularly memorable but worth seeing if your bored or a fan of Steve Carrell. It was relaxingly amusing.

Clone Wars

I really was not sure what to expect. This is by Lucas so should be good but the trailers really were not very convincing! I enjoyed it though. Cant say it is a work of genius but it is very funny in places and it fills in some gaps in story. It also seems to create a couple but Lucas has never seemed terribly bothered by plot holes. I reckon if your a star wars fan it is worth a watch.

You don’t mess with the Zohan

Shockingly bad. Boring. Rubbish. Not even remotely funny. I could go on but hopefully my meaning is understood.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emporer

I dont think anyone could have gone to see this expecting a masterpiece. The story was flawed and the dialogue was standard mummy talk. But to be honest it was so much fun I would see it again. Not in the cinema but ill buy it. Entirely stupid, idiotic, funny and punchy. Dont go if your expecting brilliance but go if you want a no thinking, idiotic, stupid and fun evening!

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging

I was only half excited about seeing this, I wasnt sure if it would be really cringeworthy or just simply annoying. But I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was silly and felt very real thanks to great performances from the leads. If your not interested in the workings of a 14 year old girl I wouldnt bother with it, but I came out of the cinema feeling happy. A proper feel good film, I suspect for a limited audience.
