Meet the Spartans (2008)
Total waste of space
Words cannot express how much a disliked this film. The jokes are tired and old, the look a-likes are very poor, even the stage where it is shot looks like something i could have put up in my back garden.
I sniggered at some of the jokes, but most of the scenes i was cringing, hoping that it would improve.
Funny films to watch, "not another teen movie, Hot shots, Hot Shorts part deux," but defiantly not this film.
Carmen Electrica is very hot, but her role in these films is growing tiresome.
It doesn't happen that often but some films i just can't watch until the end, so i'm glad i only caught this on DVD, it's just a shame i'm not able to put lower than 1 out of 10.
Straightheads (2007)
dark, deeply disturbing but powerful
To be completely honest i didn't know what i was watching when i flicked this film on at 11 in the evening.
I see Danny dyer, an actor who's work i do like and i see Gillian Anderson who has never looked better. There is a spark between this cheeky London lad and older and more mature business woman, i like the way things are progressing, though cringing as a vehicle is mocked by our new couple as i half know something will come of that action.
The scene to follow shocks and disturbs me, yet i'm unable to look away, i feel intense anger and helplessness for our victims.
The revenge that follows is bloody and vicious yet almost justified but borderline sadistic.
For me it's the little things that effect me the most and the scene that says with me is, the morning after the trauma of the night before, sitting on a tree stump looking deeply damaged, a small trickle of blood gently glide down our lead female actresses inner thigh.
This film is very far from Hollywood, no glitz no real glamour, just an intense emotional story about revenge.
Cloverfield (2008)
A refreshing change
Well directed and a refreshing change to the usual alien Invasion.
I went in to this film with mixed thoughts, should I shouldn't I see It, or should I just wait till It comes out on DVD.
I came out of this film feeling a true sense of reality and thinking that could have actually happened, the only thing I think let It down was the occasional poor cgi.
This film is "The Blair Witch," meets "Independence Day" with a hint of "Godzilla".
My only recommendation is to not sit too close as it will make you feel a little ill.
I thoroughly enjoyed this.
