X: First Class (2011)
Movie of the year!!!
WOW!!! Mathew Vaughn has done it again! This absolutely wipes the floor with x men origins wolverine and X men the last stand, and in my opinion is even better then x men 1 and 2. The story is so well told, all the characters are brilliantly fleshed out and every one of them either has a really interesting character arc or is just awesome or funny. The script is perfect ranging from effective humour, to really dark but emotional scenes (especially a stand out one in a concentration camp), the action is both inventive and astounding with some very clever uses of powers. But the best thing about this is how well every character is explored and how they show some real depth here, in my opinion this is even better intellectually then the dark knight. Everyone gives a great performance too. Nicholaus Hault brings pain and frustration to the character of beast expertly, as does Jenifer Laurence to the character of mystique. but ultimately this is a film about Charles and Erik and when they need to James Mcavoy and Michel Fassbender really display magnificent acting capabilities and presence, the film charts those two coming together as friends and then falling apart, and it does so brilliantly and there performances cement this. I cant recommend X- men first class enough See more
Kick-Ass (2010)
Film of 2010. Defineltly. Best Film ever? I think so!
This year saw the release of a fair amount of comic book movies hitting the big screen. Iron man 2, the losers, Scott pilgrim vs the world, it was easy to dismiss Kick Ass when caught up in all the hype of the other big screen superhero films that were to surface in 2010. And yet Kick ass beats them all. I went in to see kick ass with low expectations. The trailer seemed average and the overall marketing campaign didn't seem to be advertising a brilliant film. However I was swayed into giving it a chance due to the incredible reviews. And boy am I glad I was. The film powers along at a perfect pace, the characters are fun and likable and also have more depth then they first appear to have. The script is smart original and innovative, Mathew Vaughn and Jane Goldman's script is one of the best in film history, it has a perfect blend of humour, character development, action, and touching emotional moments and is genuinely different. The acting is incredible with Aaron Johnson (who has a convincing American accent), Nichloas Cage and Mark Strong all giving outstanding performances. But the real star of the show is Chloe Moretz as 11 year old assassin/superhero Hit Girl. Whatever scene she is in she steals, be it an incredible action sequence (like the warehouse, strobe light scene one of the greatest action scenes ever filmed)or sharing an intimate close moment with her father.She plays the character with real depth and heart and is also really really cool. Hit girl could become one of this generations movie icons. Especially when you consider the amount of publicity her character and Moretz's performance have received. She truly is one to watch. Combine this with some ultra violence,nerdy comic book and film references,characters I actually care about and a genuinely feel good ending and in my opinion you have a perfect piece of entertainment. But what makes it a great film rather than a great fun but forgettable experience is a near (spoiler alert) heartbreaking moment about 1 hour 25 minutes into the film. This injection of emotionality into the film pushes it from film of the year to one of the best (in my opinion The best) films ever. Never before have I watched a film over and over again as much as Kick ass. No other film can put such a big smile on my face after watching it, I truly cannot recommend this film to everyone any more.
Zombeak (2006)
Absolute genius!!!
A film about a satanic ritual gone wrong forcing the soul of Lucifer into a chicken. You can image how good it sounded when they pitched this idea. Well it is every bit as good as you are imagining. Trying to create fear from a badly made puppet of the least threatening bird imaginable may sound like a terrible idea! And it is. But there lies the charm and pure awesomeness that is zombeak. A script full of brilliant one liners (did someone call for an exorcist?), hilarious acting, beyond laughable effects and a half human half chicken baby! How can that not be cinematic gold of a shawshank redemption standard. I cant recommend this film enough! You need to see this! If only to hear the most fear inducing sound of movie history. An echoing squawk from a demonic chicken. Wow! Just Wow!
Twilight (2008)
Pretentious, vapid ,bilious garbage
For review see summary . 1 star is far too kind. If you enjoy 2 hours of long meaningless drivel then this "film" may be for you. The "acting" is wooden at the best of times and the plot is non-existent whilst the script simply gives Robert Pattinson more opportunity to pose and perform long brooding stares. I cant exclaim how bad this truly is! However you probably have already formed a Strong opinion on this be it positive or negative so this review isn't going to in anyway influence your opinion. The effects are abysmal and the action when it eventually happens is pathetic and beyond lame. Unless you are an obsessively teenage girl I warn you stay away.
