Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Technically Dead Sort Of....
This doesn't just explain most of the remaining characters in the series, but also what i thought about the series on a whole. I loved the first couldn't stand the second, but i hoped against all hope that the third would be something good... it was! Disney managed to revive it!
The series has come full circle and even with the great amount of explosions and mounting dead bodies it was good. As always Depp was his eccentric self, Bloom actually became very manly even with the bad ear ring, Knightley stood up for all woman pirates and actually gave me goosebumps (something her acting has never done before), Rush just made you laugh at his unintelligible lines and Nighy made you go "arrrrh".
All in all a good script with good action and fine acting, a great piece of escapism as the time flies by and you get drawn in to the world of the gentlemen of the sea and the one's who wished they were!
Soundproof (2006)
Good Going BBC it was Fantastic
I just watched this BBC gem! In recent months there have not been many good one off drama's, but this was great. Reading that the story involved deaf and hearing actors i was intrigued and thrilled to see that there was something of substance to watch. I wasn't let down!! The acting was of a very high class and not only that but the cast seemed to completely gel with their characters. Unlike a lot of Drama's UK and US the music and background noise did not take away from the actual story or overpower it, they were used perfectly to show the audience how it feels to have a loss of hearing and it really gave you something to think about even when it ended. It may not be a red herring filled plot with twists and turns, but the case involved was interesting and there was no dull minute in 90 minute show. All in all it was a complete hit in my book so well done BBC for putting it on and well done to everyone involved in making this brilliant piece of TV.
The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
This good comment isn't posted by the studio!!!
Wow this was as good as i hoped it would be.... actually no it was even better! After hearing that Antonio Banderas was not going to play the Phantom i had my doubts that it would be that good. As i have heard him many times singing The Phantom Of The Opera and it has me spellbound every time!
Also having the shoes of Micheal Crawford to fill i felt Gerard would have a lot to live up to, but i sat amazed when Gerard Butler started singing while i was watching the film last night and i felt for only having a month of coaching before filming that he was amazing actually all three leading roles were superb.
The Supporting roles also did the main three proud Simon Callow and Ciarán Hinds pulled off the humor very well and Minnie Driver mimed her part so effortlessly that it was hard to tell that she didn't truly sing at all!
This film is for the romantics and musical lovers so that is why i enjoyed it so much. The new and slightly more passionate Phantom will make you care for him so much that you might end up crying before the end as i did :).
