We're the Millers (2013)
At Last not a rom-com
I saw the trailers and knew the story line. But was still very surprised about just how much I enjoyed this movie. The cast all worked so well together when I thought it might seem strained. Don't get me wrong the story is simple enough and you don't have each characters background explained too much. But please believe me it all works. Now the main thing - it's seriously funny. A movie that you can think of certain scenes afterwards with a smile. I won't mention any of these but I am sure you will know these when you watch this film. Now my personal favourite Jennifer Anniston, it's so nice to see her in not a rom com, at last. Sorry to be so shallow but I just loved her stripping!!
Only God Forgives (2013)
Seriously, What the F***!!!
I've read magazine articles and other online reviews about this film and they have all shared the same premise. A brilliant film along the lines of Drive (which I enjoyed greatly).
This film isn't on par with that but maybe Sharknado (which I gather is cra*). But unlike Sharknado, this film does take itself seriously.
What reasons can I give you to avoid this pretentious waste of life. To start it's sooo slow and even when the pace picks up it's still at the coma rate. The character's have no story to tell and seem to be there just to fill screen space. Ryan Gosling is a good actor but I dare you to watch it and count how many words (not lines) he says in the entire film.
The other actors aren't worth mentioning and to finish while some of the retribution scenes don't make up for this P*** poor excuse of a film.
Am I bitter? YES!!! I had great expectations for this film and have wasted my Saturday night watching this!!!
Waste, sorry watch this film at your peril!!!
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
A film title that sums up the film
Firstly, I will say a massive well done to the casting director. Seriously, every actor was so well selected to their respective roles. Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Rhys Ifans, Emma Stone and by no means least Andrew Garfield. In fact the most negative thing I will say about this movie is that I will find it hard to watch the other Spider Man movies the same way now!! The movie plays out well and is not in too much of hurry to get to the main storyline. The effects are not too much that you are thinking CGI Oh my god!! Andrew Garfield plays Spider Man so well that he has truly made it his own. Watch it and you won't be disappointed.
ATM (2012)
No No No!!!
I know that when you see a film trailer and think "I wonder" then go to IMDb to see any reviews (I know I do) and sometimes you think "No it can't be that bad". Well it is. Seriously watch something else and be thankful that you've spent 90 minutes of your life doing/watching something else. OK, you want to know why. Simply put, the main actors are poor, the script is non-existent and the ending has no answers. But personally as a horror/gore fan (this film isn't pretending to be but hear my point) the killer has no connection whatsoever. By this I mean, think back to any horror/serial killer or even bad guy film that you've ever seen and you will always connect. But this film has nothing and I mean nothing. That's it ATM 90 minutes plus another 5 minutes of my life taken. DAMN YOU!!!
Goon (2011)
Forest Gump plays ice hockey
Now I like Sean William Scott and had hoped that this would continue after seeing this movie. I am pleased to say that if anything he has gone up in my regard. The last ice hockey film I saw was Youngblood (that Raki man is a F***ing animal) to quote a young Keanu Reeves. The plot of this film is simple enough. Doug Glatt (Sean W.Scott) is handy with his fists and for this gets taken on by the local ice hockey team as the enforcer whose main role is to protect the fallen prodigy Xavier Laflemme (Marc-Andre Grondin) whose overall performance was average. The film leads up to the big final, which isn't the game itself but a showdown between Doug Glatt and the ice hockey leagues number one hard Ba****d Ross Rhea played by the outstanding Liev Schreiber. Not here's an actor who has the ability to create chemistry with his fellow actors. What I really liked was the connection you started to feel towards Doug Glatt which is all down to Sean W.Scott performance. I wouldn't go to the cinema to watch it, but certainly as a rental. This for me was really watching Forest Gump play ice hockey and then smack the s**t out of someone.
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010)
Wait for it to come on t.v. then turn over after 20mins
Firstly, let me say that I'm new to reviewing films. Although I have watched more than most and consider myself to be quite a film buff! Anyway back to this review. I won't admit to remembering the original in all it's not cgi glory, but what I can remember is better than this. Guy Pearce, oh Guy Pearce, seriously, did you do this film for some extra pocket money? You hear the term wooden sometimes and if you ever wonder what that means then please watch this film as a guide. Katie Holmes, is like a acting revolving door, sometimes believable, sometimes well oh dear. Bailee Madison, not a bad performance but when there wasn't much competition that doesn't say much. The film itself OK, did have some jumpy parts but a lot of that would be down to your imagination and when it did finally arrive, what a let down. What I found myself doing during the film was questioning events and therefore taking my attention away from it. A small mercy. I am not saying don't watch it, just do not pay to do it. Wait till it comes on t.v. then left it as either something on in the background while your doing something else or watch it then have the ability to turn over. Do not let the trailer or DVD cover fool you!
