Friend (Chingoo) (2001) 7.5/10
Let's erm .... be normal and chat normal movies that most people actually see LOL
I saw ATTACK THE BLOCK (2011) it was a great romp but nowhere near as good as Shaun of the Dead. At times i wondered wot messages it was sending out.
This could have been a coming of age kinda comaraderie (sp?) movie but the ending was quite a let down and fizzled to nothing.
Fun at the time but forgettable. Shame. 6/10
By-the-way ... y'know those SAW movies, yeah?
Well they shud never have been called SAW 2, 3 etc .
We shud have had more imagination spent on the names - let me demonstrate . . .
SAW then . . .
SEEN then . . .
NOTICED then . . .
RECOGNISED
Ha ha ha ha . . . .
- and as a prequel we could have had
GLIMPSED lol
THOR (2011) was mega - funny AND spectacular
Thor is cast down to Earth for being naughty and to teach him a lesson
He hears a "hammer shaped meteor" hadbeen found and decides to go find it
he walks through town and sees a pet shop full of dogs ad birds,
He says, "I need a horse!!!"
Owner, "We only have dogs"
Thor, "Well - one big enough to ride"
LOL
The Set-Up (1949) 9/10
I saw Vinyan (2008) last night (Emmanuelle Beart and Rufus Sewell. Although it seems to be advertised as a horror film, that gives the wrong impression. It has a couple of horrific scenes, but is more of a psycholgical study of a journey of a couple who lost their son in the Boxing Day tsunami and set out in the hope they can find him. The sense of foreboding which hangs over the film right from the start leaves you in little doubt that the journey can only end with death or a descent into insanity.
Comparisons can be made with Don't Look Now, Apocalypse Now, and ultimately Lord of the Flies.
Although the film is in English, the feel of the film is more European. Emmanuelle Beart is excellent as one would expect. Rufus Sewell does seem a bit of an odd choice, I would guess the producers wanted an English actor so that the film could be marketed as an English speaking film rather than a French speaking film.
