It's Been A While

Well hello fellow bloggers (if anyone reads this!, please leave a comment i beg of thee!).

Well I failed to write about the last three films I saw. I know bad kitty, but I just been to damn busy yo! So for your reading pleasure I give not one, not two but THREE whole short reviews and thoughts on the films that I have seen recently. The first I saw at a super secret showing two whole weeks before it gets released. Its stil not out at the time of blogging and that is of THE BANK JOB.

I'm not going to regurgotate the plot coz I just can't be bovvered but the film is a well laid out story. No weird editing, no weird arty farty jump cuts. It has a beginning, a middle and an end. Something that is sooooo missing from some films these days (does everything have to have jump cuts and weird 'so now it hurts' fast editing? More of this in a moment). So go watch it if you like cool heist movies.

Second of all was JUMPER (jump cuts, weird editing I mentioned). I watched it in London while on holiday and I gotta say I was a little ummm.... disappointed in this film . I loved Doug Limans previous films (especially THE BOURNE IDENTITY) but this film was below par. Not to say it was rubbish, because it wasn't. It was WAY to short for a start, the story and characters were severly lacking and I just didn't care for them ESPECIALLY Racheal 'Look at me from THE O.C.' Bilson. She might be hot but she was playing the scenes all wrong. I am no actor but if a bus comes flying towards you in the desert look at least a bit scared and dumbfounded FOR JEBUS SAKE! An OK (and I mean OK) movie, just catch it when the flea pit prices are low, don't bother watching it in digital or on the biggest screen, you can't shine a turd, however hard you try.

Last but not least is RAMBO. The film was a good addition to the series. I'm not sure what possessed Sly to make the film super (and I mean SUPER) gory but the film doesn't get hurt for it. If you are gonna shoot someone, blood and guts are gonna generaly fly (no Sharpe theatrics here!) The story was a little weak but Rambo and story do not mix, but it doens't matter this is frickin' Rambo. Please check your brain and intellect at the door and prepare to be skull fucked! (Easy tiger I hear you cry) I sincerly apologise but I loved this movie, don't go in expecting much and you will (and I promise) come out knowing that you had a cool movie experience.

Next weks films, will probably be SEMI - PRO and THE ACCIDENTAL HUSBAND (don't ask on the last one, its the wifes turn!)

Catch u on the flipside.
