Since this blog is new, I'll do a quick run down of what is out there at the moment. This is not going to be a weekly blog based on what I've seen, as that would be very minimal (I'm a student!). This will be a blog based on what I've heard and the prejudices I hold before even seeing certain films.
Here's a list of the new releases for the cinema week starting 5 June 2008
- Sex and the City: The Movie - Review will come soon.
- The Chronciles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - well, I guess this relies on the Narnia factor, i.e. have you read the books, or even did you see the first movie. Well, I did. It was pretty good. Will I spend money to see this? Probably closer nay rather than yay.
Here's a list of current releases
- 21 - looks ok. Casino movies I enjoy.
- Be Kind Rewind - I'm getting sick of Jack Black. Hahah. Swap his names around....Black Jack!!!
- Deception - haven't heard anything about this. Don't think its got wide release. New thriller with Huge Jackman and Ewan McGregor. Smells bad to me
- Edge of Heaven - foreign, won best screenplay at 2007 Cannes. Havent heard much, can't say too much.
- Forgetting Sarah Marshall - apparently it's okay. But there seem to be a lot of these Judd Apatow-produced films going around. (Think back to 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad. Yes, it wasn't that long ago.)
- Goal 2: Living the Dream - can't say I remember hearing about Goal 1. Enough said.
- Gone Baby Gone - Ben Affleck's directorial debut. It's weird writing that. Acting is supposed to be great: Amy Ryan (Best Supporting Actress nominee 2008 Academy Awards.)
- Horton Hears a Who - looks okay. But also looks like one of those kids films which makes me think that either I have to be a kid to enjoy it, or they aren't making them like they just to.
- Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - I will eventually see, but so far I've heard it's not as good as it should be.
- Iron Man - I came, I saw, and Iron Man conquered. The flying scenes were nothing short of amazing. Great sexual tension between Downey and Paltrow. And good choice with Downey as well, such a great actor. See Chaplin, Robert at his best!
- Lars and the Real Girl - (nominated for Best Original Screenplay - 2008 Academy Awards) really wanted to see this, and probably won't be able to. Ryan Gosling is quite the actor. See Half Nelson.
- Leatherheads - Looks crap. Clooney is only okay some of the time, and this looks like a bad example. Add Renee Zelwegger and you've got = Shit Mountain.
- Love in the Time of Cholera - I know its based on a classic novel by that Spanish guy who has a cool name, but I find the title extremely funny. But why cholera? Why not herpes?
- Made of Honour - Hell no!!!! Worst pun ever
- Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day - Hmmm.....no.
- Moliere - maybe. But probably not
- Nim's Island - Jodie Foster does comedy. Hmmm....I'd rather see her get bashed to a bloody pulp like usual. Typecasting? Maybe, but that's show business kid!
- The Orphanage - sounds cheery. Feel good movie of the year, perhaps. Maybe.
- The Painted Veil - period piece. Maybe, but on DVD
- Shine a Light - ehhh (shudders at the thought). Scorsese's doco about the Stones on tour in 2006. They're great and all, and I admire them for touring at their age, but I don't wanna see Keith Richards face up on a giant screen. Yuk!
- Shutter - think the Ring. And you've pretty much got it. Good for getting girls scared and then they end up holding you. Worked for me. Kinda. Don't ask. Kinda scary, kinda not.
- The Spiderwick Chronicles - wait til DVD, and it will still probably be shit.
- Street Kings - Keanu Reeves. Not a fan. That would stop me seeing this at a cinema. Unless its like Speed. Speed rocks.
- Then She Found Me - have seen and will post a review of soon.
- What Happens in Vegas... - another one of those Just Married, You Me and Dupree films that you keep seeing these stars and starlets appearing in. Looks very cliche.
