^ Will be seeing Cars 2 when I get back to MK in a few weeks
I am notably known for my opinion on The Lion King (that it is good, but massively overrated [not that I hate it as some members would try and quote me on saying]) so I will end up watching it on the big screen when it comes out, but most likely in 2D. My true hatred on 3D remains.
Oh, and TDK was an ok film. Massively overrated I felt. Been putting off seeing Batman Begins for ages now for no reason, but I am looking forward to the new Batman film, weirdly.
Oh, and Emma Stone is just stunning <3
Anyway, here is yet another of my seemingly endless lists of film reviews I do every now and again:
In the Loop was very funny, very satirical and a very good film. I watched some of The Thick of IT, but never caught full series', but the film was brilliant. I laughed all the way through, the story carried itself and the characters were great. Brilliant British film making!
8/10
Watched
Horrible Bosses. It was quite humorous, had great characters and the acting was brilliant. Unfortunately, there were many jokes spoilt by the trailer, however there were still plenty left in it which meant I found myself smiling through it. A tad overrated, but still a solid comedy - better than The Hangover Part II and Bad Teacher, not as good as Bridesmaids.
7/10
I'm slowly cracking on with catching up with the Harry Potter film series that I haven't seen...
I watched
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Granted, this book was in my opinion one of the most uneventful and boring books of the series, so I didn't expect the film to match the others, and I was correct in saying so. The pace of the film was good, the action (where applicable) was good and the film followed the events of the book well. The direction from David Yates was a bit questionable and a bit bland, but it was adequate enough not to spoil the film itself.
Not the best of the series that I've watched so far, but oh well.
7/10
Watched
Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past. I was unsure what to expect from this, but I at least expected a laugh or two. I got none. It was yet another film replicating the now boring Christmas Carol tale but applying it to another situation and time of year. Emma Stone was in it, which was great, but she looked horrid in what she had to wear and the character she had to portray. The film was boring throughout the most part.
5/10
The Time Travellers Wife. For the first time in a while, I wished this film was longer. Not because I overly enjoyed it, but because I felt some parts of the film were done so quickly and without too much depth that it felt like they were trying to cram so much into the film in such a short time, which left me feeling a bit empty and unsympathetic to the story. The story itself was great - clever, unpredictable and not at one bit cheesy, which it so easily could have been. I enjoyed it, I guess.
7.5/10
I watched
Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. Right, I wanted to see this at the cinema as I love watching terrible films, but never got the chance. What with my sister having got it the other day and wanting to watch it constantly, I thought I'd give it a shot. Annoyingly, it was better than I expected/wanted it to be - was a good story of his life, not too much of him singing and had some attractive girls in it too. However, they wee screaming lots and when he was singing, I wanted to die. He has talent - not denying that - but I don't like him still, although he has grown slightly on me. Overall, better than it should be, but down get into a hot sweat over it.
5/10
