My birthday film was "Under the Skin" a low budget, film 4, lottery funded film starring Scarlett Johansson and a load of Scottish guys. Reminds me of the sort of film you would have seen on BBC2 or Channel 4 after midnight in the '90s. Quite enjoyable, but not quite as good as it could be. Oh and it scores one on the Craster Scale.

Rio 2. Was okay. The comedy bits were far, far better than the plot, which was basically Avatar. |

World War Z. Good fun, really enjoyed it, though you have to switch your brain off from questioning the sillier parts of it. Brad Pitt looks ridiculously like Thor in it. |

The new Muppets movie uses CGI Muppets for some scenes. And Gervais is in it. And I don't think it would have been much good anyway. Why can't they understand that we just want to watch The Muppet Show again? |

They did at least have Rizzo reference the fact that no-one likes Walter, though (although he's still in the new film quite a bit, it's nowhere near as much). |

I'm putting my head in my hands and having a good cry over how bad and compromised this Muppets film sounds. I loved the last one. This one just seems stuffed with pointless cameos and bloody Gervais. Wonder why Segel wasn't involved? Interesting. |

The new Arnie movie Sabotage looks pretty interesting, despite the not exactly stellar reviews. Arnie isn't playing a good guy, which is the first time in a long time, the original Terminator in fact, if you discount that shitty Batman film. One of the more complimentary reviews is here - http://www.reelviews.net/master.html Also the writer and director have got good form too, notably Training Day and End Of Watch. When reviewers use words and phrases like 'an ugly, abrasive and thoroughly charm-resistant bag of slop' and 'The bloodshed is unrelenting and, ultimately, exhausting. There are [only] so many disembowelments and head shots, and bodies torn into pieces you can take' and 'It does have a weird, boldly ugly edge that makes for unexpectedly compelling viewing' I tend to start to want to watch a film all the more. Trailer here - |

Yesterday I saw Rio 2. Which was ok. Not as much fun as the first film but had its moments. Quite liked the avatar ish plot myself. Utterly predictable in every way mind you. Also I saw Divergent. The plot is utterly silly and ridiculous. At least in terms of the whole scenario of people sorted out into different factions. But if you're prepared to accept it and go with it there's a fairly decent teen action flick there. I quite enjoyed it. To my surprise. |

The Battery. A zombie movie done on a shoestring budget that is stylish, tense, and pretty fresh and original. It's a bit of a road trip movie, and like all good zombie fiction it primarily focusses on the human relationships. Highly recommended. |

I've seen a few films lately. Don't think I've mentioned them here. Need for Speed - Horrendously predictable, not very well acted and yet I rather enjoyed it. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Pacing is all over the place, sidelines the main villain for most of the film and gets a bit emo. When it's having fun it's superb - such as the 'mundane' heroics like saving people from traffic and kids from bullies etc. But the more 'serious' relationship drama is incredibly tedious as is the whole exploring the relationship with Osborne. And it's about 50 minutes too long. Missed the mark terribly. Though Garfield is brilliant as Spider Man. Brick Mansions - A fairly average action flick. Nothing special but just about entertaining enough for its brief duration. Did some things I didn't expect so that's good. The end in particular I felt was very good. POMPeii - Fun swords and sandals that knows not to go overboard into boredom of being an 'epic'. Made by anyone else I'm sure it could have ended up a 3 hour boredom fest but Mr Anderson keeps it nice and short and makes a fun popcorn movie. Delightful pomp from Kiefer as the nasty Roman senator. |
