Beowulf 3D

// November 15th, 2007 // No Comments » // Film

What can I say, the trailer didn’t excite me. Given that my expectations were low, I wasn’t disappointed. The effects, especially the 3D aspect improved the overall viewing, given that the plot was very basic.

Staring Ray Winston who looks like Sean Bean, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich and Brendon Gleeson (The Village.) On the plus side, Angelina Jolie (Grentel’s Mother) gets her kit off!

Rating 5/10 (2/10 without the 3D)

The Kingdom

Not really anti Arab, and not to pro American. Overall a balanced action film, staring Jamie Foxx

Hallam Foe

// September 1st, 2007 // 1 Comment » // Edinburgh, Film, Funny, Scotland

Myself and Laura intended on watching The Borne Ultimatum, but found that despite having tickets, there were no seats left. Thankfully we ended up watching Hallam Foe, which won best film at the recent Edinburgh International Film Festival. Staring Jamie Bell who played Billy Eliot in the film Billy Eliot.

Great film, check out http://www.jamieclague.co.uk/blog/2007/08/16/hallam-foe-edinburgh-roofing/ for a review from Jamie who went to the Edinburgh Film Festival Premier to watch the film on the opening night of the Festival, 15th August.

Transformers The Movie

// August 18th, 2007 // No Comments » // Film, Laura

Not bad, as James King said on Radio 1 it’s cars and women with large breasts. No need for the random extra with large breasts to be in the middle of a slow motion fight between the Autobots and the Septacons

Evan Almighty

// August 15th, 2007 // No Comments » // Film, Funny

Staring

Steve Carell (The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005), Little Miss Sunshine (2006) and the American version of Ricky Gervais’s “The Office” are some of the films he has performed in.) He will also appear in the upcoming film Knocked Up.

Morgan Freeman (Lucky Number Slevin (2006), Batman Begins (2005), War of the Worlds (2005), Million Dollar Baby (2004), Deep Impact (1998)) who always seems to play God as he did in Bruce Almighty (2003) or a government figure.

Easy watch comedy, which will probably do better on DVD

6/10
