book shits on that number from a lofty vantage point. The film gets a few bits right but you really need to read the original. It's way better.

It's still a very decent adaptation.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno

 

Pretty good. Some very funny bits amongst the amusing bits. Nothing groundbreaking, just a mindless comedy really.

 

8/10

 

The Boat That Rocked

 

Nothing epic, but definately different. Story is a little too idealistic at times. Good for a feel good movie.

All the songs were famous! (Except Summer or whatever, the one with all the dads "singing")

That was just me trying to cover up how much I know about ABBA.

 

I had no idea what that song was when it has flashbacks with Meryl Streep and her daughter. I knew they'd do Waterloo at the end. I was waiting for it.

 

'Lay All Your Love on Me' is my favourite song. I wanted to hear 'Fernando' but that would have been a bit hard to crowbar in.

 

I wish my life burst into spontaneous song....you know, more than usual.

I knew of that childhood memories song, cause aparently my parents used to stare at me in my crib and cry to it.

 

They CRIMINALLY cut Under Attack (legendary forgotten ABBA single) from the movie. In the stage show, she has a freaky dream, and that song appears. That's the only bit 0 iactually remember from the show...

Would rather die tbh.

 

Hearing tales of Mollys nightmarish "old people dancing in front row at cinema" conjusres up horrifying images.

Wasn't just the front row, it was all the rows. It's a is genuinely cringeworthy film.

Im torn. I loathe ABBA but love Amanda Seyfried. What's a boy to do!?

Tbh, neither of you have had the chance to see the film with me. Hell, I could even make Cloverfield a good film.

I now have an image of us doing Sing-along-Cloverfield. What an awesome idea!

To be fair, if you have good memories of ABBA, or are in the right atmosphere/mood Mamma Mia! is pretty fun.

Million Dollar Baby

 

Frak me. Why did no one tell me this was as good as it turned out to be?!

 

The first film in recent memory to bring moisture to my ears mutliple times. Eastwood and Swank were both brilliant, with Morgan Freeman playing (well) the same character he plays in every film it seems.

 

But yeah, plays the heartstrings like a violin. But adrenaline-pumping too. Really good. Inspiring, even.

Rock Haven

 

Refreshing to see a romance film about a gay couple.

 

However wooden the acting was, it seemed that they genuinely loved each other. Very cute.

 

The main guy annoyed me no end - even without his obsession with Christianity, his mannerisms were enough to put me off. And how his mother didn't realise he was gay is beyond me, when Clifford (such a lame name lol) walks into the kitchen he pretty much creams himself with the most obvious expression of love on his face ever. Clifford was hot, but only because he was latino, and felt somewhat exotic. Again, he was annoying - he stood and talked like a gay, I'm not going to lie.

 

I liked how it set out to tackle an issue which was obviously concerned the director (who also played the Reverand in the film) - Christianity and gay love. However, it dwelt on it far too much. So much so that it felt like the movie was primarily concerned with that. It almost felt like we didn't actually see anything of the relationship between him and his mother, only them being Christian together. Whilst it was sad at the end, it would have been even more impressing if we had actually seen more of their relationship.

 

I liked Clifford's mother. And Peggy. I enjoyed both as characters.

 

While parts of the film seemed very tame (for example the only scene where sex is actually discussed blatantly, was cut out), others seemed pointlessly explicit. Like the scene where its obvious he's having a wank in the shower, and the scene where they have sex for the first time - they strip naked and the viewer gets to see both of them semi-erect before they lie down. Seems really unnecessary, and just means I'm uneasy showing it to other people. I think it would have been a perfect movie to say that gay love isn't all about sex and homosexuality isn't as weird as its made out to be, to show to younger teenagers - but then the random explicit nudity ruins it.

 

I liked how sex wasn't the main emphasis of the film. Like, I assumed they had had sex already, but then a massive deal is made about their first time (I loved how it is really obvious who's top lol). It made homosexuality seem less slutty than it actually is.

 

 

There were too many scenes where it felt like it was just the director saying "Look at this beautiful beach! Aren't I so brilliant for picking this location!?" Far too long spent looking at the waves. Probably meant to be a metaphor or something - if so it went over my head. The music was fine. A bit too inoffensive, too soundtrack-y and background-blending.

 

The story was kinda boring too. Yeah, it was interesting to explore the conflict between God and Lust, but it dragged. It could have been more cute aswell, if there had been more scenes of them doing things together, rather than just walking along the beach. It felt like it could have been the skeleton of a good story.

 

You would never remark upon the acting as good. It wasn't bad either. It was just... *blank face*. Some bits felt extremely wooden, while other bits felt really realistic.

 

Overall, I'm glad I watched it. Perhaps because gay romance films are so few and far between? At the end of the day, I can tell I'd hate the director if I met him. I'm sorry, as lovely as it was, I can't give it more than

The thing I like most about it is how well the title fits in with the movie,

it sets you up for one thing and then drops another type of bomb on your lap.

Is awesome.

Might be better than perving on the kids when you go to see them watch High School Musical 3 more than once.

I enjoyed this a suprising amount considering how little I usually like movies with Seth Rogan in. Some very funny moments and I thought Craig Robinson was brilliant in it.

There was a severe lack of Old People dancing when I went to see Mamma Mia.

 

I was disappointed!

Waltz With Bashir

 

Truly remarkable stuff. A kind of dramatised documentary in which, through interviews with old friends, eye witnesses and observers, the film maker attempted to regain his repressed memories of the first Lebanon War. As an Israeli soldier at the time, he bore witness to the massacre of Palestinian civilians by vengeful Christian militias- a massacre the Israeli army failed to stop. It's a fascinating, brave and insightful work of self examination that deals with war guilt, the damages of war on the young and, most importantly, dares to ask if Israeli soldiers effectively took on the role of Nazi's by allowing the massacres.

Absolutely amazing stuff- The animation is incredible too; lending the experience a lurid, hallucinatory feel-It perfectly captures the essence of detachment many of the interviewees express about the war; a kind of self defence mechanism that veils the horrors they saw and were part of. In the final moments of the film, the animation is replaced by newsreel footage of the massacre's aftermath- a moment that mirror's the return of the director's memories- the defences are breached, and it's quite possibly the most harrowing five minutes of footage I've ever seen, such is the impact of that barrier coming down.

 

Watch it.

[Daft]

Yeah. WWB is fantastic. I caught it in the cinema last month, I'm so glad I did. Visually it was stunning.
