Film Review - Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps 


I heard some pretty bad reviews about this movie, so I was a bit worried about wasting 2 hours of my life, being bored to tears. So I am happy to announce that this movie was well worth the watch.
I have to admit that I have never seen Wall Street, so I went in with a fresh pair of eyes, with none of the usual skeptisim that is involved with a sequel.

The movie worked at a steady pace, when building the plot. I enjoyed the whole 'story' and the romance, of course Michael Douglas was amazing and Shia LeBouf did a really good job

I now want to learn all about the stock market and have some books on order from Amazon. For some reason I just can't get my head around shares and stocks and how you can sell them. Also how the worlds economy can be based around when someone can be destroyed by a simple rumour. I guess I better get reading. Ha HA

Film Review - Buried

Buried

I didn't need any persuading whatsoever to go and see this movie - all I heard was Ryan Reynolds! SOLD.

Even asking for a ticket for the movie - I forgot the name - all I said was '2 for Ryan Reynolds pls!' Good thing the girl knew what I was talking about.

Initial thought whilst watching Buried? 'This is exactly what should happen to this movie! It should be buried.' However I refuse to walk out on a movie, however bad it may seem. There is nothing worse than not knowing the ending. So I persevered. The 2nd half was slightly more gripping. I was really routing for this guy to get out. The more you watched him, the more you felt for him. I then started to think 'Wow this guy has some severe bad luck going right now.' I had to keep reminding myself, that this was infact just a movie. Ryan Reynolds definitely captivated the audience with little more than a torch a mobile and a lighter.

Would I see it again? No - It is most definitely a one time watch movie.

I'm waaaaay to angry at the ending! 

DVD Review - The Back up Plan

The Back up Plan

So another movie featuring JLo, another Romcom and another cinema flop! 

That said, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I book mark JLo up there with Jennifer Anniston and Drew Barrymore -  good for a laugh and a whimsical love story. Not Oscar worthy movies, but fully entertaining. Most definitely ones to watch with your girlfriends on a Friday night with a take away. Leave the BF at home, unless he has a crush on any of the above.

Although following the Romcom strategies, fall in love at the wrong time, try to make the relationship work, struggle then comes the obligatory break up and of course the make up. It still had me guessing. (That's not hard - remember the 6th sense? I had no idea what was going on until the end credits!)

JLo plays a strong  single lady who doesn't need a man in her life. It hasn't happened yet, she hasn't met the one, so she assumes it won't. Next step - artificial insemination - OBVIOUSLY! 

Then add the misfortune of meeting the one just a mere 5 minutes after insemination and hey presto to you have the movie.

Worth the watch if your a JLo fan. Giving birth  scene was the funniest part of the movie - be warned it may put you off having babies.

Film Review - The Town

The Town

It's not often that a film has me sitting on the edge of my seat, squealing like a little girl and routing for the bad guy. This is exactly what 'The Town' managed to do.

The film starts, with the opening credits stating that the film is set in Charlestown, an area of Boston that has spawned more bank robbers than any other part of the US.

Clue to what the movie will be about? Bank Robbery. 

So sets the story about bank robbing as a family business, passed down from father to son, with no way out. Of course there would also be the forbidden love story - Que Ben Affleck - the obligatory fall out and the random make up story.

This film is well worth the watch, the show down is fantastic! If not a little bit funny.

Ben Affleck, did a great job with this movie, the screen play!

Glad he's back on the big screen!

Coming to a cinema near you, very very soon!

Hey Guys

So this lil bloggy has been sitting here unused for a while now. The need to start a movie blog became to hard to resist. I am a bit of a geek and an eager cinema goer.

I will make it my mission to infact update this with movie reviews and a bit of movie banter.

What makes this different from any other movie blog or website? Nothing! I talk rubbish and have a tendency to ramble about things off topic. This can be blamed on diet coke. I feel that all the E numbers I consume may just be affecting my brain.

Anyways loads coming out at the cinema soon, so if you want to, keep checking back, you may just be surprised or maybe not.

Ciao
