To die would be an awfully big adventure.

Rubbish. 

365 Movie Challenge | 110 | In Hell

This film is so badass. I mean there are some innacuracies when it comes to the russian prison system but I guess it can be overlooked because the whole point is that the prison is corrupt. The fight sequences were good and realistic unlike so many Hollywood movies and the storyline was good and unpredictable. The only thing that annoyed me was that they kept calling Van Damme’s character ’the american’ and saying ‘this isn’t america’… the guy was French, his accent was french, his name was french…. so even if he was legally an american citizen they would have referred to his nationality as French BECAUSE HE’S FUCKING FRENCH.

365 Movie Challenge | 95 | Judas Kiss

This film is weird, not sure if in a good way or not yet. I mean whoever the casting director was needed glasses trying to protray the hot guys as the ugly guys and the ugly guys as the hot ones. I mean who in their right mind would choose that blonde guy over CW? I mean its Brent freakin’ Corrigan!! LIKE THE FUCKING A OF PORN STARS WHO PEOPLE HAVE LITERALLY MURDERED FOR. LIKE WTF AND DAVID? A 7? WHAT? AND THAT OTHER GUY WAS SO NOT A 9 HE WAS LIKE A 5 AND THATS BEING GENEROUS!

365 Movie Challenge | 94 | Third Star

I don’t think I have cried so much since watching Bridge of Terabithia two years ago. Fucking heartbreaking. Brilliant performance and cinematography, ALL THE FEELS. And I particularly enjoyed Mr Crawley from Downton Abbey’s cameo in denim hot-pants. 

365 Movie Challenge | 85 | StreetDance

I must have been like one of the few who watched this because of the ballet rather than the street dance. I personally just watched it because of Richard Winsor, that man is a GOD. GOD OF THE DANCE. I couldn’t stand the street dancers, the whole trying to be gangster attitudes and laughing at the ballet dancers even though the ballet dancers were better dancers overall, I don’t see how they were meant to be likeable. The plot was a little predictable and tedious but then again I suppose you watch it for the dancing… not the storyline. 

365 Movie Challenge | 84 | Wishful Thinking

I liked the multiple narratives and the film was split into three parts so we only got one person’s story at a time and had to piece it together but I thought that because when Max narrative was much better than the girls as he used visual aids with the old movies to narrate his thoughts.

365 Movie Challenge | 83 | 30 Days Of Night

Seeing as I only watched this for Manu Bennett I was a little disappointed by his lack of screen time (not that I’m complaining about Josh Hartnett’s face) and how he ended up looking like Billy Oddie in his Goodies prime. But I have to say, that was a Crixus-worthy death bro. 

365 Movie Challenge | 82 | Iron Man 2

I mean robot movies tend to be a little passive, shooting at stuff and being covered in a shield? wheres the excitement in that? I mean a good fight is hand on hand combat, if you’re gonna kill someone don’t be a pussy about it and hide in a suit. RDJ’s witty comments did make the film more enjoyable, and all the little things hinting to the upcoming Avengers movie was clever.

365 Movie Challenge | 63 | Cloverfield

Wow this is scary. Not in the ‘omg I will have nightmares’ kind of way but it will make you jump and keep you on the edge of your seat. The film is entirely POV and filmed as if on a handheld which I think is genius and perfect for the storyline and it provides immense amounts of enigma. The camera techniques also brilliantly portrays confusion with the tilted screen and the near-constant movement in the action scenes helps the audience feel confused an in turn relate to the characters. 

365 Movie Challenge | 62 | The Happening

Very good. I mean for a thriller not a lot went on but the enigma is what kept the audience excited rather than any action. It wasn’t as scary as I was expecting, it was more emotional which I guess is a nod to the actors. I really liked Mark Wahlberg in this, I don’t know why but hie was really entertaining yet managed to pull of the serious scenes well. The scenery was good and refreshing for an american film with little urban location and actual greenery instead of farm ranches! I particularly liked the end scene which completed the cycle and left a nice sliffhanger of sorts. 

365 Movie Challenge | 61 | A Prophet

I’m not a massive fan of neo-realism style films, and this was a looooong film. But although the storyline was complicated at points it was good. Not un-similar to many prison shows but watchable all the same. One thing I don’t understand is the warnings of violence and the hype of it… this film was barely violent at all! especially for a prison film!!

365 Movie Challenge | 60 | GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra

I attempted to give this film the benefit of the doubt what with it re-uniting Imhotep and Rick O’Connell as well as having Joseph Gordon Levitt, Channing Tatum and Dr Who in it… I thought no way could so many good actors choose a shit film. I was mistaken. Seriously what is it with these stupid american action movies? The high tech stuff is just stupid and there is no suspense because we all know you never kill the hero and just aaarrrrgghhh. The lack of storyline and good script just infuriates me.

365 Movie Challenge | 59 | Vertigo

Well I spent the majority of this film playing boy/girl/film/flower/fruit and laughing about orgasmic waves. Oh and I drew a picture of a gladiator cutting of someone’s head. Sexy. Very Sexy. The film however was dull.

365 Movie Challenge | 58 | The Truman Show

This was a really good film, really highlighted the manipulation of ‘reality’ TV shows and Jim Carrey was mostly serious which is always a miracle!
