Films, reviews and recommendations!

The Kid

2011-09-17T09:26:00.000-07:00

Based on a book that my mum has read, i have heard about these stories, although its not a comedy like i usually watch i thoroughly enjoyed it! Excellent story and really worked well to get the viewer in. I would recommend this to anyone! Please watch it!

Eat pray love

I feel this film wasn't as interesting as people have said it was. It felt like it took 3 hours to watch but was only 2 hours long and although there are some interesting points about finding your inner happiness, i feel it wasn't a very fulfilling film. I'm not sure if i would recommend watching this film as it only really has one point and it just constantly forces it upon the viewer which is to be at peace with yourself so you can move on from troubles. Now that i have said this, you have no need to watch the film.

Breaking Bad

2011-09-04T02:50:00.001-07:00

So far i have watched the first 2 and a half seasons with beth and we both absolutely love it!! Gripping show and although i know it isn't a film, it has been taking up a lot of my time so i thought i would tell you all that this is what is stopping me from reviewing films... it is outstandingly good! a MUST watch!

Children of men

2011-08-30T08:54:00.000-07:00

This film is great! It really gets you sucked in and isn't hard to follow at all! You really feel for the characters and want them to survive! I would recommend this film to anyone that enjoys films with fictional outbreaks, like zombie films but it doesn't have to be so gory.

excellent watch, well worth the time!

more apologies!

2011-08-27T09:28:00.000-07:00

I'm really sorry i havn't been keeping up with my duties here, i have had a very busy schedule and havn't had time to watch films! i will hopefully be able to do one in the near future!!

You again

2011-08-23T09:55:00.000-07:00

I saw this film today over lunch with Beth and we both decided I would review it. This film, is obviously female audience based, however, I enjoyed it too! It had a very good storyline, well described characters and kept me interested throughout! I had never heard about this film until we saw it on the TV so I have not even seen a trailer, I do not know how the trailer would perceive the film, but take it from me that it is not a waste of time to watch, it not only works well as a film, but it also is great for families as it has no real violence, no nudity and has some really good morals within! However, if you only watch films for gore and boobs i am afraid this would not be to your tastes!

Good film!

My apologies

2011-08-22T10:47:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't Been able to post a review for children of men yes, i have been busy with work and helping my girlfriend out. Also i have been playing too many games to be watching films. I know I could do both, but I would rather be able to give my fill attention to a film to give the best review! I intend to add a few more reviews within the next week or so!

The Inbetweeners Movie

2011-08-18T08:00:00.000-07:00

Pure hilarity. I can't explain it any more than this, I loved the series' and so I watched the film on the day of release with Beth, and we definitely weren't disappointed! The entire crowd was in hysterics every few minutes, and it wasn't all teens as i would have expected. The audience varied from obvious 15 year olds (possibly 14's that lied about their age) up to a guy that was sat opposite us that looked about 60! The film is much like the series, but it has a few extra gross bits and a fair bit of male nudity. This all adds to the funny parts though and I for one wished the film didn't have to end when it did!

Re-vamp!

2011-08-17T03:22:00.000-07:00

Today I will be moving some things around and adding a few more things on my blog, so be aware that it will be different, but hopefully easier to sell me what you want to say, and also to navigate my posts easier, so be aware that things will be moving around throughout the day! Thanks for being patient while is do so!

Easy A

I wasn't too sure about this film from the trailers, it looked very girly. However, it was just a very good film. It was filmed in a way i have never seen, it is narrated by the main character, through a video diary, that we see from time to time, and then it also has scenes like a regular film. The video diary then comes into the film later on and really makes it a full round movie. A great experience! I shan't say any more because it will give away parts f the film, but if you have any free time, I definitely recommend watching this!

Hi people:) Picture of me and Beth posted now:) For the people asking :P

Inception

2011-08-14T08:08:00.000-07:00

Hi guys, im Beth, Matt's girlfriend!
Matt is at work so I thought I would have a shot at posting something on his blog:)

We went to see Inception in the cinema last year. This film has got to be one of our favourites! The concept of the film was something I personally had never seen before in a film, however it was a very gripping, exciting story line. I have never been a huge fan of Leanardo Dicaprio, but i thought he played the main character very well! I have to say the first half an hour of this film was a bit confusing, as the film was trying to put across the idea of a dream within a dream, within a dream...so to start with it felt quite muddled...BUT after getting the concept round my head it was fantastic. I have to say my favourite part of the film was when Leanardo was showing Ellen page (the architect, who had to design the worlds) how to design the worlds, without using past memories. The scene where she turned the city upside down was particularly outstanding!
Overall a fantastic film. Characters were excellent, story line gripping yet moving.
LOVED IT:)

The Walking Dead (series 1)

2011-08-13T12:52:00.000-07:00

Although this isn't a film, i feel i have to talk about it, this series (based on the comics) is absolutely perfect! If you love zombie shows, you will absolutely love this show! The first series was released last year and it was absolutely breathtaking! I don't think i could fault anything in it at all, the perfect amount of everything made it one of my favourite shows of all time, and there has only been 6 episodes! I can't wait until the second series comes out this autumn, its going to be EPIC! a MUST see!

10/10 (and a gold star)

This is an amazing film, the first blu-ray film i watched, but i don't think the visual quality was all that was excellent, the storyline, kept me intrigued the entire film and i thoroughly enjoyed it. i have always been a fan of shows like 'the real hustle' that try to trick their ways through games and propositions, not illegally, but in ways that are frowned upon by others. This film was excellent and a must see, even if your not a great card game fan, you can enjoy the excellent acting and well directed scenes! In my top 5 no doubt!

10/10

Shaun of the dead

2011-08-12T03:36:00.000-07:00

I have loved this film for years, it has a real spoof atmosphere, but still doesn't make it a bad film, its still a great zombie film, with some really funny scenes too! The classic catchphrases that don't mean a lot still stay with me like, 'you've got red on you'. Anyone that has seen this film will remember some of the best scenes, and its a lot of fun to talk about, and especially to watch! This film has some gory it, but they do end up just being funny because they are just over the top! Amazing film

9/10

Step Brothers

2011-08-12T03:31:00.000-07:00

This film has a similar feel to Grown Ups in the sense that it has a childish feel, with adult characters. However, this film is a lot more teen based humour and really for myself, was a great laugh! It has some really funny moments. Make sure, when you watch it, that you keep interested because it really helps with the humour, i would suggest not doing anything else while watching, just sit and enjoy the laughs! Great film for both myself and my girlfriend!

I hope they serve beer in hell

My girlfriend found this film while looking for 'american pie related' films. I was unsure of how good it would be when i saw trailers, but i decided to give it a punt! Sure enough, i wasn't disappointed, it has the obvious symptoms of a teen comedy with some 'small' extras! I watched this with my girlfriend and we both thoroughly enjoyed it, good laughs all the way through and a common but still good storyline! This film is great for anyone that enjoys the likes of american pie, sex trip and also my previously posted Eurotrip! All in all a quality film to watch with friends or alone! (not family watching though!!)

8/10

Spongebob the movie

2011-08-11T09:59:00.000-07:00

For great fans or new watchers alike! If you enjoy spongebob, you will not be let down by the movie, including really catchy songs and funny catchphrases this film won't let you down for a good laugh! Although its classed as a kids film, it is defiantly just as interesting, if not more, for adults! You may find some of the scenes cheesy, but they all just add to make the rest of the film so much more fun! Thats the one word to describe this film... FUN!

7/10

Limitless

2011-08-11T05:52:00.000-07:00

Good quality film. Not only does it have some fights and chases to keep a viewer intrigued, it also has an 'if only' feel to it. The film seems to have quite an obvious meaning expressing the ways and means of drugs trades and how people will do anything to get what they want. However, don't be disheartened by this as it is more based on how the main character is trying to stop using something he almost fell into rather than keep a habit. There are a good few twists and turns that keep this film interesting. I would recommend this film to anyone looking for not only an interesting story, but some decent acting too! (be aware that there area lot of fast moving camera zooming)

7/10

Con Air

2011-08-11T05:39:00.000-07:00

I have watched this film a good 5 times and I can easily say its one of my favourite. Usually I prefer comedy films, but this film has always had me hooked! I enjoy the fact that we are instantly brought into the main character of Cameron Poe's side and feel for him as we travel through the story. The viewer finds themselves feeling that they are in the situation and feel every moment of the film. The choices of characters are fantastic and really bring an edge-of-the-seat feel to the film, and the ending is fantastic! I showed my girlfriend the last 10 minutes of this film, and it as still time to feel for the character, she was in tears before the end. Excellent film!

9/10

Grown ups

2011-08-11T05:31:00.000-07:00

This film is a great comedy for both teens and parents alike, with a good pace and a real fun factor, the entire film keeps the viewer watching, waiting for the next laugh! It brings adults back to their childhoods just as much as it does for the characters, adding a few 'getting old' jokes along the way! I would recommend this film to any family to watch together, but as I have now watched it twice, once with family and once on my own, I can easily say that you can enjoy it either way. I most certainly picked up parts the second time I watched it that I had missed when watching it the first time which made it even more fun to view. Great film!

8/10

Eurotrip

2011-08-10T09:50:00.000-07:00

As i'm sure you are aware, this is my first review, and I watched this only minutes ago! My girlfriend and I sat down to watch this film knowing it would be similar to other teen comedy films we have seen. This type of film usually has a guy trying to get 'laid' and his friends helping him, other characters include a guy that thinks he can get anyone but gets no one, the funny foreign person and one set of 'cool parents'. All of these characters were in this film apart from the parents. This wasn't a huge miss as the rest of the film kept it going. Not 'Laugh out loud' funny all the time, but an enjoyable and well worth film. I found myself watching the whole thing without getting distracted by the squiggly line in my eye fluid, which is always a plus! All in all, this was a good watch well worth skipping a minor event for!
