Arthur

I love Russell Brand. Lets make that clear. He was funny in get him to the Greek, but this film either wasn't as good as it looks or it just wasn't my cup of tea.

I honestly think the only character that made me laugh in the film was Hobsen (Arthur's nanny). Greta Gerwig who played Naomi Quinn really annoyed me in this film. I don't know why but something about her really annoyed me, which was really disappointing.

But I personally thought that Jennifer Garner did a really good job at playing a 'villan' for a change. It was nice to see her aggressive side as most of the films I've seen her in shes played the sweet innocent main character.

I would recommend this film for people who want to watch something that they don't really have to concentrate on as its very predictable.

Overall I'd rate this film 4/10

Bridesmaids.

Okay... I've seen a LOT of films, and I mean a LOT and about 9/10 times I can guess whats going to happen in the film just by watching the trailer but this film wasn't at all what I expected.

Horror and comedy films are my favorites and normally when I go to see a comedy I know the kind of funny stunts they'll try to pull, but with this film... I don't know. Something was just different. It could have possibly been because most comedy's I've seen have had male leads but this one was basically all girls with one guy who pops up now and again.

I have to say, even though it was refreshingly different, I don't think I'd see it again for a while. Yes, there was funny parts. But after having a good old laugh at one part... it went kind of dead for ages until the next laugh out loud scene. So for me it kind of dragged on.

Also Kristen Wiig (who played Annie the lead role) didn't give off a good vibe to me. When I watch a film I want to like the main character and with her I just didn't. I really tried but some of her acting just made me cringe. But I did think that Maya Rudolph (who played the bride) did a really good job and thought she delivered some really funny lines. But of course I thought the funniest one in the film was Melissa McCarthy. But yes I could just be thinking that because I love the Gilmore girls but I think her acting was brilliant and some of her one liners made me cry with laughter. She should have been in every scene of the film! Oh and one quick thing, I personally don't think this is the kind of boyfriend you should beg your boyfriend to watch with you, this one is defiantly one to watch with the girls.

So overall I'd give this film a 7/10. Some people love this film but it could have been a lot better for me.

Just go with it

As soon as I saw the trailer for this film I knew I would watch it. It has Adam Sandler (who played Danny) and Jennifer Aniston (who played Katherine) as the main characters which instantly made me love the film before I had even put it on.

I loved the fact that Adam was a plastic surgeon because his patients were hilarious (espically the one with the eyebrow). His 'best friend' in the film also gave me a few giggles, espically when he was trying to save the sheep and with the accent. Also since I've mentioned accents the british accent that Maggie (Katherine's daughter) put on was funny to start with but after a while, it just got annoying.

But I did think that Bailee Madison (Who played Maggie) and Griffin Gluck (who played her younger brother) acted very well for their age. I was also surpised to see Nicole Kidman in the film to and I normally don't like her films but I couldn't fault this one just because she was in it.

I would definaly recomend this film to people who have a good sense of humor and who have enjoyed Adam Sandler's previous work.

Overall I'd rate this film 8/10.

I Am You / In her skin

When I read that this was a australian drama film about a girl who was killed by her old babysitter I didn't see the point of watching the film. It had just told me who had killed who basically but I was bored and there was nothing on. As the film started I didn't have high hopes but boy I was wrong.

This film had me crying my heart out and I really felt bad for the family who had lost their daughter (Rachel). I even felt bad for the Caroline (the babysitter) which I didn't expect to happen. I thought Ruth Bradley did an amazing job at playing Caroline and really got into the role.

I think the only things that would have made the film better for me would have been better acting from Rachel's little sister. She didn't seem that upset, I mean she said sorry Dad, its my fault shes dead Caroline was my babysitter and gave him a hug but I felt it was very poor acting.

Then the credits rolled, and I found out it was a true story.

I'd rate this film 9/10, worth watching!

Scream 4

I watched the first three scream films about a month ago because I saw the trailer for Scream 4 and thought it looked kind of good, so of course I had to watch them in order. So last night I finally watched it.

It was basically the same as the first three but with a few tweeks. I honestly don't know how I still found each one interesting when the killers never killed the people in very interesting ways, it was always with a stab or throwing them about. But I keep watching to find out who did it, trying to guess who it is all the way through the film. This time I was sure the killers were Charlie and Robbie. So I was half right. I did change my mind towards the end though, and as soon as Sidney couldn't find Jill (who was meant to be under the bed) I was sure it was her, so it kind of ruined it a little when they did reveal it was her, but it was still a good idea to make her the killer.

Also, when she killed her 'partner in crime' well... if you didn't see that coming, you don't know the other films that well. And if you thought Sidney was going to die when she got stabbed then did you even watch this film? That stab wouldn't have even killed the useless police that were outside.

I did think they should have killed Gail though, I mean I love her and Dewey but it would have been nice to shake things up a bit. Especially if they want to make another one (which I think they should, maybe it could skip a few years and Sidney could be the killer and make it a big twist).

I'd rate this film 7/10. It would be a full 10/10 if Sidney was the killer.

Nightmare on elm street (2010 version)

I haven't seen the original nightmare on elm street and planned on watching it before the new one but I really wanted to see it, and I loved it.

I'd never seen a film like it before, some of the acting could have been improved but I loved the concept of being killed in there dreams because it seemed so unbelievable.

I also thought it was a good twist that the teens knew the person who was doing it too. The only part I thought didn't need to be added was when the teens thought they had made it all up, that could have been left as them just not remembering what happened back then.

I loved the bloody bits on the film and it made me jump once or twice as well which wasn't expected. The main actors of the film did very well too, and of course this film gets a few extra points from me for casting Kellan Lutz even if he wasn't in the film for very long! 

Overall I'd rate this film 8/10

Circle of eight

I don't even know where to start with this film.
When I first put it on, I thought it looked pretty normal. Nothing to weird- yet. But then the film started to get going...
Jessica (the new girl in the building) started seeing dead bodies of her new neighbours everywhere then they would suddenly disappear. At this point I thought there was a killer in the building and he was hiding the bodies before anyone else could see them, which would have been fine. But no, towards the end of the film you find out that they aren't really dead, or they are but they haven't just been killed? I don't know, it was pretty confusing.

Also throughout the film you see clips of a couple of people swimming and then later find out that its Jessica and her little brother, and that he drowned because she didn't save him, she put herself first.

Another thing that happens throughout the film is that you get the feeling that they all already knew Jessica by the way they were acting around her (especially Evan, her love interest).

Some other bits happened that were even more confusing but I'm not going to go into all of it...

So basically at the end of the film Jessica and Evan are getting it on in her room and then a fire starts. A wardrobe falls and traps Evan and Jessica has to decide to stay whether to stay with Evan or jump out of the window. She jumps.
And then the film starts from the beginning (skipping bits of course)... which made things start to make a bit more sense, but not a lot.
This time around when the fire starts and Evan gets trapped but Jessica decides to stay with him and then the film ends?
So basically, they were all stuck in a cycle until she decides to stay with Evan and 'save him' because she didn't save her little brother. Very disappointing. I didn't understand why the two were related, expect for the fact that Jessica was involved in them both. I mean she couldn't even save Evan, she could only really wait and die with him. I'd rate this film about 3/7, maybe a bit harsh but a lot of the film really did seem pointless.
