I saw Delta Farce, starring Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, and DJ Qualls. I wouldn't recommend it, but despite all the humorless jokes revolving around flatulence, surprisingly, it wasn't painstakingly bad, other than Bill Engvall being in the movie. His presence was almost non-existent despite him playing one of the main characters.
Recently I saw A Knight's Tale for the first time since it was in theaters... not quite as engaging the second time, but still pretty awesome in its own way! Including that soundtrack... in the case of this medieval saga, they made the right choice not to go with medieval music!
Action, comedy, sports, Heath Ledger... it certainly has the makings for a spectacular film!
Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa. When radio presenter Pat Farrell (Colm Meany) is sacked from his job at North Norfolk Digital, he becomes rather upset. This results in him storming the building with a shotgun and taking everyone inside hostage. He refuses to speak to everyone but one man; fellow presenter and legendary comedy character Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan).
This is a fun little comedy that has a lot of fun deconstructing various siege movie cliches and had me laughing the whole way through. Well worth a watch.
Yesterday I saw 'Thor' on the TV. I like Scandinavian mythology and I didn't really like the adaptation, but that's the comic's fault. At least I liked the visuals, looked neat. The movie just kinda lacked a real good storyline. It rushes through this stereotypical father-son drama with the evil brother and redemption and boom, everything's alright, oh and there's a bit of romance too. Hence why the movie felt a bit shallow to me.
Thor and Captain America both felt shallow to me. I don't think either was meant as anything more than a setup for The Avengers, which is a practice I'm really starting to hate.
I I re-watched Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. It's not a patch on the comics, but it's still good fun, and retains a lot of the wit, invention, and visual flair of the source.
We watched Gravity in science class. Oh man, that was a bad movie. Not worse than After Earth but still just as bad.
No, really? I mean, it's not the best story, and probably loses something in transition from big to small screen, but it''s a good bit of B-movie fun.
Inception. I was a bit late to hop on that one. Surprisingly it didn't disappoint, considering all the hype that's been building for over a year for me.
