Films

Item 12 - watch a new film every week for a year

The task to watch one new film every week for a year does not neccessarily involve writing a review of each one, and I cannot be entirely sure I have been strict with this one. Nevertheless I certaily have on average seen one new film each week since the last update - and to prove it here is mini critique of all 11 weeks worth of films:
  • Saw - Whodunnit style torture horror where people kill themselves in humorous ways. Cary Elwes is in it, he is fatter than I remember him and he overacts pretty badly.
  • Saw 2 - same as saw 1 but set in a house with more entertainingly brutal killings.
  • Saw 3 - Final part, you learn more about Jigsaw who has now set up a warehouse for his victim to run around in; all 3 Saw films have twists at the end
  • 300 - film documenting how 300 stubborn spartans got slaughtered by persians at the battle of Thermopylae
  • Serenity - Space Western about the crew of the ship serenity who get into all kinds of scrapes. This is now one of my favourite sci-fi films
  • Deuce Bigalow European Gigalow - Made me laugh but it is fairly abysmal
  • Hot Fuzz - Very funny. I will try to review this without drawing reference to Shaun of the dead... Damn.
  • Scary Movie 4 - Likeable chucklefest spoofing Saw 1 and 2, The grudge, the village, War of the Worlds and more. Also takes the piss out of Tom Cruise
  • Mr Bean on holiday - Not quite sure why I watched this. Not bad - It fulfilled my expectations
  • Talladega Knights - It has Will Ferrel in it which makes it better than ok. It's about a dim Nascar racer, and apparenly is meant to spoof 'all-American'sporting heroism.
  • Night at the museum - The exhibits come to life. It has a happy ending but isn't that funny
