X-Men: Days of Future Past - 9/10 Well done Bryan Singer for managing to bridge the gap between his films and the continuity hellhole that was First Class, now we just need to send him back in time to convince his younger self not to make that shitty Superman film, and to make X-Men 3 instead as originally planned! Roll on X-Men: Apocalypse |

Got to jump on the Battleship bandwagon as well. Went to the cinema blind to watch it not expecting anything special and came out smiling like a cheshire cat. Was one of those films where you just switch off and enjoy the over the top spectacle. Plus there were a couple of ac/dc songs in there. Think it was the first blu-ray film i bought as well. Saw Godzilla on Friday as well and although it was a good film, to me it just didnt have the same feeling as some of the old japanese godzilla films. Not saying it was a 'bad' film as i did enjoy it and would say its worth a watch if you are a fan of the genre. Last film i watched, well just finished watching Bitch Slap. In all honesty i enjoyed it for what it was but the dirty old man in me wishes there was more boobage going on. I mean it was a trashy sort of film but to me it could have been trashier if that makes sense. Next film on my list is Ms 45 but will be a while as looking for somewhere to buy the least censored version (if anyone is selling it or knows where i can get it from, please feel free to help a new guy to this wonderful world of cult cinema out and send me a pm to advise and ill be very grateful, will even try to write a small review and try to get some screen caps if its not been done already). |

Wrath of the Titans (2012) The sequel to the remake of The Clash of the Titans, this is more of the same. Fast and furious action intercut with a few scenes of exposition. Don't modern day film makers know what made the original film and its ilk so special? You just want to shout "Whoa boy...Slow down, take a breather, let's have a look around." It is such a joy to gaze upon the stop motion creatures Ray Harryhausen so lovingly created for his mythical adventures, you could appreciate them for the care taken. With today's non-stop CGI everything passes by so fast. Are they ashamed of their work? Who knows? To me the film works better when it allows it's actors to breathe. It boasts a fine cast. Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Rosamund Pike and Bill Nighy, but they all seem unable or unwilling to take the film by the scruff of it's neck due to whatever blue screen creation is round the corner. Unfortunately this doesn't hold a candle to the original film or indeed any of the other films Harryhausen worked on. Having said that, Wrath of the Titans is enjoyable for what it is, it's just a shame what it isn't. |
