The Meg. An underwater scientific team unearth a whole new world beneath the ocean - and a gigantic, thought-extinct "Megalodon" shark that is very, very unhappy about its feeding ground being disturbed. Jason Statham (whose voice sounds distractingly similar to Stephen Dillane!) stars in this surprisingly fun and entertaining monster movie that I wasn't even going to see but for the fact that I had to use a free ticket on something, but I'm actually glad I did. Likeable characters, a fun premise that's entertainingly executed, I enjoyed this a helluva lot more than The Nun! |

Confessions of a Shopaholic. Rebecca Bloomwood( Isla Fisher) is the ultimate shopaholic and spend freak.and ends up heavily in debt with a massive credit card bill and being chased by a debt collector. and things go from bad to worse when she loses her job as well. I have to say that i liked this film a lot despite it being very lightweight and a bit predictable .Isla Fisher, who i remember from when she used to be in the aussie soap Home and away, is adorable and cute, and she plays the ditsy girl role to perfection and is so funny like Reese witherspoon in Legally Blonde. one part in particular that i found funny is when she imagines all the shop mannequins coming to life and enticing her to buy from the stores. another good comedy to add to my increasing collection and i award 77.5 out of 100.

Creature from the Haunted Sea (Half Sheet) 1961.jpg CREATURE FROM THE HAUNTED SEA (1961) Crooks escape by boat with a handful of loyalists and the Cuban National Treasury. The plan to kill off the Cuban's and blame it on a mythical sea monster goes haywire as the real sea creature turns up.. Z-Grade horror(?) comedy (?) from Roger Corman. This is real test of endurance to last the 1hr 15mins run time. Thought I would watch it again as I had not seen it in a long time. Laughable Cookie Monster type creature. No redeeming features apart from Betsy Jones-Moreland. Boring. |

Very slow paced Romanian film about nuns. That's about the extent of my constructive criticism as I think my appreciation of it was clouded by my sheer disdain for religious extremism. General premise is this. Alina comes to visit her pal Voichita at the monastery in the hope that they will move away together. Sadly for Alina, Voichita is now absolutely mad wi Jesus and doesn't want to go. After that it's just 2 hours of brainwashed hysterical nuns crying over anything. I felt sorry for Alina I wanted to tell her look I understand Voichita's probably the most attractive nun you're ever going to find but she's went the full zoomer, it's time to move on, let her lead her life of misery and martyrdom. Or I was hoping Alina would batter the fu*k out of the demented nuns and that sanctimonious priest. Was going to put it on the trades thread. Artificial Eye Blu Ray - £6.50 delivered for anyone who wants the torture. |

You could say the same about World War II films based on real events, like The Pianist, Ashes and Diamonds or Carve Her Name with Pride. From Wikipedia: "Black Book is not a true story, unlike Soldier of Orange, but Verhoeven states that many of the events are true. As in the film, the German headquarters were in the Hague. In 1944 many Jews that tried to cross to liberated parts of the southern Netherlands were entrapped by Dutch policemen. As in the film, crossing attempts took place in the Biesbosch.[5] Events are related to the life of Verhoeven, who was born in 1938 and grew up in the Hague during the Second World War." I think it's an excellent wartime spy thriller and probably Paul Verhoeven's best film. There is an awful lot going on within the narrative, but I didn't think any of it seemed unbelievable or overly convoluted.
