Not a bad week this for movies, all movies have there individual reviews, see below.
Highlights of the week include Hobo With A Shotgun, Capote and The Gaurd. The low poitn was definetey Priest, one of the worst big blockbuster's ive ever seen It was cliched, over done CGI and a desperatly bad script.
The Gaurd was probably the best comedy of the year so far, with Gleasan giving my second favourite perfomance of the year as the unorthadox Garda who get caught up in an international drug smuggling case along with Don Cheadle' FBI agent. The chemistry they have is excellent and really helps to make it a superb comedy.
Hobo With A Shotgun is one of the better results of the 'grindhouse' revival to come in the wake of Tarintino & Rodriguez's double bill. Rutger Hauer gives my favourite perfomance of the year so far as the hobo determineed to clean the streets 'one shell at a time'.
Capote is a wonderful made movie about Truman Capote' journey while writing his book 'In Cold Blood', and probably Phillip Seymour Hoffmans greatest performance. Wonderful and touching.
Other movies watched this include Alone In The Dark, a movie so bad its amazing an actor as good as Christian Slater was involved in it. I mean it has Tara Reid as a museum curator, enough said!!!
Watched the remake of The Time Machine, second viewing, didnt like it too much the first time round but secongd viewing i liked it a little more. It has a solid first half but a overuse of CGI lets it down. Wild Wild West didnt do tto bad on this viewing ether but still wasnt great.
Finally my horror fix this week came in the form of Orphan, which was dark, edgy and quite twisted.
My movie challenge, the 3-30 Challenge is almost complete, all movies are watchede and in the process of doing my reviews and will post it tomorrow.
In movie news this week, The Lone Ranger has been shelved due to budgetory reasons, which is a surprise considering Johnny Depp was signed on to be Tonto, you would think that a possible frnachise like The Lone Ranger would not just be dropped!! But reports are coming through that it might be saved.
Also it has been announced that Ridley Scott will be returning to Blade Runner, its not been confirmed yet if it will be e sequel or prequel bt Harrison Ford is very doubtful to return. This news has been better received than i would have guessed and to be honest i think could be a good thing, properly done of coars
The best new trailer this week is the creepy and atmoospheric The Woman In Black, Daniel Rdcliffe's first movie post Potter and it loooks good. This could be a proper good ghost story and has the potentional to be a great horror and return Hammer to the top as a horror powerhouse once again.
Well thats my week in movies and it was a good week.
Movie of the week goes to: The Gaurd
