Movies: A cheats way out of coming up with something new

I wrote this for my other blog and since I've been too lazy to do much over here of late, you get a re-run... sorry :(

recent movies to share....

JUNO

this was a cool film, I liked it even though it wasn't some gripping adventure and it wasn't what I had expected either. I have come to the conclusion that when I read other people's thoughts / reviews of films I mustn't really pay attention. I thought I knew the storyline going in on this but there is a twist, or rather an upset that caught me unawares. Only because it wasn't how I expected things to go, it wasn't overly terrible and in real life I imagine a sad reality for some people.

So if you want plot details, see wiki but I reckon leave it and enjoy this quirky movie with likable characters and a cool soundtrack without any preconceptions.

BUT...

save it for DVD, it's really not necessary to see it in the cinema

3 shishy stars out of 5


RUN FATBOY RUN

I saw the trailer to this and knew I had to see it, purely because of it being a British comedy and it had Simon Pegg & Dylan Moran in it.

Again for the plot see wiki, it's a pretty safe predictable storyline but I like a feel good story.

Not quite as hilarious as I had hoped but there were plenty of laugh out loud moments to keep me happy.

It was interesting to see Hank Azaria in a different sort of role ie the bad guy or shithead as he is often referred to. I hadn't seen him in anything like this before.

Not essential to see this one in the cinema either but still worth seeing once it hits DVD.

Also 3 shishy stars out of 5

PS I didn't like this quite as much as Hot Fuzz
