Lady Vengeance

Hello everyone!

So due to our editing software going tits up we are running late on putting up our first vlog. So I am going to do a review about Lady Vengeance up here :) hope you enjoy.



After thirteen and a half years in prison for kidnapping and murdering a child. The main character Geum-Ja Lee is released and sets out to find the guy that put her in there to seek her revenge.

By the directors of Oldboy, this film is interesting, sinister and in places confusing. You do have to play attention throughout. Which to be honest really doesn't bother me at all but if you are a busy person make sure you do have time to sit down and give it your full attention. It is very artistic in form and if you don't like them kind of films it might not be for you. It is a lot different from Oldboy so don't watch it thinking about comparing it because it would be wrong to try and compare such differently styled films.
      The camera work is lovely, even in places that make you cringe. The writing is brilliant I can't fault it. It is funny and thought provoking. What I will say is in places the action is a bit slow. There are a few places where people just don't seem to do anything and they is no speech for a long time. So you are just sat waiting for something to happen. But when they do start again it is worth the wait. ( Maybe I am just really impatient) But all in all it is well worth a watch at least once. If you love messed up Korean movies.

Hello everyone

This film is now out on DVD and I have only just got round to watching it due to the fact that i thought it was going to be rubbish I was wrong.....



For those of you that don't know it is about two rubbish cops that get set back to high school in order to find out and send down the person in charge of selling a new synthetic drugs to high school children.

I was actually pleasantly surprised at this film. It was funny, action packed and well acted not to mention a awesome surprise appearance from a very well known actor that put a massive smile on my face. It was well acted and not only been funny it did get across emotions and you felt for the characters. For course though for all the women out there Channing Tatum is as fit as ever and real eye candy, even when he has long hair ( I still thought he was fit). Jonah Hill i was shocked when i saw him on the front cover  but even more in the film. how much weight he had lost and he was looking good.
 The music was awesome and it was a really very enjoyable and entertaining.
So if you want a laugh and you haven't checked it out already give it a go :)

Tony Scott RIP

Hello Everyone!
 Sad news today I'm afraid the beloved director Tony Scott committed suicide at 12.03pm yesterday. By jumping off a bridge 56ft hight that was over looking Los Angeles.



For those of you that don't know the name you will surely know the films he directed some of them are, Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop 2, True Romance and Enemy of State plus so many more. He truly was know for his action pictures, and will be truly missed by me and I'm sure many many other people. My thoughts go out to family and friends( I just wish he thought there was another way).

 RIP Tony Scott you were a true inspiration to many and a credit to the film industry.
   

Get the Gringo ( How I spent my summer vacation)

Hey everyone!

Ok so over the weekend I watched a film that to put is simply really shocked me. The reason is the lead is Mel Gibson! Yes the man that brought us rubbish films like What women want and The singing detective ( sorry if you like these films it is my personal opinion) But this Year he is back and in my opinion better than ever, this film is funny, action packed and has epic one liners, and believe it or not was written by the one and only Mel Gibson as well.

For those of you the haven't seen the trailers, or indeed watched the film yet as it is currently still been shown in some cinemas around the UK. This is the basic plot to the story, a career criminal (Mel Gibson) has just finished a job that has landed him with a lot of money. But he gets caught by Mexican police and sent to the roughest most tough prison in the state. Where he decides to try and get his money back while looking out for a 9 year old boy and his mother ( yes there is a 9 year old in prison it does get explained why) . This is a rated 15 due to strong violence, some drug use and the occasional sexual content. The film is still yet to be released in Italy 1st June, Portugal 7th, Denmark 14th, Argentina, Singapore and Hungary on the 21st June, Netherlands 12th July, Finland 20th and Norway 3rd August. So keep an eye out guys it is coming to screens near you very soon.

Ok so there are lots of different titles for this film, obviously because they are been released in some many different countries but for some reason they have a USA title and a UK one. Which I don't really get why seen as the USA name is more intriguing ( Get the Gringo), I mean How I spent my summer vacation just sounds like another Hangover movie or a ROM-COM which this film isn't either. The British title makes it sound boring and doesn't really make you want to see the film unless you see the movie poster which has Mel Gibson stood in front of a prison with a hand gun. Which kind of shows that the film isn't going to be a ROM-COM.  They should have stuck with the USA title for both countries in my opinion but that was up to them.

All in all this film is fast paced, funny ,written very well. Has good characters not so much character development but it is still interesting and a really good watch. I recommend this film to people that like pay-back type movies and enjoy a lot of gun fighting and a good car chase.
