21 jump street

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 :)

The Watch


Hello everyone!!
So I have finally managed to tear myself away from Breaking Bad and thought I would do a review on The Watch so here it is....

As you can see our four main actors are Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade, and they make the neighbourhood watch. It starts of with Evan ( Stiller) who is a manager at Costco and his night guard is murdered by what the police describe as some kind of beast. Being very pissed off about the whole thing Evan starts a neighbourhood watch, to try and find the murderer. So meet Bob (  Vaughn) a guy just looking for beer buddies, Franklin (  Hill) who failed to get into the police force and Jamarcus ( Ayoade ) who had a fantasy about having sex with an Asian woman because he was part of the neighbourhood watch.  
     This film is a typical lads film, but unfortunately everything was just to obvious and the jokes were just the same kind of thing over and over again ( there are only so many sex and penis jokes one person can handle) they even put in really cheap one when saying the aliens cum is the green slime that appears when they are killed ( desperate or what). 
   There were some amusing bits it in but nothing laugh out loud kind of stuff and every joke just seemed to die. There was no real character development in the movie there pitiful attempt was Evan been sterile so him and he wife couldn't have kids. There was really no need for this it brought nothing to the story at all and was just in my opinion annoying. 
    The thing that kept me watching this movie was the aliens it was interesting to see what they could come up with for a comedy, sci-fi about an alien invasion and the aliens were good, kind of insects crossed with dinosaurs. To be honest over all I was disappointed with the movie, the writing was nothing new, same old lads comedy kind of stuff ( sorry Seth Rogan, Evan Goldberg and Jared Stern) The only thing they brought new was the alien invasion ( which started in a Costco the question is why costco? I guess food and everything they "need" is there) but the comedy behind this was just to put it bluntly rubbish.
    Wish I could say something good about the movie but I just can't sorry people. I give this film a 4/10 

Watch this space I will be back soon.
