Red Dwarf X

So it finally happened Red Dwarf is back. I must admit I wasn't sure about it. After season 7 and 8, then Back to Earth which to put it bluntly were crap. They lost there edge and just weren't as funny any more.
Then two days ago the first episode of Season Ten came out.... I was pleasantly surprised, I found it funny, it didn't lose its cheesiness, put cleverly thought out jokes.
  I lot of people have been very picking about the fact that holograms aren't suppose to age. True they aren't but they couldn't really stop Chris Barrie from ageing now could they, get over it, it couldn't be helped, it has been over ten years. Most of the cast has changed Robert Llewellyn is a little chubbier which can be seen through his new costume, Craig Charles look a lot older and slightly rough, and Chris Barrie has aged to well. Danny John Jules on the other hand looks exactly the same and got back into the role of the Cat brilliantly, he was the one I was looking forward to seeing back on the screen the most and he didn't fail to please.
All in all this was a nice surprise, I enjoyed seeing them all back together on the screen and I found it very funny. If you loved Red Dwarf and haven't seen it yet, do give it a go I'm sure you will be happy with what they have done.

Mirrormask (2005)

Hey everyone i know it has been a while so here is a blog on a film my friend showed me recently. :) I hope you like it.

MIRRORMASK

This is about a 15 year old girl that wants to leave her parents circus and be in what she calls the real world. When her mum becomes sick she ends up in a fantasy world where she has to save there world to save her own. To do this she must find the Mirror mask with the help of a friend she makes called Valentine.

This film is directed by Jim Henson and his wife but it isn't the typical puppets you are used to seeing in The Muppets, Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. This film is pretty much all CGI and it seems to work really well although there are some places where it is a little rubbish but then again I have found that with most mainly CGI films they have times where it is quiet up to scratch. 

The main character Helena (Stephanie Leonidas) is annoying but then again it is pretty much like the rest of the Jim Henson stuff I mean i don't know anyone yet that doesn't find Sarah (Labyrinth) and Jen ( Dark Crystal) annoying at some point during the movie if not all the time. But you still find away to but that behind you and start to sympathize  with the character on the journey through self discovery.  Although Leonidas seems to plat an annoying 15 year old very well. There are a few famous people in this movie that i am sure you wonderful people would have heard of for example Rob Brydon, Steven Fry, Lenny Henry and Robert Llewellyn. 

All in all I really enjoyed this movie and recommend it to anyone that like weird and wonderful fairytales. Or is you just like Jim Henson and want to see this new style he and his company have done. 

So watch this space i will be back soon with more films for you :)
