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.

Quadrophenia

Hello Everyone,

Thought i would have a break from new movies and do a review on a old classic. So here it is......




So for those of you that haven't seen this, it is about Jimmy a Mod in 1965. He hates his life most of all his parents and his Job. Only his 'mod' friends make him feel free and accepted. It is based very loosely on The Who musical also with the same name.
     With good music, lots of scooters and appearances from people such as Sting, Toyah Willcox, Ray Winstone and of course Phil Daniels which most of you will know from Blur's song Parklife where he speaks the verses.
        Lots of things happen and it keeps you involved in the story. Which is always a good thing.
 It is an 18 so do expect violence, drugs, nudity and strong language through out, if you are offended by any of these things it might not be for you but it you do like this sort of stuff then go ahead watch it and enjoy :)

Watch this space i will be back soon.

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 Five Year Engagement

Hello Everyone!

I realised the other day that it has been a long long time since I reviewed a Rom-com so I thought it was about time I did, so here it is I hope you enjoy it....



Are two main characters are Tom ( Jason Seagel) and Violet ( Emily Blunt). Who  after a year of knowing each other get engaged. But due to things happening it get harder and harder for them to get down the aisle. Tom a Chef puts his career on the sidelines in order for Violet to fulfil her dream in psychology. He gets a job in a college deli and becomes more and more depressed, while she is worried that she is been selfish.
   I am a fan of Jason Seagel's writing and he hasn't disappointed me the writing gives a believable story line ( but of course some of it goes a little over the top for comedic value) What disappointed me with the film was the bland camera angles they did nothing for the movie. Even in what are supposed to be comedic high points in the movie like Violet get shot in the leg with a cross bow. Just seemed to flat line due to the camera angles with in the scene. There were no real memorable moments in this movie, some occasional laugh out loud moments and just a nice story to sit back and enjoy with a glass of wine.

So there you have it and watch this space :)

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.
