THE DEATH AND LIFE OF CHARLIE ST CLOUD
19th Oct 2010 (12A)
Director: Burr Steers
Verdict: Looking back on it, I really liked this film. When it began and the brothers were being sickly sweet with one another, I was praying it was going to improve and I’m happy to say that it did. I found some parts predictable but at other times I was genuinely quite spooked and moved. I thought Zac Efron’s performance (and appearance!) was impressive and I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves sometimes. I’m quite sure it deserves to be four stars but it’s definitely worthy of three and a half. I really hope that in the future, Efron can play more respected roles.

22nd Oct 2010 (12A)
Director: Robert Schwentke
Verdict: I was really impressed with this film because I thought it would be a typical action movie which I would not enjoy, however I liked the idea of the older and retired action heroes. I normally really dislike Bruce Willis but he wasn’t too bad in this film! I was debating with myself whether to give it four stars but I decided against it because it still didn’t make me what to buy the film on DVD. I did think it was a bit far fetched that Willis’ love interest still wanted to be with him in the end but I won’t think too much into it.
BURKE AND HARE
27th Oct 2010 (15)
Director: John Landis
Verdict: I wasn’t too hyped about going to see this but I felt like I hadn’t been to the cinema in a while and I had withdrawal symptoms. But it’s safe to say that I really shouldn’t have bothered. I wouldn’t need to use two hands to count the amount of times I actually laughed and I found it quite embarrassing at times when it was obvious they were trying to make the audience laugh but no one did. After looking Landis up, I learnt that he is quite an old director and I have come to the conclusion that he must have lost his touch. Sorry!
