FAR TOO LONG

I really need to apoligise for my lack of posting recently, I have been so busy with university work. I am afraid I have decided to make this post very brief because a lot of films are coming out in the next week which I am really looking forward to so I thought I better get the long awaited reviews out the way. I apoligise in advance for how summarised these reviews are. I really hope to make my future posts better. Thanks for reading!

THE KING'S SPEECH
13th Jan 2010 (12A)

Director: Tom Hopper
Verdict: Although I did like this film, I did think that it would be much better suited to the older generation, as (obviously) not too much happens other than the King trying to speak properly! I did think that Colin Firth's performance was particularly good in this film and I really think he deserves his recent Oscar nomination. However, I would say I am slightly apprehensive about the film winning all its Oscar nominations as there are over ten! Overall a good film but not one to watch if you love an action filled movie.

THE GREEN HORNET 3D
15th Jan 2010 (12A)

Director: Michael Gondry
Verdict: I wasn't particularly looking forward to this film if I were to be honest because I get slightly irritated by the actor Seth Rogan. I find his characters all the same and he grates on me a greal deal. I would say he still didn't change my mind but overall I thought the film was pretty good. I thought his partner, Jay Chou was a really great actor and his character was brilliant. The action was just enough for me and at some moments in the film, I was really laughing hard. I would say that it does take a while to get funny but there is a moment in the film where it seems to suddenly get good. I would recommend this film (although I'm not even sure it's still out in the cinema...oops)! I would also like to mention that I only just remembered it was 3D when I had looked it up so that is something I would add...the 3D aspect was VERY poor.

MORNING GLORY
22nd Jan 2010 (12A)

Director: Roger Michell
Verdict: As I have stated before in my reviews, I really love a good 'rom-com' and this didn't disappoint. I would say there was more 'com' and 'rom' which is why I haven't given it slightly more stars. However, that would probably attract some people, particularly men. I thought Rachel McAdams was really good in her role and I especially loved the role which Harrison Ford played as he created the most laughs and it was completely different to his other roles. There are many moments in the film where I couldn't stop laughing which is why I have given it a high rating because recently I haven't felt many films have been able to humour me as much as they should.

THE DILEMMA
27th Jan 2010 (12A)

Director: Ron Howard
Verdict: I would say quite honestly that I probably only went to see this film because there wasn't much else on! I really wouldn't recommend this film because it did not make me laugh more than a few times and I didn't really see the point of the whole story. It seems like it's building up to this really big thing when it doesn't really come to much (in my opinion). I have completely confirmed my true dislike for Vince Vaughn as I don't think I've ever seen him play a serious role (but maybe he has). Overall pretty rubbish!
