Film Review: The Proposal

Most of my regular readers will know that i have an unhealthy desire to be Ryan Reynolds and have something of a man crush for him (http://toheadspace.blogspot.com/2009/05/adams-corner-2-man-crush-ok-or-gay.html)

So, I entered this viewing with high expectations and I have to admit I was slightly disappointed.

The acting by Bullock and Reynolds is superb (especially the later, and thats without bias) they perform their roles perfectly and have great chemistry and comic timing on screen. There are some immensely funny moments in the film, but you can see them coming a mile off.

That tends to be a running theme, the script is entirely predictable from start to finish. This isn't always a problem but it makes it very difficult to make a good film this way as it has to be done perfectly well so the viewer isnt disappointed when they see what they were expecting.

There are no twists, in fact the opposite, they appear to build a potential twist only to discard the very idea. Which could be construed as a twist itself? Confused? I was also.

The film lacks substance, its quite an interesting idea but not enough to make a great film out of. That being said, it was enjoyably watchable and will be a hit for dating couples across the country. I'd have this film around 7.0/10.

Hopefully, Reynolds next piece of work will have a behind camera staff worthy of his talents.

Film Review: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I was slightly apprehensive about watching this film as I am out of touch with the series and stopped reading after the 5th book (which was a total struggle as far as keeping my attentions was concerned).

Nevertheless, swayed by the fact I was seeing the film at IMAX and the first few scenes being 3D I decided to jump on the Potter bandwagon.

The 3D scenes were incredible. They showed trailers for a up and coming animated remake of 'A Christmas Carol' starring Jim (I hate you) Carrey and it was simply amazing. Definitely the future of cinema. They have the ability to terrify audiences as they can make it appear the characters are touching you.

Very difficult to explain, but check it out. Although the glasses make you look ridiculous!

As for the actual film, I found some parts easy to remember from the books, but the general mood of the film is slightly lost if you haven't been keeping up and refreshed. There is relatively little action and when there is it somehow feels a little forced.

Maybe its just me but i can't help but burst out laughing when Dumbledore shouts "Get out your wand, Harry!".

There is also a sudden increase in the amount of love scenes in this film compared to the previous ones, to reflect the characters maturation towards adulthood. However, its all very tame as to appease those younger viewers, so like some other parts of the film, feels a little half hearted.

Harry Potter fans will enjoy it but it will be nobody's favourite. Never going to rock anyone's world but a nice way to spend 3 hours if theres very little on. I'd give the film a 7.2/10

Long Time No See

I don't know what I'm going to write about other than complain about the fact I haven't been posting much. Which is slightly ironic as the reason for lack of posting comes through the very fact I have little to complain about currently.

I guess you could say i'm content.

I may have found a job (its not 100% yet), I may have found a special person (it's not 100% there yet), I may have completed my second year of university at a higher standard than I predicted I would (not 100% finished). I may have earned a solid starting spot in my football team for the year (not 100% there yet...you get the theme).

I'm quietly confident about the rest of 2009.

No doubt some of these will go wrong and as always I will come plummeting down to earth, but its nice to feel floaty now and again.

Despite a few blips 2009 is continuing to be the best year of my life.

:D

Film Review: Twilight

I have to admit I wasn't looking forward to this film, it took a lot of arm bending to get me to actually rent it, but i'm glad I did. Mostly out of jealous over the fact most of the female species seem to be in love with every male cast member, I seemed to feel contempt for Edward Cullen before ever seeing the character. Despite this, I even felt compassion for him, the story and the irresistible charm with which he demonstrates.

I'm not usually into these fairytale style fantasies but the story moves with pace and is highly absorbing. One ponders many questions and like any good film, these seem to be answered minutes after this original thought.

One can tell this film is a book adaptation as the main story is the strongest aspect. The cinematic sequences are quite impressive for a medium to low budget film, and the relatively unknown cast have shot to stardom for their acting skills equally to their perfect looks.

The script could have been improved upon and some of the effects seem to be slightly unimaginative and cheap, but this is forgivable when the characters are so believable.

I'd rate this film at 8.1/10, which is even more impressive when considering that I was hesitant about even entertaining the idea of watching the film. Definitely enjoyable for most.
