My favourite films of the last few months
I'm a big cinema goer and have been to see quite a few films in recent months. I have forgotten to blog after seeing them so this is my chance to rate them and let you know what I thought about them.
In last place we have Borat. Now, don't get me wrong, I thought this was very entertaining (I especially loved the naked wrestling scene!), but I guess the level of films I've watched lately just puts this at the bottom of the stack. Still well worth seeing in my book especially if you like Borats' humour. The next of Sacha Baron Cohen's characters to have their own film is Bruno, the very camp German fashionista. I do enjoy what that character gets up to, especially this scene from the last series of Ali G:
Next we have Casino Royale. Great film contrary to what I have previously written about Bond in my blog, but then again I knew I would enjoy it anyway! However, it only made number 3 as the amount of product placement got ridiculous. I haven't seen that much brazen product placement since Wayne's World 2! Very exiting and kept me on the edge of my seat for 2 1/2 hours though.
The number 2 spot goes to The Departed. Amazing cast and great action. Kept me hooked for 3 hours and the ending was superb. Can't wait to see this again when it's released on DVD. Want to see the original version too to see how it compares.
Numero uno has to be The Prestige, as I was looking forward to it so much and it didn't disappoint. All actors performed brilliantly and Scarlett Johanson's English accent was pretty darn good for an American! Did figure out the 'hook' quite early on, but still enjoyed it unravel and, just like a good magic trick, couldn't stop talking about it with my boyfriend for hours after.
Films I'm looking forward to seeing are The Holiday, a light romantic comedy set around Christmas which is sure to get me in the holiday spirit. Hollywoodland has also just been released so hoping to catch that soon. Also, Happy Feet, which may I remind you Prince has collaborated on (listen to a sample of the soundtrack here). Looks like a nice family film for Christmas. May also have to see Tenacious D's Pick of Destiny as we're seeing them in concert in December. The film I'm interested in seeing, but can wait until it's DVD release is Jackass Number 2 as it's not vital watching it on a cinema screen!
