Get Him to the Greek
Plot
A record company intern (Hill) is hired to accompany out-of-control British rock
star Aldous Snow (Brand) to a concert at L.A.'s Greek Theater.
Review
For those who don't know this follows on from the film "Forgetting Sarah
Marshall" but this time focuses on Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) from that film.
(Off topic remark: Think Bret Easton Ellis novels with how this franchise is going to work possibly)
Yes this film pictured here is Forgetting Sarah Marshall!!!!!
Well I thought the film was going to be good (As
Brand saved FSM for me) but very quickly died.
It starts off with a great
opening ten minutes where we have a on set report of Aldous Snow music video
"African child" (which is funny as hell) followed by the criicism and failure of
that song around the world. Also the break up with his gf/wife Jackie Q (Rose
Byrne).
Jackie Q video was also funny as hell
But after an hour I start looking to my watch and I'm thinking to
myself "Is the end coming or what" as like with Judd Apatow films in the
past ,towards the end the audiance have to learn a lesson out of this as if we
are all fucking idiots.
The highlight though was the "Jeffery" scene which I
won't ruin for you. Jonah Hill was another negative as well as his character
wasn't well written and Jonah Hill is crap anyway.
Final word.
Decent
film to be fair but ruined towards the end beacuse of Judd Apatow. Exact same
failure as the film "Knocked Up" and he has clearly not learn't from past
mistakes.
Knight and Day
Plot
June Havens (Cameron Diaz) finds her everyday life tangled with that of a secret agent Roy (Tom Cruise) who has
realized he isn't supposed to survive his latest mission. As their campaign to
stay alive stretches across the globe, they soon learn that all they can count
on is each other.
Oh what a surprise it's a film where Tom Cruise is riding a motorcycle again
Review
It was Ok very over the top, dragged on a bit at times and clearly a marmite
film from what I saw.
Thought Cruise and Diaz carried the film well with a very cheesy
script and I have no idea why James Mangold decided to direct this, as I felt
his talent was wasted in this film.
Peter Sarsgaard was good support in it
but Paul Dano was very annoying.
Final word
Average, forgettable and
at times fun with good action scenes but only worth watching once with your
brain firmly switched off.
Machete
Plot
After being betrayed by the organization who hired him, an ex-Federale launches
a brutal rampage of revenge against his former boss.
Hmmm...I wonder why he's called Machete?
Review
I enjoyed it and I was expecting to be disapointed due to a good film trailer
released on the net, that looked like to me they were showing the best parts of
the film.
I was wrong and this film ticked all the boxes for me fun, sexy, fresh
and hilarious. The cast in this is fantastic with Jessica Alba, Lindsey Lohan, Steven Seagal and Robert De Niro all great in it.
Now thats a cast!!!!!!
Thought Robert Rodriguez previous Grindhouse film Planet Terror
was better mind and The Expendales was better than this, but I enjoyed it and
easily passed the time.
Final word
Good fun not a classic but I would watch again if it was on TV.
