The Perks Of Being A Wallflower - A coming of age film with a strong meaning behind it and leaves you realizing that you have to appreciate those around you and the little things in life. An oustanding film.
Today I watched two okay films. Reasonable if not spectacular on each time.
This Means War - a little too much romcom, a little short on action for me. I like Tom Hardy and Chris Pine, so it was reasonably entertaining, and there were a few witty scenes thrown in there.
Olympus Has Fallen - Not since the USSR fell has Hollywood had an all-round evil nation to blame everything on. Fortunately, the new North Korea is filling this space nicely. Gerard Butler kills everything whilst suffering only cuts and bruises in events that would kill most mortals. And he kicks some north korean ass. Fairly fun, a couple of decent one-liners in the script, but the action sequences are all a little jerky and dynamic for my liking - too close to triggering motion sickness in some scenes.
This looks like it should be good. Great Marriage of a brilliant film maker and a fantastic band.
The Place Beyond The Pines - Really enjoyed it. Great drama with an underlining theme of legacy.
Go watch it but don't expect a happy ending!
Hidden Content
Records are for DJ's - Dan 'The outlaw' Hardy
The Intouchables. Hired it on video.
Loved it.
Iron Man 3. I liked the first one better.
Yeah, personally I thought this one was better than Iron Man 2, but not quite up there with the original. I told my mate that the storyline with the kid had gone all Disney...guess what name was to be seen on the credits?
Did you stay to see the little scene at the end with Mark Ruffalo? That was quite funny.
'Panzaram'
A documentary on the serial killer. That guy is a very interesting case to look at when you are weighing the age old Nature vs Nurture argument. He was one sick bastard, but I suppose had anyone experienced what he did they would have arrived at the same place or would have killed themselves.
It also gave a little insight into the kinds of prisons he was held in...really bad places, hell even the boarding school he went to was bad.
Watched Crash, really clever movie.
Finally watched the Star Trek movie, not the new one in the cinema, and really liked it.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
This reviewer seems to have wanted more from the film ,more seriousness!! Either that or he is pandering to a percentage of his readers expecting some critic.
If he got what he slightly complains about; then the film wouldnt be what it is: delightful,funny and handling a subject that could only be dealt with this way for that outcome.
Not many films I'd watch twice, life is too short, but this is one of them. Easy 8 out of 10 for me but depending on your taste.

Just saw the Evil Dead the other day. I am big into horror films. This one was not too bad. They revolved it around Gore more than psychological scares but if you enjoy horror you will probably enjoy it.
Star Trek
