Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes
Just seen this prequel to the 'Planet Of The Apes' and have got to say well worth the Cinema ticket stump. Mind you the best acting award in this film has to go to 'Caesar' the Chimp. Although the film, effects and direction of this movie were fluid and entertaining from start to finish, the acting lacked script but not important for a movie of this genre. Caesar the chimp was a science lab offspring that was carrying a viral gene that has momentarily a possible cure for Alzheimer's disease. But the chimp and his buddy's end up getting smarter and evolution takes hold within a blink of an eye. So now is not the time to say "here chimp chimp, get back on your lead".

Super 8
Well what a disappointing but average film. Steven Spielberg keeps putting his name to almost every new film that comes out lately. Well don't be fooled by who the the Producer or Co-Producer is, because like this film they are only throwing ideas of nostalgic content into a salad bowl and tossing it on a plate. The First 30 Minutes were interesting and main highlight is shown in this official trailer which happens at the start of this well anticipated but over optimistic film. There was nothing super about this film, storyline all over the place that does not run fluidly throughout.

Bridesmaids
Yes! They done it a chick-flick that the both of us can watch, well not much of a chick-flick but a hilarious refreshing comedy that just happens to have bridesmaids in it. Although the film should be called 'Maid of Honours Fight to the Death...This film made us laugh from start to finish but diminishing towards the end. The other bridesmaids are sort of sidelined in this film apart from one other crazed but funny bridesmaid for whom steal's the lime light, which was not a bad thing at all.

I agree, very mediocre film, I was expecting a blockbuster. Was disappointed with this generic alien yarn. Nothing that hasn't been done before and better.
ReplyDeleteNo real story there when you put it side by side to films such as E.T, Close Encounters of The Third Kind and Aliens. And with today's Tech should bring about much better Movies, Effects and Scripts.
