So
the other two films that I saw this weekend were ‘The Watch’ and ‘A few Best
Men’.
Firstly,
‘The Watch’ ... dreadful, absolutely dreadful.
There were a few funny bits but really, just about the worst film I’ve
seen this year. I doubt it could
actually get any worse and I even considered walking out, but couldn’t be bothered...
I was warm and enjoying my chocolate limes.
The
film stars Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn and I guess potentially could have been
really good, but it was dire. The
premise ... aliens keep killing people and stealing their skin so that they
look human. They were trying to set up a
signal back to their home planet which would start an invasion on Earth and they
were trying to send the signal from a Costco store (that was produce placement
on a whole different level). Why
Costco? I have no idea, other than the
fact that they probably agreed to pay the most for the privilege. Here’s the trailer ... that’s all you need to
see.
Secondly
I saw ‘A Few Best Men’ which wasn’t brilliant but was much better than The
Watch. There were funny bits and
downright cringe worthy bits. The
premise ... a guy meets a girl on holiday and they decide to get married, she
lives in Australia and he takes his best friends over to support him at the
wedding (he’s an orphan and has no family).
Her father happens to be a Senator and has invited lots of important
people to the wedding and as you’d probably imagine, mayhem ensues.
It
stars Xavier Samuel (him from the last Twilight films), Oliver Newton-John (who
was just terrible) plays the bride’s mother and a few other actors that you’ve
seen in British films but don’t really know their names.
In
summary, I definitely can’t say it’s the best film I’ve seen recently (all a
bit too silly for me) but OK if you’ve seen everything else and definitely
better than The Watch. Here’s the
trailer.
Right
lovelies, that’s it for now. See you
soon and be fabulous.
Lots
of love
