Three
more reviews for you ... well, two and a half really. I saw ‘Killing Them Softly on Saturday
afternoon. It was a pretty stella cast
with Brad Pitt (yum, or well, not really yum in this – he plays a sleazy hit
may ... acted very well though it has to be said!), Ray Liotta (he hasn’t aged
well ... very craggy looking! I loved
him in Goodfellas, that was one of my favourite films back in the day) and
James Gandolfini (him off the Sopranos – used to love that series).
The
story, two guys who think they’re smart rob a Mob protected card game causing
the local criminal economy to collapse.
The film then follows their stories as a mob hit man tracks them
down. I’m not sure if I loved it ... it
was good ... just a bit boring in places (very gory shootings too ... ewwwwww).
Here’s the trailer...
Then
we have ‘The Imposter’. I watched it
straight after Killing Them Softly, not because I particularly wanted to see it
but because I was bored and wasn’t ready to go home. I should have been a bit dubious about it
because I hadn’t seen any trailers for it ... now I know why. It was so boring that I fell asleep on and
off for about an hour of it – the bits I did see where astonishingly poor!
So,
the story (I had to look on Flixster for some of this) ... The imposter is a
chilling factual thriller (I didn’t see anything chilling or thrilling about
it), that chronicles the story of a 13 year old boy who disappears without a
trace from San Antonio in 1994. Three
years later a boy appears claiming to be the one that disappeared (although
quite why anyone believed it is beyond me because the original kid was
blonde/blue eyed whilst this person spoke with a Mexican accent and had dark
hair/dark eyes ... go figure!). The film
consisted of a series of interviews with the family and the imposter.
In
summary, it was boring as hell and sucked to high heaven ... to be avoided at
all costs. I’m not even going to post a
trailer because I don’t want you see it (I hate to think of anyone losing their
money) and think it may be good and want to see it! I actually walked out which hasn’t happened
since I stumbled upon a slasher movie a few years ago (without realising it was
a slasher movie!).
Well yesterday, I
said that I’d review The Campaign with Will Farrell. I’ve got to be honest, sometimes I’m not that
enamoured with Will Farrell, I think his films can be childish and cringe
worthy, however, I quite liked this one.
I think that was mainly to do with the fantastic character played by
Zach Galifianakis (the guy from the Hangover that causes all the
problems). His character alone is worth
the entry price.
So, the story ...
Long Term congressman (Farrell) is challenged by an unsophisticated, Marty
Huggins (Zach) and backed by unscrupulous benefactors the race to win the
election takes some unusual twists and turns.
It’s quite rude in places (which I think probably makes it funnier
because you’re not always expecting it) but definitely worth a watch. I actually laughed out loud quite a few times
and that doesn’t happen in the cinema on my own very often!
Here’s the trailer,
watch out for Zach’s walk, it’s actually quite hilarious!
There
are lots of good movies coming up. You
know how I love a good psychological horror, well here’s one that I really want
to see. It’s called ‘Sinister’ and the
trailer looks amazing!
Right
lovelies, that's me for another day. I'll be back with more dating tales soon.
Until then, be fabulous.
Lots
of love
