I
saw another couple of really good films at the weekend that I would highly
recommend, both very different, but equally enjoyable.
The Conjuring
If
you like jumpy films, then this is for you.
I can’t say that it was scary, scary, but it certainly made you
jump. I actually found it really amusing
watching the people in front of me jump as much as I did – in fact, I can’t
remember the last time that a film had such a consistent ‘jump factor’!
Based
on a true story and set in the 1970’s (don’t be put off by that), this film
tells the tale of a family who move into their new house only to be plagued by
evil spirits. They approach two
paranormal investigators who help them to confront a powerful demonic entity in
the most terrifying ordeal of their careers.
I
love this type of film and whilst the story was no different from all the other
‘haunting’ films, it was very well done. The tempo was kept up throughout the
film (as where the scares!) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely worth a watch, here’s the trailer…
The
Heat
I
loved this too, but for totally different reasons … it really made me laugh and
brought together a brilliant partnership in Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy
(I’ve loved her ever since Bridesmaids – I still laugh out loud every time I
see that film … I think she’s fabulous).
Sandra
Bullock plays a straight laced FBI officer hell bent on promotion with a
reputation for being super arrogant and super-efficient finds herself teamed up
with the exact opposite, a foul mouthed, risk taking, street smart cop with a
very short fuse. Neither has ever had a
partner and when they both find themselves in the unhappy position of having to
work together, sparks fly.
This
was funny from start to finish. Melissa
McCarthy was brilliant – her comic timing next to Sandra Bullock’s ‘straight
man’ persona was a double act made in film heaven. If you fancy a light hearted giggle (but
don’t mind oodles of foul language!) and are a fan of films like Bridesmaids,
then The Heat is for you. Here’s the
trailer… (It contains swearing - Including the F Bomb!!! Lots of F Bombs!)...
Right
lovelies, things to do, people to see ... more dating tales tomorrow. Until then, be fabulous!
Lots
of love
