1. Prometheus (2012)

    I liked it even though I have to shamefully admit that I slept for about 10 minutes of it but I had had a really long and busy day (bhhh I hate this stupid habit so much.. When I just physically can’t keep my eyes open.. Oh well)

    It was often gooey and gross in a very cool and awesome kinda way. I loved the cast except for Idris Elba who annoys me for some reason in everything (haven’t watched Wire, so don’t know about that).

    Had a fun time at the screening with Splash and bf and my Bounty milkshake hehehe.

    And I absolutely loved the ending! Even though the whole film just made you have more and more questions (classic Lost writers’ move I guess).

    After the showing a couple of Marlon’s friends (nephews even?) stayed around and we were discussing it. But the first thing the crazy religious loonies would say about Sir Ridley Scott’s film was “I AIN’T COME FROM NO ALIENS YO!”. Bhhhhhhhh… Cuz yea, as it’s stated it was a documentary and the whole truth about everything. I get so frustrated I don’t even say anything anymore.. I have more intelligence in my shoe laces.. /rant

     
  2. Flight of the Conchords (2007 TV series)

    Probably just the greatest comedy series ever made nbd.. It’s ridiculous how much they can make you laugh, these Bret and Jemaine. Why oh why are they not touring at the moment nooooo I can’t even omgomg…
    One who hasn’t watched this, has not lived. Period.

     
  3. Silent House (2011)

    I the first 5 minutes all I could think was “oh come on, I’m really staring to hate this handheld camera gimmick!”. But then I realised that hey, they never cut the scene and the camera just flows along with the characters and action and I thought that it was quite awesome. Obviously not actually just one shot but it fit together really well. Amazing how well they planned and mapped it, so yea big ups for that (never noticed one reel change heh..).
    The film was also really intense and I was freaking out and biting my nails for the most of it. The ending was a bit of a let down imho. Was expecting a bad horror but got a thrilling drama instead. Not bad. Don’t understand the 5.4 on imdb tbh..

     
  4. We Bought A Zoo (2011)

    Even though I watched it with only half of concentration, I really liked it. It was sweet and positive and cute and funny. With loads of cuddly animals. Very uplifting and heart warming. I was stupid to miss it in the cinemas but at least I saw it now.

     
  5. Cabin in the Woods (2011)

    Thoroughly enjoyable hahaha! Insane film, how the hell did anyone even think of it?! It was fun to watch, went quickly and scared me just enough.
    Lesson of the day: smoke weed so they can’t brainwash you and murder you in the most gory way.

     
  6. Titanic 3D (1997)

    Yea, I’m a big fat romantic girly girl and I think it’s a beauuuutiful film and I love watching it every time it’s on *iregretnothingchicken*
    Tbh I’ve always felt more sorry for the minor characters (like the old couple kissing in the bed, the captain, the little kids with their mom etc) than Jack and Rose, but oh well..
    Didn’t really notice the 3D, only in some scenes. But yea, it was cool to watch it on the big screen, I never did when it was out originally (I was only 11) and I’ve seen it just from the tv.

     
  7. The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! (2012)

    Love Aardman anyway, so without any surprise loved this one as well. All the usual goodness: heartwarming story, clever jokes and the most wonderful character designs! Hah, an albino pirate! A girl pirate with fake beard! Polly the dodo! Oh so brilliant! Didn’t care much for the 3D, didn’t give it anything extra.

     
  8. Wrath of the Titans (2012)

    I did however like this heh. Never watched the first one and only heard bad things about it so I didn’t expect much. But it was quite cool. Retarded as well but still. The best bit was the Cracken joke from Bill Nighy which I appreciated. Lalala can’t remember much else.

     
  9. Mirror Mirror (2012)

    Watched it ages ago. Didn’t want to at all bit I ended up liking it hmm.. Julia Roberts was hilarious and I laughed quite a bit. Plus it was pleasing to the eye. Has such a bad score on imdb though.. Liked the Bollywood-like song and dance number in the end as well hehe.

     
  10. 21 Jump Street (2012)

    I wasn’t interested at all and I really hate Jonah Hill’s face (probably have mentioned it before) but oh my was this awesome! From the very beginning with the Eminem music till the crazy-ass credits. And Jonah Hill didn’t actually bother me so much, he was in fact funny. The film itself was hilarious, so ironic and sarcastic, so clever and quick-witted. Johnny’s cameo couldn’t have been done better, so yea JH, respect for the writing and all that jazz.
    This was like the best thing since Superbad and that came out aaaaages ago. Definitely a source of out-of-the-cinema jokes.

     
  11. Contraband (2012)

    I was expecting something uninteresting and dull but heey it was great fun! Intense and thrilling, great light entertainment. Watched it Wed night after the traumatising Devil Inside between 12-2am and I was wide awake throughout the film, so that’s something.

     
  12. The Secret Policeman’s Ball 2012 (Channel 4)

    Lots of comedians do their thing for Amnesty International in New York.
    My favourites were Russell Brand and Eddie Izzard. Both incredibly clever, educated and insightful jokesters. Hated Sarah Silverman though. She was annoying and painfully unfunny. Jimmy Carr did jokes I’m sure he’s done before..

     
  13. Cleanskin (2012)

    I wasn’t expecting much but I really really enjoyed this. It was so brutally violent that it made me look away a few times (a woman kicked in the back was just way too much) but hey that’s a good thing that a film would provoke a strong reaction.
    I got really into the story and like how everything was played out. It pretty much covered my views on the serious subject of terrorism and anti-terrorism. That there are no good guys ad bad guys, no black and white, nothing is exactly what it seems to be. There are always more powerful and corrupt guys behind powerful and corrupt guys. And the ones who suffer and do the dirty work are never told the whole story.
    So yep, this film represented these ideas extremely well and was interesting to watch. Sean Bean was great as were the other actors.

     
  14. Prisoners Wives (TV series 2012)

    What a hidden little gem! I’m slightly annoyed there are no pictures or trivia or discussion about it on IMDb (since when does this happen?).
    I started to watch it because of a BBC Breakfast interview I saw with the main actress and the creator of the show. Yea, I’m quite easily influenced.. Downton Abbey had just finished and this seemed an interesting enough series from a British HD channel.
    Anyway the show is only 6 eps long so it doesn’t take much time to go trough. At first I wasn’t that excited about it, but the finale was absolutely brilliant! The way they ended things with each of the characters was so moving and clever, I was blown away. Half of it was heart breaking, the other half inspiring, and soooo well written and acted (especially parts with the rich woman’s house being broken into, and the main girl going to the prison with the baby for the first/last time)
    The main girl was such a cutie as well!
    A really really great show worth a watch. I wish they made another season (if it wasn’t just a mini-series which I know it is)

     
  15. A Better Life (2011)

    Oh no it broke my heart within the first 5 minutes and after that it just kept breaking it into smaller and smaller pieces! Such a beautiful and sad film! Also the sweetest and most heart warming film. All the actors played so well, especially Demian Bichir. Get ALL the emotions watching this film! Feel like dying in the final scene between the father and son but then the ending was so full of hope and sunny and happy.
    Loved it oh so much!
