Movie Reviews
I think I OD’ed on Movies the last couple of weeks, here’s a brief review of some of them:
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Chamber of Azkhaban - WHAT? eh? all of ‘em are overlong and got switched off halfway through.
The Polar Express - starring Tom Hanks, Tom Hanks and Tom Hanks. Oh, and Produced By Tom Hanks.
Lemony Snicket - Great Fun. Jim Carrey doing what he does best, weird voices and funny faces.
After the Sunset - Meh. Best line:
Woody Harrelson: It’s ok to be happy to see me. Just because you’re English doesn’t mean you need to hide your emotions.
Pierce Brosnan: I’m Irish. We let people know how we feel. Now fuck off.
Five Children and It - Narnia meets Lemony Snicket. Eddie Izzard was great as the sand fairy.
The Parent Trap - The remake with Lindsay bleedin’ Lohan although the original is just as annoying. Look, I was hungover and tired ok? I had no energy to change the channel.
Rebecca - Larry Olivier and Joan Fontaine, props to BBC2 matinees.
Ghandi - Watched this again yesterday and after three hours of sitting through the entire thing missed the LAST TWO MINUTES!! I got up and left the room just as he got shot.
Also tried watching The Maltese Falcon yesterday afternoon but the dogs were going nuts so I had to keep throwing water on ‘em and missed whole chunks of it.
I’m quite fond of watching the parent trap when I’m tired and hungover. The remake even. I may need help.
