Paul (2010) Second Watch

I got a chance to watch this film on DVD just after it came out and it is still as funny the second time around, you can see my original thoughts on it here. I think that this is so far my film of the year and will take a lot of beating, the comedy and chemistry between Nick Frost, Simon Pegg and "Paul" is brilliant. The timing and the comedy is phenomenal and the sci-fi references within the film are just great I found more the second time I watched it. Apparently according to Mark Kermode the film was toned down for a more mainstream audience. If this is the case I hope that the shot extra footage that they could them make a "Directors Cut" to show the film how they wanted it.

I thought that the film had a lot of references in it and I am sure I missed a few and would like to see a definitive list put out by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost so that we can see what we have missed. I am comfortable getting most of them however there are a few that go so far over my head I do not even know where they come from at all.

This is a total recommend 5 stars of comedy gold and I think that even if you are not a sci-fi film fan then you will still get a lot from this film, I look forward to seeing it again and again in the next few years.

Blind Side (2009) (2nd Review)

DVD February 2011

What can I say, I love this film, it is the first film I took my now Fiancee to go and see and I got it for her on our first Christmas together and it is a film I have now had the pleasure of watching 3 times.

Every time I see it I enjoy it just as much, the tears flow and the laughs come and it you know even though this is based on a true story and i usually mark it down for that I cannot mark this film down for anything. Considering the content and my usual kind of movies, horror, sci-fi and fantasy I cannot say anything bad about this film.

I give an interesting detailed view here, this was under the old format where I tried to link all over the place but I am now a year down the line and still I will watch this film amny more times in the years to come

5 stars for this film and an insistance that you have to see it at some point.

Limitless (2011) (2nd Review)

Cineworld, Falkirk April 13th.

I have a magical Cineworld Unlimited card that lets me see as many films a month as I want to, I want to use it as often as possible but do enjoy going to the cinema with other people. So when my now future Father in law said he wanted to see this film I was happy to go a long as my ticket was already paid for.

I enjoyed this film the first time and have had bad experiences going to see a film I enjoyed a second time. However this was still as enjoyable, it was fun knowing how it all worked out and looking for the links and leads to the future happenings.

I have to say that there are some critical human flaws shown by the main character that if you are being picky make you think I wouldn't do that, the film does actually address that point in one of his conversations so it works if you are able to pay full attention.

My original thoughts can be found here.

My rating for this film still remains as 4 stars and a must see, enjoyable fun.
