The Dictator

This is the type of movie that one is going to love or really hate.

For me it was the former; I thought it was funny and some of the bits were indeed very funny and made me gag.

I agree with some reviews in that it was seen as quite silly and it lacked a proper story, but come on, we are talking about Sacha Baron Cohen...hardly going to be a story is there? LOL

All In Good Time

Sorry for the lack of posts. My new job has been hogging my time!

Anyhow, this was an english hindi film shot in the UK if you know what I mean?!

It touched on a subject matter which was quite unique and not seen or done before. It was very funny and quite engaging. I felt however that the "sexual" aspect of the story was a little over the top and probably spoiled the otherwise very good drama.

Ekk Main Aur Ekk Tu

...or One You and One Me.

A bollywood romantic comedy starring the unlikely pairing of Imran Khan and Bebo (Kareena Kapoor).

A typical story for me; but the ending is a break from the norm of usual bollywood endings, which I found a little surprising.

The best thing of the movie is the chemistry between the 2 which I think really worked. They should do more movies together.

I wasn't overly impressed with the music however; thought it was very average.

Safe

Another Jason Statham fast paced story.

Has all the usual common items; fast car chases, guns, kicks and cheesy lines.

One thing I did find surprising was the amount of subtitles; it could nearly pass as a foreign film there are that many!

I did not find the story that gripping; but then again, Jason Statham movies aren't really there for the story; its all about the action!

I wish there was more character development between the 2 main characters.

Not bad.

I Stand Alone

Disturbing french movie which plays on your mind.

Most of the movie is narrated meaning there is very little dialogue. There are a lot of subtitles to take in which spoil the enjoyment a little.

I thought it was well made, but felt at times that it was a little slow.

There was one shocking moment in it; other than that it is not that painful to watch.

Not bad, but i've seen better.

Avengers Assemble

A lot of hype and talk surrounding this movie. However, I found it overdrawn and just too long. Loki does not really seem to be a really bad guy.

Did not really see what the fuss was all about. In my opinion, a very mediocre movie. I cannot understand how it has managed to break so many records - clever marketing it seems...

Feed

An interesting film about a strange fetish; the clue is in the title.

I feel the movie had a lot of potential but the most was not made out of it. Acting performances were not the best so it was hard to sympathise with the characters.

Not as gross as I was expecting; doesn't make you faint!

Suburb Murder

Sorry for the lack of posts over the last few days.

This was a crazy low budget Chinese Cat III film which was quite tame comparing to some of the stuff I've already seen.

The plot was silly and effects were not very realistic. Not the best of story lines either.

One to avoid.
