Who doesn't like Emily Blunt?
I like her a lot, but I felt she was not the right sort of character to be in this movie. It was produced by Jason Segel who was her co-star and was the "star" of the show. This was HIS film!
Some very funny comic moments including the sesame street scene. Lots of blatant moments which ruined it a little for me; a lack of subtlety in my opinion.
A tad over long, but I didn't find it boring. Others could though...

Fast Girls
British movie about a hopeful girls team who attempt to win Gold for the UK in the relay game.
Not a classic game by all means, but something quite different and unusual.
Acting performances were strong and the movie release was timed well especially with the London Olympics just round the corner.
Nice, feel-good film with plenty of grit!

Teri Meri Kahaani
Was expecting big things from this movie.
Instead it was quite average. Tried and tested formula used yet again with a slight difference.
Must say I was impressed with the music and Shahid Kapoor. However, this movie did no wonders for Priyanka Chopra's career. She was not put through any tests by the director it seems!
I guess it will be a long wait to the next bollywood film!

21 Jump Street
Had a rubbish day, so felt like some laughs so saw the above.
I really like Jonah Hill and this was surprisingly good. For me though, I thought Channing Tatum found his forte; he did exceedingly well in a comical role.
Some big loud laughs and it was not even crude or distasteful. Ice Cube was cool!
OK, it got a little bit silly towards the end, but the surprise cameo from Johnny Depp was a nice touch, especially as he was involved in the original series on which this movie was based!

Rock Of Ages
Not really might type of movie to be honest. I tagged along with my friend who really wanted to watch it and actually, I secretly liked the trailer; cast seemed very good!
The story was infact, quite good and light hearted. The two main leads I had not seen before and I thought they were quite talented.
Tom Cruise was very vivid and I just wish we saw more of Alec Baldwin. Can't believe how much Catherine Zeta Jones has aged!
Highly entertaining, and the songs are brilliant; really reminds of you of the 80s.

Prometheus 3D
The only reason I saw this in 3D was there was only 2 showings during the day which I could not get to so had no option. I find wearing the glasses incredibly uncomfortable as you know!
Well, the opening effects were really good, but they slowly lost their charm and there was no 3D fun yet again. It seems a rip off to pay these prices if there are not going to be any effects!
The story was alright I suppose. Again I found Charlize Theron a little bland. None of the other actors really stood out either; they were all "wooden."
Seems like the ending has been left open for a sequel...don't you hate it when they do that?

Snow White And The Huntsman
Been seeing the trailers for over 6 months and was quite looking forward to seeing the "darkness" in this tale like we say in Alice In Wonderland recently.
I thought the visual effects were really good, but the problem obviously with the movie is knowing what the ending is going to be. I felt there could have been a better choice for Snow White.
I had totally forgotton about the dwarfs and when they arrived in the movie, the screen burst into life.
I felt Charlize Theron was a little OTT.
Overall not bad. 6.5
