Another week, a few more quick reviews
Dante’s Inferno Animated Epic *** This is a nice tie into the game, a great vision of hell and all the different versions look cool, some very nice anime shorts.
Outlander *** When I heard that it was set in 708AD and then an alien crash lands on earth bringing with him an alien beast, I was like brilliant, and now I wonder why I would even think that!! Not awful, but no where near brilliant, and two very under used actors, John Hurt and Ron Pearlman. Maybe also a bit to long.
Paper Heart ***1/2 Quirky, funny, sweet and good mix of mock and real documentary. Some cool puppet scenes too.
An Education **** I understand now why she won the Bafta. A lovely vision of the 60’s and the mistakes people make.
Lovely Bones *** I felt something was missing but some great acting, mainly going to the killer, he was very creepy. Also the heaven parts seemed a bit pointless.

Reviews of the week
I have decided to do quick movie reviews of the films I have seen, just because I thought it would be fun. The reviews are only quick thoughts.
Princess and the Frog **** A classic Disney fairy tale, very close to the Disney features of the 90’s. Even bringing back memories from the Jungle Book. Great comedy animal characters, and some very catchy tunes!
Youth in Revolt *** A great performance from Michael Cera, comes off well as a geek turned rebel 16 year old, also sporting some funny one liners. The rest of the cast is pretty good, but something really seems missing. And it did not end the way I wanted it too, but that is me being picky.
Wolfman *** A great cast, who just do not seem to be bothered and not living up to their roles as ACTORS! Very gruesome in parts and lives up to its B movie name. Some great bits in it, mainly the Wolfman bits.
I Love You, Beth Cooper *** An average teen movie, no better American Pie, but better then Road Trip.
Valentine’s Day *** Poor man’s Love Actually.
A Single Man **** Was taken in by the trailer, and then wowed by the film. Great acting, colour scheme, mise en scene, costume design, sound design and hands down (I think maybe even Oscar winning) performance by Colin Firth.
Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief ***1/2 This was a fun, enjoyable action/adventure. Fast paced story, which has plenty of monsters, gods and cool set pieces. Also the light connections to history/myths are cool. So much better then the Narnia films, and even better then a few of the Potter films. I hope for more of Percy Jackson.
