Today I gave something up, two things in fact. The first, fast food, which I give up most years, but have only managed to complete the whole 40 days without the greasy food once! The second is a thing which eats away at my life and seems to hold me back from doing anything, that evil doer would be that little social website called facebook. And already with the latter, I have been tempted but at the same time I feel so free. I feel a weight has been lifted off me and I hope to god I can hold it out to the end of the 40 days!
I also hope that the hours I would normally waste on checking my 3 housemate’s status instead of walking a couple of feet to see how they are, I will do a load more blogging! I enjoy doing it so much, but I’m a silly fat man and instead of doing it I’m normally looking to see if anyone has posted anything on the “I am Tim” site in the last 2 seconds! So change must, nah, WILL happen.
Ok, onto the List of Films. Since starting the challenge a while back now I have watched another 5 of the films and I will now give you a quick review of each.
“Best in Show” – A very funny Mockumentary. Creating some amazing characters, who all brilliantly echo the dogs they are presenting at the Dog Show they are attending. Short and very snappy, so good for a quick watch. ****
“Moonwalker” – Emmmmm, well…….. All I can really say about this is that I got it about 3 years ago now, after wanting it for years and remembering how much I loved it as a child. It shows at the time how much power Michael Jackson had, and after reading an article in empire, released the day after I watched it (I found that spooky not sure why!) it is made very clear that he had a load of money and a very big ego! From the opening scene of masses of girls crying over him to the scene where he is being chased by very scary fans, it is clear that Jackson got his own way! It is boring and pointless, just a load of silly and stupid music shorts stringed together badly! *
“After the Sunset” – “From the director of Rush Hour and Red Dragon” two films I very much like. So as I added this to my pile of 4 for a 10er, I thought “this will be ok”. And I could not have used a better word, “Ok” is all I have to say about this. It is avenge, nothing different and nothing new. ***
“Underworld: Evolution” – I have never seen the first one (maybe not a great start) but the flashbacks just about make it clear what happened. The only problem I had with this was the very TV/Video game CGI, and even video games have better CGI these days (check out the new Batman trailer). Apart from that I liked the storyline and liked the action scenes. ***
“Annie Hall” – Ok, I admit it, I was a film student and it was not till 2 years after finishing my degree that I watched this. I liked it, it was funny and the structure was very impressive. I would not rush to watch it again, but it would be something that I’m pleased to have in my collection. *** ½
So till the next time, which I hope is very soon, take care.
