366 in 366

Film No. 40 Heathers
classic, absolutely love this film, clever, well acted and painfully funny
Film No. 41 Fools Rush In
very very average rom com, saved by a wonderful turn by the quite striking salma heyak.
Film No. 42 The Long Kiss Goodnight
mindless and quite frankly ridiculous action film about a supposedly dead spy with amnesia.
the only thing is it works, brilliantly! samuel l jakcson is the perfect comic foil to geena davis`s recovering spy killing machine. over the top stunts, lots of explosions and some cracking dialogue elevate this above a lot of other bad hollywood action junk.
Film No. 43 Childs Play
the first of the highly controversial series of slasher films about the possessed doll who kills his owners family.
before the humour of the later films kicked in this was pitched as a straight forward horror, and it succeeds for the most part, the only downside is that with the humour of the later films being such a strong point in their appeal, and despite some very inventive deaths this still feels a bit flat in comparison.
Film No. 44 The Breed
bland and uninspiring vampire film about a vampire conspiracy to overtake the world, is there any other vamp films being made these days?
Film No. 45 Dr No
classic bond that set the standard and sooo many of the traditions for the series to follow.
and of course THAT bikini!
Film No. 46 Buried
ryan reynolds buried in a box in the desert, for an hour and a half. will he get out? why is he there?
do any of us care?
nope didnt think so either. its a shame really because the last 20 minutes of this film are exceptionally well put together, its just a shame the first 70 minutes are awful.
Film No. 47 The History Boys
awful, just plain awful.
the acting was great but this overly pretentious story is just so so so so boring, add in the acceptance of a kiddy fiddling teacher?!?!?!? and its all just a little odd and uncomfortable.
