365 in 365
Film no 29 the cook
a supposedly comedy/horror about a deranged cook who shows up at a female sorority house as their new cook(does this really happen? damn!)and over the course of the film, the weekend we see him hack them up and feed them to each other.
not that any of them would notice as they are either high(apparently everyone in college is these days) or having lesbian sex with each other.
quite clearly this is a film that has been very much designed for guys, considering the vast amount of pointless and gratuitous nudity on display, add in the senseless violence and yeah you have one perfectly designed men only sorta film.
the trouble is you would need to be as high as the idiots in the film to enjoy this lurid garbage.
this film has no redeeming features. its cheap badly made sleazy horror.
bad acting, lazy direction, no scares, no tension, bad FX, more bad acting and a truly terrible soundtrack, actually the sound itself is a massive failure, whoever set up the mics for the cast needs to be hit with bricks as he or she did a terrible job and most of the cast sound as if they are talking to each other from the next room, just awful and another nail in the coffin for this nasty piece of work.
DO NOT WATCH!
Film no 30 The little girl who lives down the lane
this is a very odd film.
not particularly enjoyable either.
a very young jodie foster is very good doing what she does best, but the film was just a bit too odd for me.
as such i really didnt enjoy this one.
Film no 31 Secretary
I love this film!!!!
its brilliant on pretty much every level.
A young lady who has issues with self harm is released from her therapy and let loose into the real world where she needs to learn how to cope and deal with the real world, after discovering she has a knack for typing she applies for a job working for a local lawyer as his secretary.
over the course of several weeks/months its never that clear she develops within the job and the relationship between our 2 leads develops.
despite the slightly suggestive nature of the story and look of the film box, i got some seriously shifty looks when i purchased my copy in my local Asda, at this films core is traditional love story, acknowledged told through some slightly more twisted conventions than usual, but its because of that and the superb performances of the leads that make this film so wonderful to watch.

Film no 26 Identity
Odd little film this, all about a group of people who get stuck in the rain at a very moody and gloomy motel on the highway.
A good cast make good work of the twists and turns of the story as the bodies start to pile up and we begin to wonder who is behind it all and whats their reason for these seemingly unrelated killings?
The direction is tight and through great use of lighting effects and the near constant rain the whole things looks and feels like a nightmare as the residents start to realise they are trapped with whatever nutbag it is stalking them.
The while thing feels very much like stalker slasher style film, but that couldnt be farther from the truth, yes it does have those elements, but it never feels as sleazy as those films.
Overall its a well put together film with a nice plot and few good twists along the way.
Film no 27 the unborn
a truly awful film and another in the long line of lets get a hot chick possessed and then have her whig out over the course of a week or so, at least that way we can put her in her underwear or the shower a few times to show the passing of time, and it dont feel sleazy then do it?
wrong!! it does and did feel sleazy, this is a film that has grand ideas but no style or enough skill to pull them off, as such what we are lift with is a very very very dull film.
rubbish and very obvious jump and scare tactics are employed throughout, as such everything about this film feels borrowed or stolen from somewhere else, but it hasnt done it a nice wink and a nod to the original sorta thing, its just used the scenes but made them worse through the bad acting!
dull and predictable, avoid this film at all costs
Film no 28 Mean Girls 2
this is quite possibly the worst and most utterly pointless sequel ever made.
i mean really come on what is the point in rehashing the original in almost its entirety but this time forget the jokes and good actresses.
this is shameless money grabbing nonsense flying on the coat tails of the far far superior original.
the first film is a very sharp and very witty look at school life, this film attempts to recreate that same feel and it falls flat on its face at every turn.
the soundtrack is sadly lacking the punch and fun of the original, as are most of the cast and from the look of it, so is the school!
thats probably where this one feels the majority of the bite, the cast here arent in the least bit likable, the first had a very obvious and easily identifiable heroin and villians and the suchlike, but here they are all pretty much just very annoying and rather dull.
sorry guys you dropped the ball on this one, i want my 90 minutes back please!

Film no 25 Wreck it Ralph
a film all about the villain of a donkey kong style game that decides he is sick of being the villain and wants to be the hero(and get all the love and praise that goes with it) instead.
so what does he do?
well since he cant be the hero in his game he wanders off to other game cabinets in the arcade in the hope of getting?stealing a medal from one of those.
this is where the film scores the most points as we start to see the parodies of current and older generations of video games in these cabinets, sadly once the initial moments of "oh thats call of duty" or "this must be Mariokart" have worn off there isnt really much of a story to hold your interest here, the trouble is that Ralph is a bit of a dick, as such the character is quite unlikable.
shame really because as you expect it looks good,sounds good but when the main alleged hero is a tool i cant help but feel they dropped the ball there!
on the plus side and i really hope they include it on the dvd and blu ray when they arrive the little intro movie the paperman is quite exceptional!
