Films I've seen recently

There was a Guillermo del Toro season on Film4 recently, so I watched this. I enjoyed it and the characters were very well developed.

I normally go to watch films once I'm certain that it looks good after watching the trailer. I didn't even see one trailer for this and went to see it and loved it. Although, as always, the 3D didn't add much to the film.

This is a French film about growing up within a synchronized swimming group. I'm all for obscure films, but this was a little too weird for me, and I ended up fast forwarding through the last half hour. I wouldn't recommend it.

I'd been looking forward to this film for a long time, mainly because of Simon Pegg. Before seeing it, I was uncertain because I'd heard some quite bad reviews on it. However, it exceeded my expectations and is the perfect dark comedy. John Landis is the director, and while it's no An American Werewolf in London, it's a great film with lots of comedians in it!

Thelma and Louise - Personal Response

Having seen this film previously and really loving it, I found that on this second viewing it failed to live up to my expectations. I like that it focuses on female characters, but the whole film feels fairly cheesy. Thelma and Louise are likable characters and the change in the way they view life is well portrayed throughout the film. The soundtrack set the scenes perfectly, but again, I found it got a bit irritating after a while. I would recommend this film to certain people, but I understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea.
