Loony's review

Ok, so lets do three quick ones!




The Woman In Black


The Plot: Evil Ghost Woman makes kids in the village kill themselves whenever someone has seen her ghosting around. So Harry Potter (yes, it really is), stuck in the house where she hangs around, tries to figure out what she wants, while she keeps scaring him half to death!

It might not sound like much, but I actually liked it!! Daniel Radcliffe is good as the single dad trying to figure out what the heck is going on, and even though the story could have been tied together better, it'll do for a horror film! The ghost is the perfect amount of scary and the only thing that ruins it is the fact that she screams, which makes it a little bit ridiculous. And also the whole diving-into-the-marshes-to-find-what-noone-has-found-before seemed a bit stupid, but other than that it was ok!
Def worth seeing!






Perfect Sence


The Plot: Scientist girl falls in love with chef while an epedemic rob people of their senses one by one.

Generally not my type of movie, but I actually really liked it! I have never really been a fan of Ewan McGregor but I'm finding myself liking him more and more (the fizzywater burp he did during an interview might have something to do with it). I'm still on the fence about Eva Green, especially since she is doing that horrid vampire movie with Johnny Depp, but in this movie I like her.
A different take on life, and really a sad story.
Worth seeing. Yes.




The Hunger Games


The Plot: As part of a very nifty punishment for a past uprising teenagers from every district has to do their best to kill each other in the annual televised Hungergames! Katniss takes her younger sisters place and learns to put on a show and stay alive!

So, I had really high expectations as everyone says this is THE best film ever, and I just didn't think it was. Nothing wrong with Jennifer Lawrence, but I would have liked her character better if she would have been...  A bit more awesome, you know! Stanley Tucci is an old favourite of mine, and he is fantastic in that blue hair! Josh Hutcherson was an escellent surprise, and I look forward to seeing him in future movies! Maybe it was just the fact that he was also in the movie, but Josh somehow reminded me of Woody Harrelson!
It's still a good movie and I might even see it one more time, but I think it's better if you keep the expectations low so you don't get dissapointed. Like I did with John Carter! Reeeaaally low expectations means it really wans't that bad! :)
Of course worth seeing.
