Catch Up

Here's a quick list of the films I've seen in the last couple of months with a quick mini review.

Adventureland - This is NOT a comedy which it seems to be advertised as in the trailer. I thought it was okay, but I wouldn't watch it again. (5/10)

The Final Destination - If this film wasn't in 3D then it would be one of the worst films ever made. The 3D was the only good thing about this film, and they just abused the shit out of it. I will never watch this film again, not even by accident. (2/10)

(500) Days Of Summer - I went not expecting to like this but was pleasantly surprised when I did. This film seemed to make me smile all the way through, which I don't think ever happens. I wouldn't watch it again in a rush, but I certainly wouldn't mind watching it again. (7/10)

Dorian Gray - The first film in the list I actually wanted to see. This film is beautifully shot and is just so creepy. I love it. Plus it has a great score. I'll definitely be buying the DVD. (8/10)

Surrogates - I really like the concept of this film and thought it was really good. But for some reason it just felt a little boring, and I don't know why, because I really wanted to love it. Wouldn't mind giving it a second chance though when it comes out on DVD. (6/10)

The Soloist - It wasn't what I expected. I don't mind listening to classical music, but the classical sections went on a little too long for me. I wouldn't watch it again. (5/10)

Gamer - Similar concept to Surrogates, although done in a completely different style. Had it's nice moments, but overall it was a little lame. (6/10)

The Invention Of Lying - I don't like Ricky Gervais, and can't stand him as an actor. However, in this film I found him okay, and didn't find him quite so annoying and shit (although he did still have his moments). Still not a fan though. (4/10)

Up - Another great film from Pixar. However, I must say that I'm getting a little annoyed with the whole 3D glasses thing as I wear glasses anyway and putting the 3D ones on top of my normal ones is so fucking ridiculous. I spent half the time trying to adjust them and make them more comfortable to wear. (6/10)

Zombieland - Best Zombie film I've ever seen. Great script and creativity with the filming or it. (7/10)

The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus - Completely not what I expected. I would still say that it is worth watching because it is quite good. However, it's much more weird than I thought. Not one I'd watch again and again. (6/10)

Saw VI - Stay clear of this film if you've not seen the other Saw films. I thought it was okay. However, I preferred the fifth one, because it had Julie Benz in it. Although I must say, closure at last! (5/10)
