A Nightmare On Elm Street

Now I've not seen the original but really anything has got to be better than this film. I really liked the opening credits, but as soon as they finished I thought well this film is shit. And after about 5 minutes I wanted to leave, it was that bad.

However, I did stay until the end. The film did slowly get better, but it's best wasn't really good enough for me and I still think it was really bad. I just wanted all the actors apart from Thomas Dekker to die because they just annoyed me so much.

Stay well clear of this one if I were you.

Pushing Daisies Season 2 Soundtrack Petition

"Pushing Daisies was a great show that ended long before it should have. There were many elements that made the show magical, one of those being the soundtrack. Jim Dooley won an Emmy award for the Pushing Daisies Season 1 Soundtrack, and the Season 2 Soundtrack hasn't even been released. Sign this petition to get the Pushing Daisies Season 2 Soundtrack released. The show is over but the music doesn't have to be..."

Hot Tub Time Machine

After seeing this my friends said that it was very funny. Well I didn't hear them laughing that much, and as a comedy I didn't find it that funny, but then I don't tend to find these sorts of comedies comical.

That said, I still enjoyed the film and there were some definite funny moments. A film that doesn't take much thinking and that you can just sit and watch.

Iron Man 2

I really enjoyed the first film, and when it ended with Tony Stark saying that, yes he was Iron Man, then I couldn't wait for the sequel.

However, whilst I did enjoy Iron Man 2 I didn't like it as much as the first one, simply because I new that Mickey Rourke was the villain of this film, and I felt as though as was waiting for the final show down between his character and Iron Man since the moment the film began, and I would have appreciated it if it happened a little sooner.

Not to say I didn't like the film though, as I did really like it. But it was missing something that Iron Man had, and I'm not sure what. Iron Man felt full of action, and Iron Man 2 was full of action and yet it didn't feel to me as though it was full of action.

Definitely go see the film though if you're into that sort of thing, it is quite entertaining and whilst not quite as comical as the first, still very funny.

There is one scene in the trailer though that I'm pretty sure isn't in the actual film, but perhaps I just wasn't paying attention. Pretty sure I was though.

And on an end note, the bit after the end credits isn't really worth watching unless you're a fan of marvel and know about The Avengers. I'm not and don't really know anything about The Avengers, so didn't really get it.

Green Zone (Soundtrack)

A definite Powell score and similar in style to the Bourne soundtracks and United 93, probably because they're by the same director and that is the style he is after. Whilst I didn't think it as good as the Bourne soundtracks, I did still think it was very good.

Heavy on the percussion and underlying electronics, with strings and brass that sound like United 93. Definitely wouldn't say this score is pieced together from Powell's other work though, as this is all new stuff and does sound different in it's own way.

Well worth it if you've like Powell's other work for Paul Greengrass, and if you like the modern Media Ventures/Remote Control Productions scores.
