Kick-Ass 2

When I first heard this film was in the making I was really excited, as the original is probably one of my favourite films around, with some brilliant comedy held within. Typically, as with any sequel, the script just isn't as quick witted, though the introduction of several peculiar characters unsuccessfully attempts to make up for this. The plot follows Kick-Ass, Dave Lizewski's homemade superhero, who joins a team of others that have been inspired by his actions. Cue, Chris D'Amico, a.k.a The Motherfucker, whose seeking revenge for his fathers death. The plot still manages to hold a couple of suprises which are quite good, and the film does have some laughs in it,with Chloë Moretz and Aaron Taylor-Johnson both give stable performances throughout. I'd say it's one to watch if it's on television on a lazy afternoon, but it's not quite worth forking out for the DVD.

American Psycho

Taken from FanArt.tv

I've had to do a bit of research since watching this film as it left me in such a state of confusion! So I've only just managed to get round to watching American Psycho as I've always heard good things and I was a bit scared I wouldn't enjoy it. The film has a very basic plot, in which we follow round a business man played by Christian Bale, doing business-y things, however he holds psychopathic tendencies which slowly progress. Bale acts with a real feel for the character and portrays the role with attention to detail, giving the audience a love/hate relationship with his character, Patrick Bateman. The script is very well written, with clever anecdotes, though it did not hold as much dark comedy as I was expecting. If you haven't already it's definitely a film worth watching if you need something that's going to get you thinking. The film shows, albeit in an exaggerated way, how people, both inside and outside the business world, have a careless attitude towards others.

Trap for Cinderella

First Review!

Taken from TimeOut

So, I thought I'd start it off with a lesser known film that's come out this summer called Trap for Cinderella, which is mainly a thriller and crime movie. The story revolves around a young woman trying to work out her own history, after suffering amnesia following a fire. The film then twists back and forth in time to tell this story, of how her and her childhood friend 'Micky' are reunited and eventually how the fire is caused. The acting is pretty flawless from all the characters, with Tuppence Middleton doing a brilliant job of playing her character, before the incident as a grungy-type wild model, as well as after, as she tried to figure out who it is she really is. The film as a whole is a little rough round the edges and little eccentric though it manages to pull this off by fluidly keeping the audience at bay.  I'd say that it's definitely worth the watch for anyone whose into easy going films that keep you guessing. For me, it was a really enjoyable film with a pretty decent soundtrack.
