films i've seen recently

i’ve become a real fan of the movies now that i’ve got an unlimited card at Cineworld. (the deal is: pay a tenner a month, go see anything you want any time for free.)

stuff i watched recently:

• 7 Pounds — great piece of acting by Will Smith. great death scene in the bathtub. a boring film overall though. also, what’s up with Will Smith and sleeping in bathtubs for no apparent reason? (here in 7 Pounds and in I Am Legend) you get into a bathtub when there’s a shootout in your apartment or (obviously) to have a bath. sleeping in one though… why?

• Sex Drive — went in with low expectations… and loved it. the premise is typical: a bunch of teenagers trying to get laid. the film turned out to be rather sweet & endearing though, rather than tacky like e.g. American Pie. very funny too.

• Slumdog Millionaire — just great. go see it if you haven’t.

• My Bloody Valentine — if it wasn’t for 3D, it would be just another cheap slasher. 3D makes it worth it.

• Yes Man — not a fan of Jim Carrey’s, but enjoyed this one. good script, good jokes, not too many out-of-place-just-because stupid faces pulled by Carrey.
