Midgets and Monkeys

One week in and already I am running behind schedule, however I do have a reason as I have been away in the land of the ginger haired skirt wearer's, that's Scotland to you and me, to see the Foo Fighters aka "The Shouty Band" as dubbed by a GUY that has been to see Atomic Kitten live so take that description for what its worth. More quality fare this week so on with the show

DOOM

I have smelled what the Rock is cooking and its another shit film, the film supposedly cost $70 million to make, I am assuming at least $50 million of this was spent on crack for whoever thought the script was good as the money is not on screen unless tunnels are expensive in this day and age. I did however learn via men's favourite form of temperature gauge that it is freezing cold on Mars most of the time. Thumbs Down

Romy and Michele's High School Reunion

Only good point to this was totally random dance sequence, I love totally random dance sequences and feel that all films should include them. From the great A Bande Apart to Adam Sandler dancing while buying pudding in Punch Drunk Love they are all genius and always improve a film and make a good film great in the same way midgets and monkeys do. Thumbs down

Bad Santa

Speaking of midgets, the first film to get a good review has one as a main character. Film follows the usual feel good Christmas film style story but adds a drunk Billy Bob Thorton and lots of swearing. As a bonus the Gilmore Girls Lauren Graham is always a pleasure to watch. Thumbs Up

Seed of Chucky

I have now seen all five chucky movies which by Guardian newspaper accounts should make me a child killing pedophile, so anyone who needs a babysitter drop me a line. Since this series went the comedy gore route with Bride of chucky I have been really enjoying them and this one is a lot of fun with Jennifer Tilly playing herself playing Tiffany, chuckys wife. Throw in the genius that is John Waters and have a recipe for depraved fun, plus technically the dolls are midgets so my theory is sticking. Thumbs Up

New DVD's
Batman Begins (Deluxe edition) - Batman franchise gets back on track, this is the HMV exclusive version that comes with a 72-page comic featuring stories that were the basis for the film

Matilda - Danny Devito's version of Roald Dahls book, haven't seen it in a while but remember it being fun and at only £5 couldn't be passed up

Brotherhood Aka Taegukgi -absolutely fantastic Korean war movie, South Korea has been producing some of the best films in the world in the last few years but people wont go see them cause the don't like sub-titles, idiots

Star Wars Clone Wars Volume 2 - More greatness from Genndy Tartakovsky, everything all the prequels should have been and more, if you like these check out Genndy's original work of genius Samurai Jack, it is also equally brilliant

Nightmare Before Christmas - the perfect Christmas movie and the perfect Halloween movie all in one, just get a copy already

Mr And Mrs Smith - Doug Liman keeps his record of good films at 100% with my favourite guilty pleasure of the year.

Maybe back at the weekend but if not I'll be back next week with King Kong and maybe Naria
