A remake rather than a sequel, Part II is lacking in any riotous humour and comes across as a completely pointless and infuriatingly unoriginal addition to the fantastic sleeper hit that was The Hangover.
Reviews
Melancholia
An original and compelling take on the end of the world from nouveau-Nazi Lars Von Trier. Excellent acting, beautiful cinematography and a wonderful soundtrack create a haunting atmosphere. A great film – even if you do leave the cinema with all hope and positivity destroyed.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Pirates of the Caribbean: Seriously That’s Enough Now. No longer fun or original and a bit of a mess of competing egos and escalating but boring action sequences.
Insidious
The guys behind Saw and Paranormal Activity have got together and produced a slightly embarrassing attempt at horror that’s going to get viewers sniggering, not cowering, behind their sofas.
Priest
No doubt a fun ride with some things going for it but Priest is just a vacuous airhead that’s completely letdown by a lack of substance.
Something Borrowed
Something Borrowed is a film that took two hours of my life and I don’t think I will get them back. This is the romantic comedy equivalent of the Nuremburg Trials.
