Film Freak 2011 - Unknown

I have kinda been wanting to see this film for a while, and finally I saw it in a rather small event cinema. The film started part of the way through which was really fine as I got a free movie tiket. Love youse at Event Cinemas!

So it was Liam Neeson, losing his mind and his marbles or is he? There are some good twists and plost changes but overall it seems like it has all been done before.

I enjoyed the speed of the film at the start but after the breakdown the film started to take a slow turn for the worse.

Liam Neeson was the saving grace, he was awesome in Taken and now this is his second decent thriller/action film. I would have liked the second half to be a little shorter and have more of a conclusion but anyway.

Unknown is a decent movie but it will be on DVD soon so maybe wait until then 3 stars.

Film Freak 2011 - Red Riding Hood

Okay so first thing you notice is the dropping of "Little", yes Red Riding Hood is totally grown up and in a love triangle. The Twilight diretor has created a sorta Twilight like nararation over the top and those long longing looks came into play also.

So I never guessed the wolf and it did have a good twist, so if you like a who done it? you may like this.

It is not great but it is definately not as bad as everyone is saying. I liked the lead Amanda whatever her surname is and the supporting cast was decent.

A good film, not great but enjoyable for a wet weekend in the city.

3 stars.

Film Freak 2011 - Limitless

So was this a 90 minute or thereabouts advertisement for estasy or another drug? It seemed like it glorified drug use in a big way (yes it showed the effects and touched on a downward spiral) but hey that's just how I saw it.

I also found Bradley ooper really unattractive in this film, usually he is sexy as fuck but not this time around.

Abbie Cornish and Robert DeNiro were good in really small roles but still nice to see our Abbie Cornish on the big screen.

So did I like it, average story line, nicely shoot and a decent conclusion but still it felt like it was missing something. I also felt really bored in parts of the film.

Anyway it was average at best 2 and a half stars for Bradley Cooper and his Limitless activities

Film Freak 2011 - Griff the Invisible

Griff the Invisible is a strange film but I liked it non the same, well in parts. I liked that it was film entirely around the city CBD, I love Ryan Kwantan (from TV's True Blood) and I did like the simple love story but all in all I really struggled with this film.

It just looked cheap and when I say simple love story I mean and the whole idea behind the movie was pretty simple and basic.

I wish I liked this more, I tried and failed it was an okay film but after seeing a real load of great films this one kinda stood out.

I can only give Griff the Invisible the 2 stars.
