Buried (2010)
Disappointment
I was so excited to see this film, but when the film ended you could feel the atmosphere in the cinema of people just looking at each other and saying 'what the hell was that?'. i heard people laughing and snoring throughout this film, there were too many luls. the black parts lasted too long and i don't think there was enough happening for this to be called a movie. nothing really happened.
In my opinion, the ending was rubbish. I feel like they were taking the mickey out of the audience.
The one thing i did really like was the opening credits, the music and imagery was really good. sadly that was my favourite bit.
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008)
film doesn't do the book justice *very mild spoilers*
Like most films that come out after the book, it was a little bit disappointing, but i knew it would be very difficult to match the huge success of the books. i did enjoy the film but i feel there was so much more potential!
The beginning particularly annoyed me at the fancy dress party, it was so try-hard and unrealistic, i just didn't buy it. The cheesy scouting for girls song made it worse.
I feel it finished too quickly, missed out huge chunks and the ending was just cringey, the way everything turned out just perfect.
I love the books, so maybe i'm just biased.
There were a lot of moments that made me just cringe, and i think the acting didn't help.
The soundtrack was too predictable and main stream, a lot of songs that have recently been over played in the charts, yawn.
My opinions on the cast:
1. Ellen was cast completely wrong, i just didn't like the character. in fact, i didn't warm to Jas either. 2. Lindsay is supposed to be 15, she looks at least 17. 3. Georgia was way too whiney and the charisma she has in the books is just replaced by a constant gurn in this film.
