Ok....sorry for being away so long but work has been a bitch.
Watched Tangled on TV. It was fun, the animation was fantastic and the heroine and hero were very likable. Best bit however belonged to the main villain of the piece. Mother Gothel was voiced by Donna Murphy and she was delicious! All the things that you swear you wont do to your children, all the emotional blackmail, all the snide comments, she launches into with utter abandon. She is an amazing character. The final scene where Rapunzel is re united with her parents had me in tears. Very good film for kids and adults.
Then my copy of 127 HOURS dropped onto the mat. I have read the book so was looking forward to the film. Danny Boyle has done a great job of bringing the book to the screen and James Franco is wonderful at holding the interest of basically him on the screen on his own for most of the film. The part concerning him breaking his arm and cutting it off was very well dealt with and quite gruesome to watch. I think that the film would have benefited from some back story of his friends and family searching for him, but on the whole good film.
PAUL came out on dvd. A fantastic film that showcases the talents of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
Seth Grogan is amazing as Paul, so world weary and smart, his theological argument with Ruth Buggs (Kristen Wiig) whilst on the can (to use an Americanism) was absolutely wonderful and very very funny. Lots and lots of sci fi references to keep the geeks happy (me included!) Great film that deserves 4 out of 5 stars.
Next up and coming is Harry Potter, which we are going to see in full fancy dress. Daughter is going as Tonks and I am goin as Madam Rosmerta. Will keep you posted:-)
