What I'm watching

Hi all, this tumblr mainly exists as a way of tracking all the movies I've been watching and some of the initial thoughts, and general feelings, I've had about them.

5/5 - Fantastic movies; movies which need to be seen and enjoyed by everyone.

4/5 - Movies which are very good but don’t have that spark which compels you to make others watch them as well.

3/5 - Average movies; watchable and enjoyable, but nothing which elevates them higher. The baseline all movies are given before watching.

2/5 - Can be watched but really bland and forgettable.

1/5 - Minimal to no reason to watch these films. It may have some redeeming factors e.g. it’s so bad it’s good or there’s one character that’s awesome enough to make it not a total waste of time.

0/5- Total waste of time. Nothing redeemable about these films.

As with every review blog/site, this is all my own personal opinion so feel free to take everything with a grain of salt.

Also I'm Scottish so all reviews will be in UK English. Get used to theatre, colour and words ending in -ised.

Total watched this month: 14 (9 new)

The Muppets 4/5

Faster 3/5

MacGruber 3/5

Hanna 3/5

Top Secret! 2.5/5

Your Highness 2/5

The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn 2/5

Stripes 2/5

Serious Moonlight 1/5

#327/#44 Your Highness When the maiden Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel) is taken by the evil warlock Leezar (Justin Theroux), it is up to the noble prince Thadeous (James Franco) and his slacker prince brother Fabious (Danny McBride) to track Leezar down before he ravages her during the next full moon. As long as you’re aware going into this that it is going to be stoners larping for a couple of hours with some bad English accents then this film is some goofy fun. It’s got a couple of laughs, it doesn’t overstay its welcome and you can’t really ask for more than that. If you go in looking for an epic fantasy quest or for a hilarious comedy you’re going to be disappointed. It’s proficient for what it is but it does not smack of effort on anyone’s part, that’s for sure. McBride, who I usually do not like, is fine and has a fairly good back and forth with Franco who plays the noble prince rather well. Deschanel and Portman don’t do a whole Hell of a lot but they seem to be having fun regardless so more power to them. I think as long as you go in with the right mindset this film is totally fine but if you never see it, it will have been no big lose to you. 2/5
