Film #44: EAT, PRAY, LOVE (2010)

This was a good film with a really great plot, but it was a really long film. The best location by fair was Italy where she ate a lot of food and it was super fun!
The film is based around Julia Robert's character travelling around the world and she eats, prays and loves (hence the title).
It is a really nice easy watching film so was nice as a wind down!

Film #43: IRON MAN (2008)

So I have seen this film but it was so long ago that I cannot remember it at all, so I rewatched it.
This film is the best of the Iron Man trilogy and was a really a good watch.
The film is based around how Tony Stark becomes Iron Man and his journey through that. Robert Downey Jr is so brilliant as Iron Man and so a great cast for the role of Tony.
But to be honest Iron Man isn't my favourite superhero (Wolverine is the best!)

Film #42: THE GREEN MILE (1999)

So another Tom Hanks film.
This was a strangely lovely film but also was deep and really postmodern.
It was a story based around Hanks being a prison officer who has a man in his section with strange powers to be able to heal and bring people back from the dead. He first proves this when he heals Hanks of a bladder infection. The story follows Hanks and his fellow prison officers as they try to help a friend of their get better after suffering with a long term illness and being close to death. However they also have troubles with the new prison officer and new prisoner that come to their prison.
It was a really good watch and I did enjoy it...but has Tom Hanks ever done a bad film?
That was rhetorical, of course he hasn't!

Film #41: LIFE OF PI (2012)

Is it bad to say I didn't like this film? I mean I was bitterly disappointed. Firstly I thought the animation of the animals was horribly bad, you could definitely tell that they were computer animated and that ruined the narrative for me. Also the story line was almost like Castaway but instead of Wilson the ball it was Richard the tiger. I just felt like the institution were focusing too much on the animation and not on the story itself. Also I hated how they shot some of the scene as they decided to alter the screen from wide screen to fill screen to a tiny square in the middle at one point and it made it hard to watch and concentrate on the film. I know many people would disagree with this viewpoints, especially all the academies that gave the film a million awards (ok that was an exaggeration), but I felt the same way I did after watching Avatar, that not enough time was given to the narrative and focused way too much on the buzz around the animation.

Film #40: THOR (2011)

Following my theme of Marvel films that I haven't seen was Thor, I felt that this film could have been so much more than what it was. There was too much of a build up for a very small battle at the end. I actually said after the film finished "was that it?!" Also the film lack emotion, it was very 'laddish', I didn't feel any emotion to Thor's numerous almost-deaths. I have to say that Chris Hemsworth is a wonderful Thor and fits the image perfectly and i was impressed by his transformation of the character. As well as the brilliance of Tom Hiddleston as Loki,. I am being a little harsh as as far as comics go Wolverine is my favourite and so I'm not a big fan of any of the others.
