You Choose Movie Reviews(?)

    For the past two years I've been building up a movie collection the size of my dresser, while taking some photo in my white box I thought it would be a great idea, to ask what movies you would like me to review; instead of something that is not of your interest. I don't know how the reaction to this post will be, if there are no comments within the next two/three weeks, then I will proceed to review my favourite ones. 

    Now this is not my entire collection, only a few which people may be familiar with including live/comedy performances from my favourite comedians. There are also some films which I am yet to watch which I've not included on here. With 17 films on this list, I hope there's enough variety and something that you might be dying to watch so it's benefitical. Comment down below any of these you wish for me to review, as the first review will be up in three weeks!

REVIEWED | 50/50

    Last night I posted a picture of two DVD's on my instagram, one of them was called 'A Dangerous Method' which I have let to watch and the other '50/50'. I never thought I'd get to see this film as it was released in America and appeared to have been a flop considering its European release was just straight the DVD. The aspect of this film that caught my eye was the two main actors - Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogan. Both of these actors in my experience have been in great films, so I couldn't miss something with them both together. 

    There are a few other people in the film that I have noticed from other films such as Anna Kendrick, who plays the therapist for Adam ( Joseph Gordon-Levitt ). This film is based loosely on the experiences that Will Reiser went through during his fight with a rare cancer. Outlining the plot without giving much detail away, Adam a very calm and collected guy has been suffering with back pains for a few weeks. After consulting his doctor about the pain, we learn it is in fact a tumor growing down his spinal column. This shock turns his world up side down, facing home disappointments while his closet friend Kyle ( Seth Rogen ) try's to deal with the problem too.

     As I mentioned previously there was no UK release in the cinemas which is a shame because I would be first in line to watch this film, however it was released in the USA on the 20th September last year, going onto DVD 18th January 2012. Owning this film on DVD will be something I'll be asking for, for my birthday this year as I feel it as a time less film. There is strong language, some drug use and a little sex scene involved but besides that, the film is clean. It's been rated as a 15 in England, but the age guidance varies between countries. 

    If you're looking for a film with a completely fresh view to facing cancer at such a young age then this film is for you. Don't let the word cancer make you immediately think this is a sad film through out, there are some comedy gold moments during nearly every scene and watching Joseph and Seth work together gives off a rare chemistry you don't see between many male lead roles.

Hostel Part II

    Now I must say, all the 'Hostel' films really aren't for the screamish, being rated an 18 I would only really recommend watching this the youngest at 16. There is a lot of blood through out the film, a few sexual references and they don't skip on any detail when it comes to cutting into somebody's skin, or slicing their neck.

     The other night after I did some revision I decided to opt out of watching the first Eurovision show and instead treat myself with a good old gore film. Now I haven't watched the first 'Hostel' which seems pretty stupid considering I've watched the last two but I shall defiantly be watching the first one this weekend.

    The story behind 'Hostel Part II' is the traditional a group of young twenty year old's go back packing, yet this has a twist. If you've not seen any of the previous films you wouldn't know but the concept is that young, attractive back packers would be lured to a certain location. Their passports would be taken off them at check in, but instead of being kept in a safe, they would be scanned in on a special machine that sends their picture with all their details to those in an elite club.


    This elite club would consist of very rich people, in couples or on their own that would then bid on the victims, literally the same concept as Ebay. Once a person is declared the winner they then win the person. Being a horror / gore film this would not be all, once you've won your victim you can then do absolutely anything with them as long as they die at the end. To name a few these tasks carried out would be strange fetishes these people have dealt with, for example lying in a bath of blood.


    For people that like horror films, gore films or basically don't mind any blood then this film is right up your street. It's been a while since the last film was released, and I don't believe anymore are in the process of being made, but I would be first in line at the cinema to see a possible 'Hostel Part Four'.
