Bridesmaids (2011)
Not What I Expected
It's not as funny as it's made out to be. It's not amazing, it's not like the female version of The Hangover and it most certainly is not 10 out of 10. It's just like any other romantic comedy out there and it is girly, more girly than expected.
Personally I wanted to throttle the main character for half the movie because all she did was throw a pity party for herself and that's just irritating. It shouldn't even have been called 'Bridesmaids', the movie was focused entirely on the Maid of Honour, but I suppose that's too similar a title to the already existing 'Made of Honour'.
The movie was a let down, but this is due largely to the amount of hype it got when it went through the cinemas. It's a decent chick flick, just don't expect to be rolling on your floor in fits of laughter. And the worst part of it? They didn't even go to Vegas!
Waterborne (2005)
Not As Bad As The Cover Implies
The concept alone is good. And believable, with water resources experiencing an ever growing demand and so becoming a more likely target for attack. Although the story seems to jump between different messages it does come together well and particular praise must go to how the film hints at human nature.
This movie makes you think, not because of the complexity of the storyline. Everything is pretty straight forward, but it puts your mind into the situation the characters are experiencing, makes you wonder how you would react and in some manner makes you more weary of water supply. What would we do if we no longer had access to something as simple as drinking water? I must point out, the reason it is not as bad as the cover implies? It IS exactly what it says on the cover but what it says on the cover isn't very much. The cover (in the UK anyway) gives the impression of a very low budget, badly scripted plot, but we know we shouldn't judge by the cover right? Apart from jerky filming, and yes a lot of close ups, it's not too bad at all. Definitely worth the watch, just expect less suspense and more pondering.
