Film Critics Choice

Well it's Friday, the weekend starts here. And as for those of you who still go to the cinema instead of going to the pub (Although I intend to do a little of both to be honest) could well be deciding on what film to see. If you haven't decided I give you a quick run down of all the films worth seeing, when close €15 - €20 is on the line you want to get your moneys worth.

Kick-Ass:

Director Matthew Vaughn has made the regular super hero something more real. It's worth watching again and again till the projector breaks or you go insane. Seriously, it’s the film of the year so far for any teenager and even an open minded adult setting a pretty good benchmark for the next 8 months. It’s quite frankly ‘’Kick Ass’’

Cemetery Junction:  Gervais has pulled off something that’s more than just watchable using an overused and predictable story; he manages to make it his own. A winning combination of new actors graced with more experienced ones, manages to engage the audience effectively even if the laughs are rare it will still have you leaving the cinema with a smile on your face guaranteed

Clash of the Titans: It’s easy to spot the flaws in such a heavily CGI film but it holds its rickety supports upright throughout. If you pay for the non-3D experience you’ll enjoy it more for you money. Fans of action and swords-and-sandals epics should get a bang out of it if nothing else, but Clash of the Titans is sadly forgettable.

How to train your dragon: While certainly not on the same level as Pixar in terms of character, this is nonetheless a genuinely fun and enjoyable adventure film, with subtext galore for more receptive kids (and parents). The 3D glasses may cost a few quid more if you're taking the whole family, but it’s certainly worth it for a more engaging experience.

Perrier's Bounty:

The quirky hitmen, and violent main gangster with a fondness for long-winded monologues, will charm you for the most part until Broadbent’s accent spoils the mood , but Perrier's Bounty is sharp enough for long enough to, just about, hold its own.

Critics Choice: Kick-Ass is a clear winner this week and although the selection of films is so varied from animation, to action to satirical comedy Kick-Ass just seems to combine all of these different aspects into one film you can't help but love. I liked it so much I am going again tonight.
