Thor

Posted on 16/5/2011 by WeatherGrrrl

Popcornalicious. This was an absolute hoot and exactly what was needed from a summer blockbuster: lots of energy, explody things, overthetopness, hot guys, and a complete lack of stick-up-arse, as they say in the vernacular. It made me laugh out … Continue reading →

Harry Potter 7 part 1

Posted on 1/12/2010 by WeatherGrrrl

Tense. Despite having read the book and knowing what happens this is an incredibly tense movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat for its entire length. The visuals are quite stunning and the ending left me wanting … Continue reading →

Day and Knight

Posted on 1/12/2010 by WeatherGrrrl

Yawn.  This movie can’t quite make its mind up what it is, there’s just not enough wit involved to pull it above the mediocre level for which it has settled.    The action is not quite spectacular enough to be … Continue reading →

Prince of Persia

Posted on 15/9/2010 by WeatherGrrrl

Hokum.  But deliciously fun hokum.  A pretty boy hero meets a spunky heroine and they do battle with a dastardly bad guy in a plot that makes absolutely no sense.  Gotta say Jake Gyllenhaal is seriously hot and buff and … Continue reading →

Ramona and Beezus

Posted on 15/9/2010 by WeatherGrrrl

Sweet.  It’s not often we get to see young interesting female leads in a movie made primarily for young girls so this was a real treat.  The plot isn’t particularly unexpected but did make me laugh quite frequently.  A very … Continue reading →

Alice in Wonderland

Posted on 6/9/2010 by WeatherGrrrl

Erratic. This was a little like a roller coaster ride, zooming up to brilliantly good and down to ditch water dull. Can’t recommend it really but there are some great little bits and pieces hidden along the way. The visuals … Continue reading →

Iron Man 2

Posted on 20/5/2010 by WeatherGrrrl

Dull. Yeah, so this was a huge disappointment and didn’t pass the WeatherGrrrl sleep test. Luckily I don’t live in the real world where ticket prices are obscene so my little nap didn’t cost the earth. Popcorn and soda were … Continue reading →

The Hurt Locker

Posted on 14/4/2010 by WeatherGrrrl

Tense. So these kind of movies always make me incredibly tense and this one is no different. As the movie unfolded the question that came to mind was, ‘wtf is the west doing in Iraq?’ The entire situation makes no … Continue reading →

A Single Man (includes slight spoiler)

Posted on 24/3/2010 by WeatherGrrrl

Brilliant. This has to be one of the most gorgeous movies of all time. The images are stunning and beautifully represent the emotional journey of the main character over a single day. Colin Firth is amazing and fully deserves his … Continue reading →

Overrated. All the money is clearly on the screen, shame they didn’t spend any on the script. I so wanted this to be good and kept hoping to be drawn in and absorbed by the story but you really do … Continue reading →
