Time for many more films. Don't worry, half-term is up soon so my film-count will drop for a while as I need to focus on exams
I watched
Superhero Movie. I know these spoofs are usually shockingly awful, but I like watching bad films as you know. This one actually made me laugh twice :| I know, even I'm shocked. It was still rather bad though, and a complete waste of well over an hour, but it still made me laugh...somehow.
3/10
Moon was quite good. Simplistic, artistic, good enough storyline and really engaging. For his first film, Duncan Jones did really well, and having seen Source Code as well I can see he is making good progress. I can see him being VERY big in a few years, perhaps even as big as Chris Nolan.
8/10
I also watched
Bullet Boy. I'd seen much of it before, but not in its entirety. I love British gritty gangster social realism pieces, but this wasn't the best I'd seen. It does what it needs to, but it doesn't do much more than that. A shame, but it was still reasonable and a good enough watch, if quite predictable.

Monty Python's The Life of Brian. It wasn't as funny as I expected but I did have a very good chuckle at many parts. The story was great the references were great, the acting was...well...Monthy Python-esque but I suppose I'm probably too young and not of the generation to enjoy it to the full. Still, a very good film.

Scream 3 in preparation for Scream 4. It was definitely the worst of the original trilogy. The story seemed under developed, the ending was very disappointing and I got bored at multiple points throughout. But, like they kept saying, the third film in a trilogy always has loads of plot twists and anything is possible...

Hop. It wasn't very good. Russell Brand is one reason why it wasn't, but it hardly had much of a decent plot, the mix of animation and live action felt a bit off, there was no comedy value whatsoever (only innuendo's which only I would ever pick up, such as "Nope, she's single, and looking for a rabbit") and it was dull, tedious, and I wanted it to end. Saving point? It ended.

Went to see
Winnie the Pooh as well Was really looking forward t this, and I wasn't disappointed. Great humour, great animation, great story albeit short and a film that makes you smile throughout and chuckle many times over. Brilliance!

Scream 4. First things first, Emma Roberts = OMNOMNOM *drools*. Now that I have said that I will speak more about her - it was really good, almost as good (if not equally as good) as the first, though the focus was more on comedic deaths this time. It never made me jump (no films tend to), but I loved the endless Hitchcock references throughout the film that most people would miss (Psycho, Vertigo, Rear Window all prevalent). Brilliant, especially as he's "The master of suspense"
Also enjoyed all the Saw references, references to the Scream and Scary Movie franchises etc etc Without spoiling anything, Emma Roberts in the final scenes still made me growl like a bear, which it shouldn't have. I was emotionally aroused in those scenes, weirdly.
Anyway, better than 2 or 3 and up in line with the first I feel.
