Breaking Dawn Part 2

So this one continues exactly off the back of the last one.  Bella is still annoying beyond belief (not helped by Kristen Stewart sighing after every sentence), Edward  is still smug and annoying.  The Volturi are back finally and there is a pretty epic battle which is what this series has been calling out for but too little too late and then they hit you with the biggest stinker in the world of script/story writing... SPOILER ALERT... oh but that didn't really happen, aka it was all a dream and everyone is fine and in love and the world is wonderful (wow that's original, no one's done that before... oh wait... no, it's been done to death)!!!  Unacceptable and frankly I don't know why I am even surprised.  At least it's all over now!

BloodRayne

Is this the worst film ever made?  It's got to be a contender!  The story is so full of holes it barely makes sense, the dialogue is shocking and just the overall production is beyond crap!  Which when you consider the big names involved is quite frankly unbelievable.  This is an insult to the game of the same name and when you consider that the game was so popular that the central character made a topless appearance in Playboy.  Just shocking!!!

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

So I finally got around to watching Scott Pilgrim and it was well worth the wait, although I'd have much rather seen it earlier but whatever!  It is brilliantly ridiculous, fantastically stylish and completely over the top.  This is definitely the sort of film where some people are just not going to get it.  That's fine, each to their own, but I thought this was a thoroughly enjoyable film and very different from anything else out there.  Can Edgar Wright get it wrong?
