Film 325/365, Day 344/365 – It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie

It’s impossible not to get caught up with the Muppets.  This isn’t their best movie but is still entertaining with plenty of laughs, most notably in the night club in the alternative world with a beefed up Beaker!  Will have to try and go see the new movie when it comes out, 10th February 2012 in the UK.

Synopsis:  The Muppet theatre is under threat from a nasty banker who wishes to knock it down and put a high priced night club in its place.  The Muppets have until midnight on Christmas Eve to get the money to pay the rent or so they think!

Film 278/365, Day 307/365 – Scream

Classic slasher horror from Wes Craven.  Sadly however it will never be as good as the first time you watch it.  That’s because the twist is excellent and almost impossible to see coming, but then once you know you know. So if you haven’t seen it then you’ve got all that to look forward to.  It is still very good though.

Synopsis:  When two students are brutally murdered just before the anniversary Sydney’s mother’s murder she starts to suspect that there could be a connection.  Soon there are a number of murders and the police have just as many suspects.

Film 20/365, Day 20/365 – Without a Paddle

Three friends that were inseperable as children, but have drifted apart since entering adult life, discover that the fourth member of the group has died. They meet at the funeral and begin to recall their youth. In memory of their friend they agree to go on a trip to discover the treasure that the now dead member of the group had been obssessed with. Will they find the the treasure or discover something much more or will they just be up shit creek without a paddle?

Without a Paddle is a fun film with plenty to laugh at. The main strength of the film is the bond between the three main actors Matthew Lillard, Seth Green and Dax Shepard who have great chemistry together. Sure the film is fairly stupid in parts but that is partly what’s great about it. I like it and would recommend to anyone with some time to fill who’s looking for something funny that is easy to digest.
