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?

Film 299/365, Day 326/365 – New Moon

Yet more pale melodramatic teenagers however this time there are some redeeming features. The introduction of the wolves, Indian werewolves I can cope with although I am still struggling with sparkly vampires.  That said Michael Sheen’s character was excellent but I still cannot stand Bella, worst character ever!

Synopsis:  After an incident involving Jasper and Bella, Edward decides it’s safer for Bella if his family moved away.  So they do, leaving Bella empty until she rekindles her friendship with Jacob, however Jacob has his own secrets.

Film 297/365, Day 324/365 – Twilight

If you enjoy pale teenage kids who exhale far too much, then you will love this!!!  If however like me you like your vampires to be evil, devious and wicked and not sparkly then probably not!!!  The defining moment is when Bella’s goes on Google to find a book about Indian legends, then goes and buys the book, gets home and then Googles it anyway...

Synopsis:  Bella has moved to Forks to live with her dad.  There she meets Edward, a strange boy who seems like her one minute and not the next.  But Edward has a dark secret that will turn Bella’s world upside down.
