Film 314/365, Day 335/365 – Titan A.E.

Fantastic animation, an excellent soundtrack and very good story.  The animation is an excellent mix of computer generated and traditional animation.  The story is fascinating although didn’t quite make full use of its potential but was still very entertaining.  The real star of this show is the mix of animation and music which makes for some excellent scenes.

Synopsis:  The Earth has been destroyed by an alien race leaving what is left of humanity scattered across the universe without a home.  There is however one last hope for humanity a mysterious spaceship, The Titan, that has been hidden somewhere in the galaxy and one person holds the key to finding it.

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 220/365, Day 237/365 – The Wedding Singer


It’s funny, it’s silly and it’s packed full of awful 1980s clothing.  No really, it is a completely unashamed view of the 1980s.  It is a rom-com but Adam Sandler provides enough laughs to keep it interesting for everyone else.

Synopsis:  Robbie Hart is a wedding singer.  He loves weddings, that is until his fiancĂ© leaves him standing at the altar.  Now he hates them and he hates love.  However he soon begins to rediscover his former self when he begins to fall for Julia, a waitress that he is helping to plan her wedding!

Film 99/365, Day 106/365 – Donnie Darko

Dark and enthralling.  Jack Gyllenhaal is fantastic as the troubled Donnie who succumbs to Frank’s directions.  The story is absolutely captivating and whilst it is not a happy story it is definitely worth watching.  I can’t believe that this is the first time I have seen it, some ten years after it’s release.  Watch it.

Synopsis: Donnie Darko has some issues!  One night he is woken from his sleep and invited to follow Frank.  Frank is a giant Gothic looking rabbit who claims to be from the future and he has a message for Donnie, the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds.
