Film 260/365, Day 285/365 – The Losers

Very similar to the A-Team in style and substance, the Losers is a good action film with a reasonable story.  It’s got lots of action and is very fast paced with a good sense of humour.  However that is the problem, it is very much the same as many other action films which is why it hasn’t scored more than 3 Stars.  It doesn’t really do anything to make it stand out.

Synopsis:  A black ops team are betrayed and left for dead in Bolivia.  Now they will need to expose their betrayers if they are to get there old lives back.  But then nobody has even heard of the guy they need to find, nobody except a mysterious girl that also wants him dead.

Film 63/365, Day 65/365 – The Lost Boys

The Lost Boys is still one of the best vampire films ever made.  It is what you would and should expect from a vampire film, evil blood thirsty creatures of the night that don’t just fall in love with everybody and everything.  The haunting soundtrack is absolutely fantastic and the cinematography is exquisite.  An absolute gem of a film and that’s without even mentioning the Frog brothers!

Synopsis: Michael and Sam are forced to move with their mother to a small town in California.  Everything seems as you would expect except for the alarmingly large number of missing people.  Michael falls for a local girl who hangs out with a group of teenage bikers who seem to be causing all sorts of mischief.  Desperate to get the girl Michael will do anything the gang says to fit in… almost anything!
