Film 266/365, Day 292/365 – Independence Day

I love action films and I love epic films... well, this is an epic action film so instantly I can’t help but love it.  It is however packed full of clichés and absurd American ideals and ridiculous speeches, but that aside it is a good fun action film on an epic scale.  Great fun.

Synopsis:  The appearance of Alien spaceships in the Earth’s orbit is greeted by mixed emotions, some believe they are here to save us where as other believe they are here for a more sinister purpose.  Soon it becomes quickly apparent that it wasn’t the first belief.  Will mankind perceiver against infinitely greater technology. 

Film 29/365, Day 29/365 – The Switch

Several years ago Cassie put Wally in the friend zone. Then when she told him that she wanted a baby and had found a guy who was willing to assist in the procedure, although not in the conventional way! Well Wally didn’t handle the news too well and at Cassie’s pregnancy party (I know really) he got very drunk and in a moment of madness found himself switching the donation for his own. Unaware of the switch Cassie moved away to raise her child in a more suitable environment. Now, some seven years later, she has moved back and Wally is only just remembering what he did that night.

The Switch was a nice film with a nice story, if a little strange at times. It’s definitely one to watch with the misses. There are some funny moments, mostly thanks to Jeff Goldblum who is brilliant. It’s ok if you’re looking for a chick flick but if you’re not then I wouldn’t worry, there are much funnier films available.
