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 95/365, Day 105/365 – Superbad

I am McLovin!  If only this film had been just about McLovin and Officers Slater and Michaels then I think I would have rated it much higher and whilst the story of Seth and Evan is nicely told with some funny moments it holds nothing to McLovin.  It is a funny film but like I said it could have been better.

Synopsis: Two best friends, Seth and Evan, have spent the whole of their school life together.  Unfortunately they haven’t got into the same College and now must face the prospect of being apart.  So one last big night out is calling and luckily their friend Fogell has got a new fake ID that he is itching to use.  It should be a night to remember!

Film 83/365, Day 88/365 – Juno

Juno has a fantastic script which is performed delightfully by Ellen Page as the wonderfully sarcastic Juno.  However expect to see Michael Cera, Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner all playing the characters you would have expected.  This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just don't expect any shocks or twists.  Not my usual choice of film but it was a nice change, although I may need to watch something suitably manic now in an attempt to raise my adrenaline levels.

Synopsis: Juno is a teenage girl who discovers that she is pregnant.  After plenty of debating and a failed trip to the abortion clinic Juno decides to have the baby and goes about looking for a couple who want to adopt it.  Having found a young couple who seem perfect everything looks set.  What could possibly go wrong?
