Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)

Horrible...just horrible

[1/10 · 16 February 2015]

I went along with my hubby at the weekend to see if Sam Taylor-Johnson could take some really badly-written books and transform them into something else...possibly slick, exciting, fresh, interesting, tantalising even.. how wrong can you be? In the very bizarre words of Anastasia.. Holy Cow! The movie sounded and looked JUST as bad as the book... Dakota Johnson is made of wood and couldn't act her way out of a paper bag.. Jamie Dornan was bearable...but only just.. but no chemistry, no story, no intelligence, no spark...no anything! I was literally ready to walk after the first 5 minutes but begrudgingly (and I mean that most sincerely)..we sat through it to the very limp end.. will not make the same mistake again.

If you love movies.. and I do.. avoid this at all cost.. truly AWFUL

New Year's Eve (2011)

C'mon People...

Why does everyone have to look at every movie with an oh so critical and cynical eye?

This is a great seasonal movie to go and take your family (I did yesterday) in amongst all the pre-Christmas madness and just sit down,take a load off,relax,smile and enjoy... Sure it's no Citizen Kane..but it never purported to be!

It's a nice feel-good movie

so go and take off the cynical glasses and enjoy..we wouldn't enjoy half of great Christmas movies if we all took this jaded view of movies!
