The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)
An insult to C.S Lewis
When i heard they were making a new batch of Narnia films i couldn't have been happier. But then came the films. I thought The lion the witch and the wardrobe was bad but this is even worse. Firstly the story in the film is so different to that of the book that it's barley worth watching. Then there are the battles. Why this is needed i don't know. One, yes. Two, yes but not continually. In the latter half the film became more and more like Lord of the rings. Gladiator is a classic example of battles in films done right. The characters were all terrible and nothing like portrayed in the books. The acting was even worse apart from the cameos from the minor animals. The whole feel you should get from being in Narnia just isn't there. The direction was dire as was the failed attempts at humour. The only good thing in the film was the music. Even then they only used one song apart from some strange ballad at the end.
Overall another disappointment. Again just like the first film it was a case of "I could do better"
Love + Hate (2005)
As good as it gets!
For me love+Hate is one of the best films i've seen in the last five years. It was my best film of 2006.The main reason i love this film is the realism of it. It deals with issues. Mainly the film is about racism, and what it does to people who use it to control their life. The story is about a young girl who goes to work in a DIY shop and meets a young boy who takes an instant dislike to her. Eventually he realises that he loves her and is torn between what his friends and family might think,and his true feelings. There are other stories but i wouldn't want to ruin it for anyone. The film is brilliant in all the key areas. The acting is superb by everyone. The script is just as brilliant. The music is excellent and provides a real essence to the story being told. The direction is very good. Everything is really superb. It will not be a film to everyones taste but it is thought provoking and original in the way only great films are.
