Robin Hood, 17 Again, Machete...

Firstly- I know I said I'd never watch Russel Crowe's Robin Hood but we all sat down and watched it the other night. Before watching it I cleared my head and told myself not to judge the film based on Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves as I knew that it wasn't a remake and I knew that there was no way that I'd enjoy the film as much as Robin Hood POT simply because it's one of my favourite films... So I was trying to be good and enjoy it as a separate thing to Prince of Thieves and I'm glad I did that because I really enjoyed the film! Along with a lot of other people I found Crowe's accent...amusing as it's in no way Northern and in some ways a little Irish!! I did like the cast although I'm not a fan of Cate Blanchett but Little John and the Friar were great! I thought that the story itself was really good and it was completely different to Prince of Thieves so if you do watch do what I did and forget about Prince of Thieves! So basically I was glad I watched it as I loved the story and the fights - they were very good!

Crowe's take on Costner's classic pose!

We watched Machete the other night and I really really enjoyed it! Lots of guns, explosions and gruesome killings! It was very entertaining! And I think my boyfriend enjoyed the sexy ladies that are in the film! The story gets a bit lost as there is a lot going on but it is a good film and if you like revenge and action Watch It! The cast is pretty cool as well apart from Lindsay Lohan...but her character does seem to reflect her real-life person! Jessica Alba is really cool int he film and I normally don't like Michelle Rodriguez but she was cool as well! So if you like explosions, hot girls, brutal killings and some cool Mexican slang then watch Machete!!! 


Now for something a bit different - I was bored the other day so I looked on Sky Movies and 17 Again was on..Now I do like a bit of Zac Efron so I thought I'd give it a go as there was nothing else on! Surprisingly I really liked it and thought that Zac Efron was really good...quick run down of the story for you - Matthew Perry is going through a divorce with his childhood sweetheart, he has 2 kids in high school, he gets changed into being 17...instead of going back to the 80s he stays in the present which is cool as he goes to high school with his kids and helps them to help himself. It was really good as you never forgot that Zac Efron was actually a forty year old man which is obviously the main part of the story! It was funny and entertaining so it's worth a watch! The only problem I had with it is the ending as I'd like to know what his kids did as they were a big part of the story so you'd like to know what they did and if they succeeded (When you watch it you'll know what I mean). So yeah worth a watch!
