A Few Quick Reviews - Scarface, Game Of Thrones, Descent, The Beach!

The Descent 2
The other night we watched the Descent 2 ...I hadn't seen the first one since it came out so I couldn't really remember who was who and who died but my boyfriend was helping me to remember! What we really like is how it starts from the end of the first one and is set two days after the women go down into the caves. This was cool because it was completely the same style and you could watch the first film then the second one after the other and it flowed really well and did have some reminders throughout for those, like me, who hadn't seen the first one for a while! Now I found it quite scary - or at least very jumpy! My boyfriend wasn't feeling it but still enjoyed the film - and it was very gorey still! So I did enjoy it but I think it would of been better if I'd watched the first one first as I did keep having to ask questions! So watch it but watch the first one again if you haven't seen it for a while as they are directly linked! :D


Scarface
Now we also watched Scarface recently and I very much enjoyed it!! Obviously it's an old film and I know that most people have already seen it but I hadn't and had only seen the "Say hello to my little friend!" short part! So I was anticipating that the whole time! The story itself was cool and interesting and I love a bit of violence in films, and I also love a bit of Al Pacino! I was shocked by how his character turned into a drug addict as he seemed quite anti all of that scene at the start but it was justified and it did work well to show how he was breaking. I'm not normally a fan of Michelle Pfieffer but her character was really interesting and added an interesting side to the gangster who says that to get to the top you need a good woman on your side which I liked! =D So overall I did really enjoy it and was a bit sad at the end!!


The Beach
My boyfriend requested that we get The Beach as he loves it so I did because I'm nice! When we got it I started to watch it then remembered how horrible it gets! The idea of The Beach itself it really cool but it all goes so horribly wrong! I don't like when they kill the man and I hate Tilda Swinton unless she's the Snow Queen!! So I did fall asleep... but I know that my boyfriend enjoyed it as much as he usually does which was cool but yeah I just don't like how weird and horrible it gets even though I know that Paradise doesn't exist anywhere so they had to do something but I just wasn't in the  mood for it the other night!!


Game of Thrones Book
So now I have started the book of Game of Thrones and I love it! I love how close to the book the tv series was - even as far as what the characters say! I really love it even though I obviously know what's going to happen but it's still really enjoyable because of the little bits they've left out of the series. One thing that is a bit weird is that in the book the characters are all a lot younger than the series - for example Daenerys (who marries Khal Drogo) is actually 13 in the book! And all of the Starks are a lot younger as well but in a way that adds a different dimension to it as it makes some elements of the story quite sad! When I read it I do picture the actors from the series - just with the children having little bodies and big adult heads - but that's probably just me!! But I do highly recommend the book to everyone as it is really good!
