Kazed video reviews: X-Men: First Class (2011)

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

  First off, I'd like to apologise for the lack of activity on Movieville.org the past week or so, there's been a lot of problems off set! Going into watch X: First Class, I had relatively no expectations, but knowing that Matthew Vaughn (Stardust, Kick-Ass) had directed it was enough for me to want to watch. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender undeniably had the best chemistry in the film, and casting them for Charles Xavier/Professor X and Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto, respectively was a stroke of genius. I definitely thought this was one of the best Marvel adaptations to date, and definitely tops the past X-Men films, ESPECIALLY that atrocity Wolverine, probably the worst film in the franchise. Although, strictly speaking, the film is actually supposed to be both a reboot AND a prequel to the original franchise, so I suppose this technically isn't a part of the franchise... or is it? Performance-wise it was quite strong, apart from the wooden acting from January Jones, playing the hotness that is Emma Frost, and Jennifer Lawrence playing Mystique. Slightly disappointed with Lawrence's performance, seeing as Mystique was quite a prominent character in the film. X: First Class was an outstanding film with a few minor flaws, but other than that, it was a great film to start the 'Summer of Blockbusters'. Oh, by the way, don't make the mistake of waiting after the credits for a special bonus, it won't come. I give this, a 8.5/10. Kazed.

CollegeHumour: Nick Frost & Simon Pegg as R2D2/C3PO

This is hilarious. Just came across this while surfing the interweb, and I thought it was brilliant. Frost and Pegg are almost the only British comedians who I find funny. In the clip, Frost and Pegg try and shoot the original Star Wars trilogy shot by shot, but they only completed a scene. Check it out: Hilarious.

Kazed reviews: Paul (2011)

Originally, I had set off to watch Limitless, but as fate had it, it wasn't my destiny to see this. So instead, myself and my friends decided to watch Paul. Not that it should be considered an afterthought, just that...you know. Bradley Cooper. He's so dreamy. Anyway, recently I've been catching up on Spaced, the sitcom written by and starring Simon Pegg (Directed by Edgar Wright, of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, previously). Before watching Spaced, I also watched Hot Fuzz again, which also stars Simon Pegg, and also Nick Frost. What's the point of all this you say? Well, I'm not usually into British comedies, I usually hate them- but recently I've been watching a lot more of them. Shit. I've forgotten why I started this paragraph. Dammit, I'll leave it in anyway so it looks like a lot more text LOL. Paul is about a little alien dude who crash lands on Earth and has been on the planet since 1945, and it's now that the government want to All is not lost though, because the little alien dude, conveniently named "Paul", finds two nerds on a tour of all the Extraterrestrial spots on the West Coast of the US. It was a fun film. Fun, as in, if it had any stupid moments in it, it was justified, because it was a 'fun' film. There were some gorgeous shots during the tour scenes, some of the beauty of the natural landscape was breathtaking. That's all  got. I'm out of descriptive words. Seriously though, I'm trying to think of a scene which brought the film down in any way, but I'm struggling...If I was going to pick out something negative (and this is me being really nit-picky), it'd have to be the scene when the three protagonists are being chased, and there's an overhead shot of the front of their Winnebago-type-vehicle, then it cuts to the back of it, but the road's different. That's it. Thing is though, although that part was really the only negative I could find, the film wasn't 'all that'. It was a light-hearted comedy (kinda), with some great performances from both Frost and Pegg, and the additions of Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader and that other guy were all great. Oh, and Sigourney Weaver. I will say, that the animation on the alien were OUT OF THIS WORLD (oooooohhhhh.). It really seemed right on the button. This might sound stupid, but the physical presence of the little guy seemed really believable. Rogen voicing the thing was a great choice. It just seems like such an odd voice for something like that. ANYWAY. I liked this film. It didn't leave me with any exciting feeling afterwards, like I usually get when watching Sci-Fi films, but it was still a good film nevertheless, but nothing to write home about. Wow this wasn't even a review. WHATEVER. 6.5/10 Kazed
