Mr. Nobody (2009)
It's a thinker...
There are so many user reviews of this movie part of me doesn't even know where to begin. Firstly, I'd just like to say, I'm not going to sit and take this movie apart piece-by-piece, I have better things to do than that. I'm merely going to give it my own judgment and let you make your own.
So this wasn't the greatest movie ever made, far from it, and the ending (don't worry, I'm giving nothing away) was for me, a little disappointing. However, what it IS, is original. You certainly haven't seen a movie like this before. Many other reviews claim this is copying other certain titles, this isn't the case. The way this movie is shot and the storyline unfolds is quite unique, if not somewhat difficult to keep up with at times.
A lot of other reviewers claim this movie is 10/10 purely because it is difficult to understand. If being difficult to understand makes a movie a great movie, then I've gone seriously wrong somewhere in the years I've been enjoying films. This movie isn't "great". BUT, it is thoroughly entertaining and had me glued to the screen for about two and a half hours, which isn't something many movies can do (partly because few movies now are over an hour and a half, but that's beside the point).
If you like something that actually makes you think (and may also leave you wanting to know more) then give this movie a watch. It makes for a very interesting two and a half hours and at the very least has a little bit of nipple.
Who cares what other people think of a movie? Why should someone else's opinion (that you've probably never met) affect your decision to watch said movie?
Go watch 'Mr Nobody' and enjoy it for what it is; an original piece of cinema.
Horrible Bosses (2011)
Not great, but a fun way to spend an evening.
The first time I watched this movie I was in the theater with a few mates and we were extremely hungover. The only reason we even went to see it was because we were so smashed from the night before we really just wanted somewhere comfy to sleep for a few hours before the train home.
It started, two of us fell asleep. The other three of us ended up fighting the painful desire to sleep (this was partly due to the movie having some comical moments and partly due to Jennifer Aniston looking so damn fine).
I watched it again recently, as naturally I couldn't remember it that well the first time I saw it and my conclusion is that it is a fun way to spend an evening if you've not much better to do. It's a similar type of comedy to The Hangover (though not as funny). It isn't "laugh out loud" humor but it does certainly make you chuckle a few times.
If you've got a few hours to kill and you want to be mildly entertained without having to think too much, give 'Horrible Bosses' a shout. You'll not regret it. Just don't expect to be blown away by anything other than Jen's figure when she wears nothing much more than a lab-coat.
Enjoy...
