Since I haven't posted here in I don't know
HOW long, I thought I'd give my opinions on the last two movies I got to see:
Hotel Transylvania
Many people here will probably want to see this because of Genndy Tartakovsky, while some may want to see it because of Adam Sandler, but I'm happy to say that despite the casting of Adam Sandler and most of his co-stars from the movie Grown Ups, it's still a great film to see. There's some hilarious cartoony moments in this film, great humour, and I have to say that Mavis (despite being voiced by the girlfriend of JB
) is on my list of gorgeous animated female characters. I always like to think that just because Adam Sandler is in it doesn't
ALWAYS mean that it's going to be a bad movie, and this is one of those films. It's great fun.
4/5
Argo
Anyone (except me) who's old enough to remember the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis should give this film a go. The film stars Ben Affleck (who also directed it) as Tony Mendez, a CIA specialist who finds out that 6 of the American members of the US Embassy have escaped and are hiding out the the Canadian Embassy. Tony soon comes up with quite possibly the most improbable plan in history: create a fake Canadian movie and pose the 6 Americans as members of the film crew on location scouting. There are some great one-liners and humour in this film (courtesy of John Goodman as a make-up artist and Alan Arkin as a washed-up producer), and the climax has great tension and suspense. It's definitely my pick for Best Picture at the Oscars, no doubt about that!
4½/5
