Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted 3D - Guest Review

http://www.madagascarmovie.com/

As with my previous guest reviews, I haven't seen Madagascar 3. But as my friend Faye saw this recently, and as her reviews have been quite well received, I thought I would again hand over to her one line review style. She had this to say:

It's good - if you like the other ones, you'll like this one!

So there you have it. If you (or your kids) are Madagascar fans, head on over to the kids club or catch this one on DVD, you'll like it! ;0)

The Watch

Mini Blog

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1298649/

As I just explained in a personal blog, I have been rather busy recently and haven't actually been to the cinema that often in the last two months. But as promised, I will be attempting to keep on top of my reviews, although some, like this one, will unfortunately come after the film has left cinemas. Just means you'll have more films to add to your netflix/love film lists.

I wasn't familiar with The Watch until my cinema buddy pointed it out to me. I saw the trailer and thought it looked okay. I'm not a particular fan of anyone involved but then if I only saw films of people I was a fan of I wouldn't be a very unbiased reviewer now would I?

I'm also not a huge fan of comedies. Mainly because I find they don't really make me laugh all that much. Whilst The Watch didn't have me rolling around on the floor I did walk out of the cinema saying how pleasantly surprised I was by it. The cast gelled really well, each having time to shine. And even Vince Vaughn, who I have a tendency to find annoying and over the top, was enjoyable. 

The film has a good mix of sci-fi, jumpy horror moments, comedy and drama to keep the most complex film fan happy and was generally an easy to follow, fun film. A surprisingly good 8 out of 10.
