Cinema Round-Up
If you’re not a football fan, chances are your social life’s experiencing a bit of a hiatus right now, and depending on your optimism, it could last until Sunday night, or until the middle of next month. In light of the fact that Andrew’s wildly cheering England on, I’m hijacking the movie page for myself – so if you fancy indulging yourself… try these for size.
Sex And The City 2 (Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, Kristen Davies)
I’m probably wasting valuable typing time – chances are, you’ve seen it, and you saw it with your best friends in its opening weekend. The critics have slated it, but I’m not. If you’ve not seen it, it’s an entertaining couple of hours: It is what it is, a frothy whirl of fashion, silliness, covetable craziness and just a hint of real life for us to cling onto and kid ourselves that really, deep down, the fantastic four are just like us.
Wild Target (Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Rupert Grint)
This quirky and cute British comedy sees assassin Victor Maynard given his orders to track and murder conwoman Rose, but when he finds himself in a confrontation with his boss’s heavies, it’s Rose and wrong-place-wrong-time teenager Tony who provide his means to escape and a future filled with friends and laughter. The plot is simple but sweet as the unlikely trio grapple with the concept of friendship, love, parenthood and comradeship. Throw in some cracking one-liners from bad-guy Rupert Everett and this a funny and slightly off-beam treat.
Killers (Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl)
Another assassin-based comedy, but with better abs. Jen (the very beautiful Heigl) meets Spencer (Kutcher with his shirt off, a lot) on a holiday to Nice with her parents to get over a bad break-up. The break-up soon forgotten, Jen and Spencer embark on a blissful marriage until the day she discovers that her husband isn’t quite what he seems and learns the perils of being the wife of the man who grudgingly admits ‘I work for the blah blah blah and have a licence to blah’. It may be predictable, but this does have some real laugh out loud moments, and Catherine O’Hara as Jen’s mother is a casting masterpiece.
Fingers crossed, England will stay in the contest long enough for me to see Eclipse, and then normal bickering boy vs girl service will be resumed.
