Passport to Paris (1999)
Here's what I think...
Now, I watched this when I was hungover one Sunday and my auntie and uncle were visiting one day with my 2 cousins (one was 11, the other 9). We stuck on the TV and Passport To Paris had just started. My cousins both had said that they watch Two Of A Kind sometimes and I said they could watch the film if they liked. Since I was in no fit state to get up, I just stayed in the living room with them and ended up watching the film! I have to say, as a person who has no interest in those kinds of TV shows or films, I actually enjoyed it... it must have been the alcohol lol but I do admit, it would probably only appeal more to girls aged between 6 and 13, but it was a movie to pass the time. There's always a movie or a show that you don't think you'll like, but for a laugh, you enjoyed it.
The Descent (2005)
how many heart attacks can one person stand?
I went to this film expecting to be trembling with fear and I was 99.9% right. It was very jumpy... when the music starts you know something is coming up and you prepare yourself for it but it still catches you off guard... like a good horror film should.
I loved the all female team... very refreshing to see. The only male was the husband at the beginning who only lasted around 5-10 minutes. I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that they weren't all American actresses. Only one was American. The others were a mixture of Irish, English and Scottish. But it seemed like a huge budget American film... hard to explain but usually British just don't cut it, so this was a real treat!
A lot of good twists, gory/bloody scenes and what I was quite impressed with, although not surprising, was the one-liners some of the characters came out with. Added a bit of humour to it now and again, which was ideal as I love comedy the most.
One death scene caused a lot of upset for one of the characters, and it did hit a nerve with me. That was a good little bit in the story, to keep it real to the fact that here are these 5 or 6 friends who are all fighting for their lives and they desperately need their friends when things go wrong.
If you haven't got time to see it at the cinema, rent it on video/DVD as soon as it's released near you! Well worth it! But you will need someone to grab onto at the jumpy parts.
