PARIS VO CINEMA RELEASES!

This month the very witty, charming, and dare we say seductively sexy Cecily Weeks has taken a wry look at this months new releases

• FUNKY CHOICE
  • The Dark Knight 10/10This most recent batman film is the only one not to contain the word Batman “something” in the title, and also unlike its predecessors it is the first batman film to completely transcend the comic book to film pitfall that almost invariably befalls this genre. The film once again sees Welsh actor Christian Bale dawn the infamous latex codpiece and wings. Working together with the newly appointed commissioner Gordon. The two fight to overcome the ever present crime in the city, this time represented by heath Ledger as the Joker. you would have had to be stuck on a desert island to not to hear the hype about Heaths method acting technique, apparently holing himself up in a hotel and taking all kinds of mind bending chemicals in order to further in delve himself into the role, this extreme was linked to his death and apparently has resulted in the performance of a lifetime (literally) from Ledger who has already been tipped for an Oscar award. What ever about the tenner its going to cost you to see the film the real question is can you afford not to see it?
• Other Releases This Month
  • WALL-E 8/10This all round family film sees something original thrown into the usual computer animated formula and that is … a moral. A few hundred years into the future we humans have polluted the earth to the extent that even we are so disgusted that all man kind as fucked off and left this poor little robot Wall-e to clean up our shit. This robot is like the little brother of “Short Circuits” Johnny 5(random 80s film), and spends his days alone cleaning and watching the same TV show over and over again.
    Heart breaking stuff. Until EVE a fancy new i-pod esque robot appears and the cute little toaster falls in lurvvve. VO or VF won’t really be an issue in the film as the better, earlier half takes place with basically no dialogue when Wall-e courts Eve on an abandoned planet earth using our rubbish to charm his “lady”. But then the plot kicks in and the charm of the film is somewhat lost. A bunch of dramatic events kick in pouf it’s all over. Not as funny as Shrek not as predictable as Kung fu Panda. With the now standard amazing computer animation, it’s defiantly worth seeing and one everyone is going to be talking about.
  • The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon 3/10The three is for basic effort and just the pure gall it must take to name a film after something that doesn’t even appear in it. This over worked franchise sees Brendan Fraiser take the lead for the fourth time. Lets be fair here this style of film is so overworked in the Hollywood industry (Indiana Jones anyone) that the plots not really worth mentioning, neither are the typical computer special effects. If you’re really stuck go watch it, otherwise go see the Dark Knight again.
  • X-Files: I Want to Believe 5/10Only someone born after the mid nineties wouldn’t have an idea what this film is about. The famous FBI duo once again seek “The Truth”. This film though is okay for non fans as it can be watched completely as a stand alone piece. It co-stars comedian Billie Connelly who I quite like, but he’s not cracking any jokes unfortunately. Either you are a sci-fi x-files fanatic and this what you have been counting down until since the last released Star Trek film or your not and you will just probably be just mildly entertained, and have wished that you had gone to see the dark night again.
  • Broken English 6/10For anyone who has had enough of all these mega blockbusters you will enjoy this modest New York film. This feel good film settles in to the chick flick category. It follows the life and dating misfortunes of the heroine Nora Wilder. Our lead character is a hopeless thirty something single who after a string of misfortunes finds herself on the verge of giving up. That is until a visiting French man swoops in to renew her belief in love and a lot more. The films second half is shot here in Paris, when our leading lady follows the too near perfect French man there. Worth going to just to give your ears and eyes a break from the Hollywood crap, or to compare notes on dating French men.
