04/05/13 Iron Man 3 (2013)

Robert Downey Jnr plays a gobshite inventor of impossible gadgets, but you probably know that as the entire world has seen at least one of these films.

Anyway, 14 years ago, Tony Stark tells Mike from Neighbours to meet him on the roof in twenty minutes and decides to blow him out and shag some woman who collects exploding plants instead.

After waiting for a while on the roof, Mike realises that Stark isn't coming and decides that'll he'll get his revenge by turning into an angry glow-worm, buying a nice house for Ben Kingsley and blowing people up with his army of glow-bombs.

Too long, plot holes you could reverse Denmark into and too much CGI. However, as (I assume) this film's mostly made for kids, it's one of the better enormo-budget efforts. First Iron Man's by far the best though.

Also, I kid you not, Croydon is mentioned.

Me and my brother saw it in Croydon. It was a magic, Croydon-y moment.

Aah, Croydon.

05/05/12 The Silent House (La Casa Muda) (2010)

About time someone made this film. My house just never shuts up, it's all "blah, blah, blah this" or "Blah, blah, blah that". Bastard thing. Still, something called "The Gobshite Domicile" would probably be a very different film.

As for this one, it's about a woman and her dad who turn up at a knackered cottage to renovate it for a friend. The first night they're there, there's some noises upstairs, papa goes to investigate and gets attcked by someone, then lays on the floor being a  bit dead or something. The daughter then ambles around the house for ages, a few more things happen, there's an unlikely twist then it ends.

It's filmed in the style of one continous shot and, a few obvious cut points aside, this is definately the film's most meritorious aspect. The acting's OK but it waddles along at a ponderous speed, some character actions are very questionable and the twist is rectum.

5/10
