Vantage Point

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

When I saw the trailer I was really psyched to see this movie and this weekend I finally had the opportunity! Dennis Quaid (also one of my favorite actors), Forest Whitaker, Matthew Fox and Sigourney Weaver feature in this movie so can’t be that bad eh? ;) The story is about the American president is being shot in Spain live in front of a huge crowdt and television so the whole world knows what is going on. It’s being told in fragments of roughly 20mins each from a different perspective every time.. making it a very gripping and intense movie to watch! It looks like you are watching the same scene over and over again but every time with another version of the truth.. very well done! :) Some cool plot twists make the movie even more dramatic and it makes you wonder about what’s going on in the world right now..

Penelope

Is it just me or is the whole fantasy genre being loaded with movies that features famous actors? I really don’t mind because I love this kind of movies :) Penelope is about a girl who has the nose of a pig and the reason she  has one is because of curse that a witch lay upon her family. The movie features Christine Ricci and James McAvoy (who we all know from the legendary The Last King Of Scotland). Christine plays the role of Penelope and James plays the role of the only guy who sees beyond her nose ;) Very nice movie with good acting and a nice script with some fun actors!
