Crazy, Stupid Love

Nothing stupid about this romcom - it's what romantic comedy's are all about! Instead of bad one-liners we have some real comedy, thanks to Steve Carell and a surprisingly funny Ryan Gosling. Yes boys, this is one you probably even enjoy! From the usual "lonely girl seeking soul mate" saga, we have a divorcee who's suddenly re-introduced to the savage yet sexy dating scene, and instead of the usual faces (ahem, Jennifer Aniston) we've got a cast of fresh blood.

This is definitely one for the big screen - funny and heart-warming and a good night out. Off you go then!

Rating: 4 outta 5.

Cowboys & Aliens

To quote movie guru Roger Ebert: "Here is a movie set in 1873 with cowboys, aliens, Apaches, horses, spaceships, a murdering stagecoach robber, a preacher, bug-eyed monsters, a bartender named Doc, a tyrannical rancher who lives outside a town named Absolution, his worthless son, two sexy women, bandits, a magic bracelet, an ancient Indian cure for amnesia, a symbolic hummingbird, a brave kid with a spyglass, and a plucky dog who follows the good guys for miles and miles through the barren waste and must be plumb tuckered out." Sheesh. Got that?

It's a mish-mash from the minds of Jon Favreau and Steven Spielberg, and since it interweaves so many genres doesn't always work out so well. It is however an interesting experiment and one worth giving a bash.
