Minions


Ok so the film I watched this time was The Minions movie, witch was written by Brian Lynch who also worked on Puss In Boots and Hop. Minions was also directed by Kyle Balda who worked on The Lorax and Monsters Inc, he wrote this along with Pierre Coffin who also worked on Despicable me 1 and 2 but Pierre also is the person who also voices all of the minions in the films.

So lets have a little bit of a re-cap hopefully i don't spoil anything about this film seeing as this is a brand new film out, so for thousands if not millions of years minions have always served the most despicable of masters. when one day they loose their master and have to live in a ice cave in the Arctic. When one day a few of the minions notice that they have no real purpose in life anymore and that is why they have gotten so depressed. One lonely minion decides that he id going to get a group together to see if they can find a new master to serve. 

Ok so lets talk about the cast, and to be honest there isn't many people to talk about as the director Pierre Coffin voices all 800+ minions in the film so lets talk about the two new additions to the film Scarlet Overkill and Herb Overkill, so lets start off with the woman in the relationship Miss Scarlet
Overkill who is voiced by someone who I wouldn't of thought of, Miss Sandra Bullock who has been in a lot of films but you might know her from Miss Congeniality 1&2.  Sandra Overkill is the best in the business, the minions find scarlet at a convention with all of the worlds villain and get to work with her and her husband and help them try and take over the world. Scarlet and her husband Herb Overkill who is played by Jon Hamm who you may know from his work on Shreck Forever
After and Million Dollar Arm. Scarlet and Herb live in this massive house and they could ever want that have one thing left that they want to do, want to rule England.









Ok so my thoughts on this film that this is definitely a kids movie, I love the despicable me films and I could watch them all day every day, but minions is more of a kids film, its tailored to kids more then adults and for that I am going to give it a 2.5/10. It was watchable and the only reason I would buy it would be because I have the other films and it could complete my collection but that's the only reason.Please leave your thoughts and opinions on the film in the comments and please leave some suggestions of films that you would like me to check out as well.

Silent Hill

The film I watched today was Silent Hill directed by Christophe Gans who also directed films such as Brotherhood of the wolf witch was also a horror film, and Crying freeman with was also an action thriller horror film. The writer of this film is Roger Avary witch you may know as the person who co-wrote films such as Pulp fiction and Reservoir dogs. First of all I thought that the cast was simply perfect for this film with Radha Mitchell as Rose Da Silva who may also know her from films such as Pitch Black  with Vin Diesel and Finding Neverland with Johnny Depp.In this film she plays this brilliant mum that is willing to go to hell and back to save her daughters  life no matter what is standing in her way, and will not back away from a fight to save her own family. Next you have Jodelle Ferland who plays Roses daughter Sharon and also Alessa but I have to say even tho she plays two people in this film witch can be difficult for any actress/actor but she managed t...
