I've watched a good few films of late.
Continuing on with the Guinea Pig Series: Mermaid in a Manhole LoL - well firstly, I had to check this out due to such an outrageous title. I have to say, so far this has had the best story and plot of the Guinea Pig Series to date. Not that that's saying much admittedly but the story was ok, the gore was typically splendid ( green, blue, purple, yellow, orange and black puss to use as paint for a painting) I mean that's special lol!! I won't tell much about the story apart from if you have a phobia of worms this movie is not for you! 6.5/10 He Never Dies Another in the Guinea Pig Series this one is more of a comedy. It is about a guy who is bored with his life and work and so decided to kill himself - that's nothing new I hear you say - well, this guy tries everything. He slits his wrist, his blood runs dry and he doesn't die. He smashes an axe into his skull, the axe sticks and he continues to defy the odds and so you get the comedy. Not a bad effort and with a running time of just over 40 mins it's not all bad. 6/10 Armageddon I continued my viewing with watching this for the first time and I have to say yes it's incredibly cheesy - yes it's one of them god bless America films in the ilk of Independence Day but we Brits sometimes, sometimes dig this. lol. Definetley a popcorn movie and I found it entertaining enough so... 7/10 Elephant I put this on expecting a treat after the numerous great reviews it recieved. I have to say for the first 20 mins or so (the film runs for 75 mins) I was at a loss as to what was happening and got the impression it was being far too 'arty'. However, now having watched it I really appreciate the different approach this film had to the subject of mass murder / serial slayings. It took the perspective of the victims from the start using flashbacks and telling the story from every 'main' persons point of view. this was particularly effective as once they were killed you were left feeling for the characters. Having said all that, I think parts of the film could have been speeded up a little (did we really have to sit and listen to Eric Clebold play Beethoven in his bedroom on the piano ALL the way through)? I personally thought they were Mansonites so am sure Marilyn would have something to say after the finger of blame was pointed at him in the press - hey blame Beethoven!! How clockwork Orange! This was a decent effort and I will be interested to see what the director has made of kurt Cobain's 'Last Days'. 6.5/10 Batteries Not Included After such heavy subjects as mass murder I plumped for the old 80's classic - Batteries not Included and had a blast! I loved this film all of them years ago, god bless DVD for bringing it back! Thoroughly enjoyed this once more 10/10

The Ape
James Franco (Spider-man, Tristan & Isolde) directs, writes, produces, and stars in The Ape. The Ape is about Harry Walker (James Franco), a struggling author who can't get past the first two words of his book because of the interference of his wife and son. So, he moves out of his house and gets an apartment for some alone time. Well, that doesn't work out to well ash he discovers that there is a talking ape living in his apartment (who's name is ape). Other shit happens (literally), but I'm not going to take up your time with the summary. On to my review. I thought The Ape could've been much better, especially since it made me laugh from time to time. But, it's problem that bugged me was that the music didn't fit into the story at all and threw me off and the camera was very shaky most of the time. This is sad, because I like James Franco. I think he's ambitious (like his character Harry Walker in the movie) and really had something going here. Not only was this is a comedy (a dark one at that), but it had a melodrama feel to it too. Especially around the ending (which I won't ruin for you since I'm not that kind of guy). I just wish that Franco would've done a little bit better on the camerawork and the music, because it really pushed the movie off of the ladder. Pretty much hitting the floor. Better luck next time Franco! 2 and a half stars out of 5
