Ollie's Favorite Movies


Kick-Ass Kick-Ass R
I hadn't hyped up this film at all. When I first heard about it I thought it was going to be some crap, cheesy teenage comedy but then I heard nothing but excellent reviews about it and I started to get excited. I simply cannot flaw it. The only thing that I noticed that was wrong was that the marshmallows hadn't melted on the hot chocolates when they got back (which I only noticed because the guy next to me said it). The style it's shot in is superb. It grabs you from the word go with a great opening. The introduction to each of the characters are amazing. It's so funny and the audience was laughing the whole time. The best character is easily Hit Girl who makes a superb entrance into the film. I wont say anything that happens in the film but it's full of laughs all the way through and so many quotes that don't seem out of place at all. The pacing is great and the soundtrack sounded weird when I saw the track-list on iTunes but is AMAZING and fits into the film perfectly and maintains it's comic feel and that it's not taking itself to seriously. At least three times I thought the film was going to end when it didn't. I'm not complaining but it just had so many amazing scenes in it. The cast are great in their roles and none of them feel out of place. There's jokes and laughs coming thick and fast from all directions, and there's lots of references in it that will please comic book fans. I'm surprised the film actually got a 15 rating. There's so much gore and swearing that I'm surprised it wasn't an 18. I'm not complaining though as I think film ratings need to relax a bit. It's hard to put how amazing this film was into words. It's easily one of the best films I've ever seen and I recommend all of you to go and see it. I really want to see it again though which is something I don't usually want to do with films in the cinema. Anyway... Kick Ass is an AMAZING film and I recommend it highly to everyone. I for one will definitely be getting the DVD (or Blu-Ray) the day it comes out. 9.5/10
Fight Club Fight Club R
Really good film. Gripping story and great acting. Edward Norton acts amazingly well as does Brad Pitt and create very real and believable characters. It did get quite confusing towards the end and I'm still not sure if I understood it correctly. But nevertheless it's an amazingly well done film. Certainly in my top five movies and I recommend it to everyone. 10/10
