Film Review: The Grey
I really enjoyed The Grey. Like I really REALLY enjoyed it!
First off it is worth noting that the Grey is NOT an action film, no matter what you may have seen from the trailers. If you realise this before you watch it then you too may actually enjoy The Grey as I did and much more than those hoping for Taken Part Two.
To be honest The Grey is not very similar to Taken or other recent Liam Neeson films at all. It is not Neeson versus the big bad wolf nor is it him versus the world and it most certainly is not him being an all-out action star and totally bossing his surroundings as he has done so often in the past. I would go as far as to say that it is not even an action film but instead that The Grey is a drama that just happens to have some wolves in it.
As you can probably already guess The Grey was not what I was expecting at all. The attention to detail by director Joe Carnahan (whose previous work like Narc & Smoking Aces I really enjoyed - but could not be further away from this) is sublime. The dialogue between the survivors of the plane crash is more akin to what you would expect to find in a TomDiCillio or Ed Burns film – rather than a Joe Carnahan one. The scenes with the lads getting to know each other around the campfire are emotional to say the least. The build up to the occasional flash of violence is fantastically well done and the splattering of the wolves throughout reminds us perfectly that it is not just the weather and arctic conditions Neeson and his crew are up against. I never thought I would say this – but The Grey doesn’t actually need the wolves in it to be considered a good film.
Liam Neeson is simply brilliant and when you think about what he has had to go through in his personal life and then what his character goes through in the film – it becomes all the more heartbreaking. I honestly do not know where the acting starts and where real life ends. It must have been a tough time for him making it, all things considered.
It is worth noting too that the way in which the film studio marketed The Grey was nothing less than awful. From seeing the trailers you would think The Grey is man versus animal throughout. I had heard many disappointing reviews of this film; mainly because it was not like it seemed in the trailer at all, in fact I will once again repeat that I do not think The Grey is even an action film – but rather a drama. It's funny in parts, unsettling in others and overall I found it to be a really well made emotionally driven film. But then that's just me.
In conclusion I would recommend The Grey to all Liam Neeson, Joe Carnahan and fans of drama in general. Just make sure you forget everything that happened in the trailers first. Highly recommended (by this reviewer anyway). 4 / 5

Film Review: The Woman In Black
The Woman In Black:
The Woman In Black is pretty good in a non-typical modern horror sort of way. Harry Potter doesn't have a lot to do apart from look slightly ill-at-ease but to be fair to him he never really lost control of where he was at. And by that I mean a lot of other actors could have over-acted their way out of the role or just hammed it up but he set the tone nicely.
There are some genuinely unpleasant and unsettling images that will leave you uneasy (as you would come to expect from any horror) but the thing I liked about this (and what pisses me off about others) is that there was no MacGuffin used to further the plot. Nothing was introduced in the last 10 minutes that felt out of place.
At 78 minutes long it builds the tension quite nicely and you actually feel like you're watching a well thought out story (much like Hammer Horrors used to do back in the day) instead of a rushed splatter-fest that seems to be the norm these days.
While TWIB is not exactly going to set the world on fire it will make you jump (a standard requirement of a Horror you'll no doubt agree) and won't leave you with a bad taste in your mouth when it's over. This along with The Innkeepers are a new breed of film that half one foot firmly planted in reality and that to me makes a Horror much more enjoyable.
The Woman In Black is nothing new or remarkable - but when you consider how the majority of every other Horror film is made these days then it certainly is remarkable in that aspect. I enjoyed it and it'll give you Goosebumps but not nightmares. Definitely worth the look on a cold dark night (and at under an hour & half it'll fly through). Here’s hoping this is the return of Hammer Horror. A steady and sturdy 3/5

Video Schpiel: Toddlers & Tiaras with Tom Hanks
From Jimmy Kimmel Live;
I'm kinda coming around to Tom Hanks again. He needs to stay away from the melodrama and Julia Roberts though. And maybe Meg Ryan too.
