Goal of the Dead (2014)
A little gem
Much better than I was expecting, this film was a gem.
The plot keeps moving at pace and is sharp and witty throughout. Though not exactly the walking dead, the "zombies" and very well choreographed and there's some delightfully gory scenes.
But the heart of this film lies in the endearing and well written characters who kept my interest all the way through, with some great one liners.
Some of the special effects are really stand-out, and had me whooping. Not many films would leave one cheering for the football hooligans. Mutant rage monsters and football...a killer combination.
The Lone Ranger (2013)
Great entertainment
No, I am not being overly enthusiastic. I have just been to see this with my family and friends and I was genuinely surprised at what a good film this is.
I thought it was fast paced, and the action sequences were very well executed - with a good mix of action and humour throughout.
I could wax lyrical around the competence and skill of cast and crew but the key to my enjoyment of this film was that it really was a great deal of fun and wasn't afraid to laugh at itself - and we laughed right along with it. All the elements came together. This wasn't a rehash of that great TV series we watched as children - but something for a new generation.
Spoiler - when The Lone Ranger theme tune began, I looked around the packed cinema and every man, woman and child had a grin on their faces. As much as I wanted to be indifferent The Lone Ranger, I just couldn't.
An underrated film with a lot of heart and a great deal of fun. Well worth watching.
