A Hottie and a Nottie

Triangle
Melissa George, Liam Hemsworth, Michael Dorman
Melissa- Since i've had my teeth done i can't close my mouth properly - George hops on a boat with a couple of mates and heads off across the sea on a lovely day out, only to be caught in a big bad mother of a storm.....Obviously! Out of the blue, as if from nowhere, all of a sudden, surprise surprise, there's a big eerie Ocean Liner coming their way. They board and then the rest of the film is met with twist after turn after twist with Melissa looking like a guppy gasping for breath. I'm usually pretty good at spotting the ending of a good mooovie, so was a little disappointed in myself when my so called ending came and then royally went.......and then there was another half an hour of twisty turny, could that be the end....no it wasn't....how about now......nope...ah!.....there it is!! I thoroughly enjoyed Triangle. Totally got what the director/writer Mr Christopher Smith (of Severance and Creep fame) wanted to do and he certainly did it very well. Loved the tension although thought there could have been more character building to create more shock and the uncomfortable Ms George never really being able to keep her lips shut without looking like a masticating filly!

Angels & Demons
Tom Hanks, Ewen McGregor, Stellan Skarsgard
Now! I have to admit I shouldn't really be commenting on this considering I fell asleep after the first 1.45hr........that in itself is never a good sign! Mr Hanks comes back as Symbolist, Robert Langdon to solve a murrrrrder with clues leading to the age old misfits and mischief makers...the Illuminati. Blah blah blah. The Scottish Ewen McGregor makes an appearance as an Irish Priest...oh sorry, Camerlengo (did you not know that all Irish folk are religious???) and then much chasing around the Vatican for clues to find four captured cardinals and some energy source as powerful as the "Big Bang" theory. Next there's 45 mins worth or "Oooh look, that statues pointing over there, lets follow it" "OMG, that drawing of a thumb is pointing upwards, lets climb that ladder" "WOW, that spear seems to be pointing directly at that deserted van, that must be the last clue" *yawn* With a storyline as bad as Hank's hair plugs, you're not really going to be happy at spending 146mins waiting for the lame ending *husband told me when i woke up and it's pretty rubbish*. Note to Ron Howard.....sometimes less is actually more
