After a week recovering from a car accident and having to say goodbye to my beloved Cinquecento I am happy to finally be returing to form. Thanks for the well wishes everyone !
This weekend I watched the movie 'Super'. To be honest I had never heard of this before and only came across it for £2 in a charity shop ! If I had to describe it in one word it would be .....strange. The intro theme goes on way to long with some poor artwork, but as the film continues the reasons for this crayon monstrosity becomes clear. I rekon alot of people may have turned this off within the first 15 minutes, despite the line up of good ( or maybe just famous ) actors. Ellen Page, Kevin Bacon and Liv Tyler make it seem like this movie should have been screaming at us from the trailers 'WATCH US'.
It is totally bizarre and if you can survive the first 20 minutes and the extremely odd tentacle hallucination (yes really) then this movie certainly is worth watching. If you can pick it up for a few pounds I recommend it , but its probably not a repeat viewer. The ending is nicely put together and brings a smile to your face but the lead character isn't exactly likeable. Its not paticularly funny or overly noir.
to summarise, - odd, thought provoking, psycho Ellen Page.
Sounds like your kinda thing? Go for it !
