    The Impossible

    I saw this film unintentionally. And it's just awful, i can't be asked to even write something properly...Argh. SPOILER ALERT, turns out ' The Impossible ' was possible...They should of called it The Impossible to watch. Within the first 10 seconds i wanted them all to drown, it was made more entertaining by adding " you stupid cunt" to every sentence. But topping my fun was pretending to be a boxing commentator while people were being bashed about to death…

    Probably the best film i have seen for a long time. It's definitely on par with Little Miss Sunshine as one of those reflective and deeply satisfying films.

I suppose many people will relate and identify themselves with the content and emotions of this adventure, which is why the audience for this film is as wide as Katie Price's cunt. The music as well was sensational, they didn't use "heroes" greatly in my opinion, but i'll let them off...

    As much as i hate Seth Rogen and believe me i do...this is perhaps the only film he is bearable in. He still plays the weed smoking best friend in a cliche and boring manner, however for once it fits the relationship he has with Joesph Gordon-Levitt. This film grew on me like the cancer it's about...and with delicate material like this, its a prime example of films evolving for the better. You know a film is worthwhile when you instantly reflect back on it afterwards comparing it to your own life...
