Random Review on: Morgan Spurlock documentary "Mansome"


I randomly stumbled upon this Morgan Spurlock (SuperSize Me) documentary yesterday.
Mansome examines the wonderful world of male grooming; from tanning salons to body hair removal to extreme male pampering.
All things I essentialy love (sic).
There are no lumberjacks, crab fisherman, football players or hockey players, just a lot of the metrosexual type male discussing their pampering technics and routines...sometimes obsessive routines..
This film delves into the strange and wonderful (sic* I think I threw up) world of male grooming, from a male and even a female perspective
All I can say is this movie is  "Fresh Balls". Think manscaping.
With commentary from Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Zack Galifianakis, JuddApatow and Paul Rudd
Entertaining, hilarious and at times strange 7/10

Review on Guillermo Del Toro presents; Mama


Being a fan of Guillermo Del Toro I was quite excited to see this film
Del Toro is to unconventional fantasy-fantastic-creepy-thriller-scifi as Quentin Tarantino is to over the top action genre films.
If you are a fan of the unconventional, pay attention because anything he's presenting should peek your interest.
Per my previous entry, Mama is based on a Spanish short.
The movie is  dark and has an unsettling eerie vibe to it.
Mama reminded me a lot of  El orfanato aka The orphanage, combining creepy children,  ghosts, an original troubling story and did i mention creepy kids.
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie; the effects were good and spooky,the story was refreshingly original and the ended ( which may upset some) was just to my liking.
A very satisfying horror film. 7/10
