The last one for the year

So here we are- this is the last post for the year and of course the last post of the challenge!

This post is The Amazing Spider-man and This is Spinal Tap combined.
I realised that i hadn't actually watched that film and that it was on the list so that because i had said that this would be the last post then i needed to watch them both on the same day and combine them in this post so now i have.
This is spinal tap is a terrible film. It's a rockmentary of the band Spinal Tap but it's just boring. I didn't know anything about it before watching it- i didn't even know that Spinal Tap were a band so i learnt something there but even so, the music is ok but it just lacked any real action.

So now on to The Amazing Spider-man (of which they have just made a second film). This is a great film. Andrew Garfield is much better than Toby Maguire and the film was overall much better.
If anyone is a Bo Barnum fan then they will understand what i mean by I was just singing about Lizards the whole way through.
I liked the take on the film, starting with a shot of his parents before they die and kinda working up to the main story that everyone knows and remembers. Spider-man was less irritating and pathetic as it went on. The introduction of the new high school girlfriend was kinda cool- especially her connection to science and Oscorp.
I know that someone had to die but why oh why did it have to be him? Uncle Ben had already died, they could've left things happily ever after.

Anywho- enough of me ranting! The film year for me ends tonight (with the Hobbit) so I would like to take this chance to wish all of you out there that have been reading my blog throughout the year a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Signing out for the last time- Clare
