So how many 2010 Festival de Cannes films have you seen?

Moi? Only 3! Terrible I know, and out of these three only one was in the competition - Biutiful with Javier Bardem - he deserved his Best Actor award and he should of won a few more.

The other Cannes 2010 films I saw was Robin Hood with Russell Crowe and his bizarre accent, I gave it 3 stars out of 5, losing one star for the accent and another for the fast action scenes, I didn’t think they were merde, they just gave me terrible eye strain has I was sitting in the third row. No need to pay extra for 3D just sit close to the screen instead. The third film I saw was Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps 2 out of 5 stars, it lost 2 stars because I feel asleep thought the first Wall Street film the night before so some bits I didn’t get.

There is only one small cinema (that I know of) that shows indie and foreign films in Boredville -The Mac (macarts.co.uk). It’s a hour’s drive away so My Movie Mate and I try and put a little bit of culture into our lives at least once a month but still only managed to watch Biutiful. Here in Boredville there are loads of big multiplex mega screen cinemas which all show the same films - big budget Hollywood ones. Which is good , I love a good action film full of explosions, car chases , blood and gore, or after a crappy day stuck in the office a comedy preferring boys toilet humour like the Hangover and Hall Pass to romantic comedies, because seriously when you’re trying to move on from someone you love watching a rom-com is not the way forward.

Romantic comedy formula:
Ordinary girl (gorgeous fit Hollywood actress wears glasses) meets hot boy.
Hot boy doesn’t notice or like her
She has a make over (removes glasses) and now looks hot.
Hot boy now wants to be with her and they live happy ever after.

Yeah right like that’s going to happen in Boredville, I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and get out there.
