So this week I managed to see 2 pretty good flics (for a change). Firstly Horton Hears A Who, Dr Seuss's delightful tale of an idiosyncratic elephant's relationship with the Whos; and especially the lovely-jovely, bumbly-mumbly Mayor of Whoville. Horton discovers the Whos, after hearing a noise coming from a speck of speckyness as it floats by. This speck it soon becomes apparent is in grave danger of ceasing to be, and Horton as such, must save it and the Whos from this impending Dooooom, ie mankind's ability to destroy anything and everything. Jim Carrey's and Steve Carell's voices work fabulously in this really enjoyable and at times funny animation, brought to us by the creators of Ice Age. I totally loved Vlad Vladikoff the hit-man/vulture and even more so Horton's son Jo-Jo, a Goth-Emo-ic Holden Caulfield for the CGI generation. (5.55)
27 Dresses was a totally enjoyable, if not original, rom-com staring Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up) and James Marsden (Enchanted). She's the eternal bridesmaid he's the cynical journalist writing wedding reviews and you'll pretty much guess the rest from here. Brain-numbingly nice. (5.35)
And the winner is ....... Horton Hears A Who. (Watch it in your bathroom, whatever that is)
