Run away from everything in 'Run Fatboy Run'

Directed by David Schwimmer and staring Simon Pegg, Run Fatboy Run was released in 2007.

The film starts with a flashback to the lead characters wedding day and from then continues to use flashbacks to aid the films comedy element.

Throughout the film, Dennis runs away from all responsibilities until running becomes his only option to win his family back.

Of course, good overcomes bad in the film to leave with a happy ending, typical of comedy films.

The 'Da Vinci Code' not as good as the book

Released in 2006, and based on the Dan Brown novel, The Da Vinci Code gives a different view on what could be the Holy Grail.

The film starts off with a lot of action and for anyone who has read the book, there appears to be a lot more action in the film, than is portrayed in the novel, this of course helps to keep the viewer watching the film.

The film requires the audience to be able to watch and follow what is happening as there is two parts to the story happening all the time; both involve the hunt for the Holy Grail, but there is also the police involvement which adds to the action in the film.

The film has a lot of visual effects, keeping the audience wanting to watch, but also keeping the tension built up and in certain parts making the film seem slightly scarier than it is. Flashbacks also help this tension when characters remember things from the past, which happens a lot when Sophie is remembering her childhood with her grandfather.

Overall, the film is definitely worth a watch, but be prepared for it being a long film, and if you've read the book then don't expect it to be quite as good.
