Movie of the Week: Project X

So after last week's debut Movie of the Week post, I decided to follow it up with my most recent cinema outing to see Project X.

Project X is basically every mad night you've ever had, ever heard about and ever watched all in one. 

This high school meets major debauchery meets disaster movie is from the producers of The Hangover movies, Old School and Due Date and stars a bunch of relatively unknown young actors. There was only guy in the whole thing that I actually recognised and I am too ashamed to admit from where. Okay it was Footloose the abominable remake. 

So Project X is nothing less of amazing. Of course it will get mixed reviews because it's about a bunch of teenagers throwing a party but I think that if you even look past the storyline of the whole thing, it is actually a exceptionally well produced movie. The soundtrack is so good, downloaded already! The editing and actual filming of the movie is fantastic. I think that the idea to film it all on a hand-held camera and camera phones was such an inspired idea because it really reflects the whole kind of zeitgeist of people posting videos on Youtube and FB. It also brings you right into the movie Blair Witch style. Now this may be because my friends and I were sitting right into the front row. While the front row has glamorous connotations for anything fashion related, for the cinema it doesn't. If you do decide to go and see this movie I really recommend sitting in the front row because well, you'll just have to see for yourself! 

This movie is apparently based on the phenomenon that was Corey's Party which took place a couple of yeas ago in Melbourne Australia. If you haven't heard about this before then click HERE. I saw a video on Youtube the other day that showed Corey's "apology" and to be honest he was a total asshole! The main character in Project X is a bit of a nerd and he's quite sweet so you are definitely rooting for him the whole movie which I think is important for the whole storyline of the movie. 

I would most definitely watch this movie again. I would literally watch it tomorrow! Have way through the movie you'll be like "all I want to do is throw a party and listen to party rap music and drink shots and form dance circles and stuff!" and then towards the end of the movie you'll be like "I am never throwing a party. Ever". It has a happy ending though! I promise!

Also if you're in the Galway area then you will have undoubtedly heard about the RAG week antics last month. The lads at FlipSave made this incredible video which pretty much sums up the madness of it all!

Cheers for reading,
