The Lego Movie - Quick Film Review ♥

Hey guys!
First film review of the year!
This weekend me and my brother sat down to watch 'The Lego Movie'.

Plot from Google:

An ordinary Lego construction worker, thought to be the prophesied 'Special', is recruited to join a quest to stop an evil tyrant from gluing the Lego universe into eternal stasis.

Let me just start off my saying "Everything in this film is not awesome".
I honestly thought I was going to love this film!
Its an animation, is about Lego and is a normal person trying to save the world!
The animation of this film is out of this world and would be amazing in 3D. The Lego is so realistic you want to reach out and grab it and start playing with it yourself but I didn't enjoy it.
The only part of the film I actually enjoyed and thought was amazing was the beginning bit where we first meet our main character going through his morning ritual. That was clever and funny both at the same time!
I know there is going to be a Lego Movie 2 and I do hope it is better than the first one but squeals are never as good as the film one in many cases of animated films but we can all hope! I guess we will have to wait until 2018 to see how it is!
What do you guys think about this film?

Do you like it or dislike it?

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day - Film Review! ♥

Hey Guys!
So today me and Jess went to see
"Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"
It is such a long name for a film for a not very long film haha!

Plot from Google:

Following the exploits of 11-year-old Alexander as he experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life-a day that begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by one calamity after another, but when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns that he's not alone when his brother, sister, mom and dad all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day after making a wish. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a bad day just hasn't had one.
 

The real reason for me and Jess going to see this film was because of the song at the end... The Vamps have a song called Hurricane which is features at the end of the film! Me and Jess fell in love with the song and when we found out it was for this film we just had to go and see it!
We had the cinema to ourselves which was fabulous! We could sing, laugh and talk and not worry about other people in the theater haha!

Every single actor and actress in this film fit the role perfectly!
Steve Carell is hilarious and as seen in previous film makes a wonderful fake dad and i am not really a huge fan of Jennifer Garner but she also fit the role perfectly! Also I have never seen a cuter baby than the one in this film!
The film has elements of Australia in it which Jess LOVED! haha!This film is a good old family good feeling film! It is also a good uplifting film as it shows not only children but adults that if a day starts bad it can get better! Life lessons from a film are my favorite!
I would 110% recommend you going to see this film at your local cinema (if it is showing) and enjoy it!
I know it is Disney but everyone needs a bit of Disney in their lives from wishing you were a princess to watching a little family film like this one!

Let me know what you guys think of this film if you have seen it!
Hope you are having a wonderful day or evening wherever you are!

Crazy cinema experience! ♥

Hey guys!

So yesterday (Thursday 29th August 2013) me and my friend Jess went to see  One Directions new film 'This is us' in our local cinema.

I'm not going to do a whole blog post about the film because it is truly one of those films you have to go and see for yourself to enjoy it! It's an actual eye opener on the boy's life and now they act like normal boys and have fun with being on the road, you also get a look back on their lives before and it's just all cute and wonderful! 

Anyways back to what this blog post is really about. While we were waiting for the trailers to start and then finally the film three very friendly women with capital FM  hoodies walked through the door! I started jumping around and predicting why they were in there and I was right! They had tickets in their hands! 

If you don't know why I was so excited if because there is a festival in Birmingham this weekend called Fusion Festival were loads of amazing acts all come together for the weekend! Me and Jess had already got tickets for Sunday and we were throwing back and forth on the idea of getting them for Saturday and its a good thing that we didn't! 

The three lovely women asked for someone to go down to the front and answer a question about Jessie J and a 7/8 year old boy ran down to the front to answer the question which would win EVERYONE in the cinema at that time a ticket to the Saturday section of the festival. And guess what?! HE ANSWERED IT RIGHT!! bless him because it was a room full of people and he must of been really nervous. 

But yeah that was my crazy cinema experience! It was just a quick post but I hope you all have a wonderful Friday with what ever your doing and make sure you go check 'This is us' out at your local cinema!

Despicable Me 2 ♥

Hey Guys!

I hope you're all having a great summer holiday, even thought the weather in the UK isn't to the best standards has it has been in a while.

Today's post is going to be about Despicable me 2!

Now for some of you out there that don't know what despicable me is, its a film based around a criminal mastermind that uses 3 orphan girls to help him with his new master plan but throughout the film his love grows for the 3 girls and changes him into a better person! The first film ends with the once criminal mastermind adopting the girls and taking care of them. 

The second film is still along the same lines as the first one, they both have the genre of Family/Animation/Comedy/Crime. This film does have a little love twist which the other one didn't have. In this film Gru the main character who is the voice of Steve Carell gets asked to work for the Anti-Villain League to help discover a new powerful super criminal. We still have the family bond in this which is nice to see. The 3 girls who Gru adopts are Margo, Agnes and Edith. The 3 girls are played but Miranda Cosgrove, Elsie Fisher and Dana Gaier! All 3 of them play a big part in both of the films and allows younger views to connect to them via their animated actions in the film.

We also get to meet many new characters in this film which is good for us as an audience so we don't get too bored with the same characters but lets be honest who can honestly say their bored with the minions around! 

I love the minions in these films so much, they are so cute and you could just imagine if they were real ha! It would be the best thing that would have ever happened, sad I know but they literally make me laugh so much that my sides hurt and now that there are the purple evil minions that have been Introduced to us it makes it even funnier :D

My opinion;

Personally this film is amazing and I loved every minute of It at the cinema and would 110% go watch it again without a moment of hesitation. It's a feel good, laugh out loud film and we all need a good laugh in a while! 

I took my brother to see this film and he loved it just as much as I did! 

If you get the chance too I would defiantly go see it in the cinema in 3D because some of the 3D effects it are mind blowing especially at the end, so make you you stay until after the little sections of credits to see the extra minion part at the end! 

Overall I would give this film a 4.9 stars out of 5 because its a great film but I still think the original still wins my heart! 

I hope this sort of helped you guys with deciding is it your type of film or not but like I have said before you need to experience the viewing for yourself to know if you like it it not! So why not go for a couple of hours "day out" to the cinema and give it a go! 

Have a good day/night

The Croods (2013) Review ♥

FILM REVIEW!

So last weekend it was my brothers 10th birthday and he's been wanting to go and see "The Croods" for ages. Now i know it has been in the cinema a while now but it's very rare that i visit the cinema unlike many people who visit it every week or two. So this is my thoughts on it and a little bit of background information on the film, your thoughts may be different if you have seen the film, but enjoy and let me know if you want future film reviews!

To the left of this writing you will see the official film poster that is used to promote the film (Image taken from IMDb). As we can see from this poster the film is an animation presented by Dream Works which alongside with Disney is one of my favorite film companies.  I guess the child in me prefer to watch animations than real actors acting ha!

If you're ever thinking of going to see a film i would recommend you watch the trailer a couple of times to get the sort of gist of the story. 

This story is following a family thought the devastation of their cave being destroyed and how they are have to trek to what seems like the opposite side of the world for a safe haven. The characters in this film have the voices of many actors that are well-known house hold names. For example we have Emma Stones who is the voice of Eep, Nicholas Cage who is the voice of Grug and Ryan Reynolds who is the voice of guy.  
The actors to me didn't really bother me, but i do love Emma Stone as a actress so i knew her character would be amazing anyway, which she was!
Like many films the trailer does show most the best parts of the film, but this film did have sections that weren't shown which i enjoyed a lot! 
I did end up crying towards the end of the film which really surprised me with how funny and entertaining the film was before that section, if you're very emotional take some tissues! I don't want to ruin it for anyone who is looking to go and see it so I'm not wanting to give the storyline away too much! 
One of my all time favourite characters in this film is the sloth who is called belt, bizarre name right? It does make seance when he is first introduced to the film, he is so cute and me along side with a couple of  others have a thing about sloths, the main person would probably have to be Amy who you guys already known from a previous blog post!
I fully enjoyed this film and would be more than happy to go and see it again, I personally think it will be one of those films that I will never get bored of. 
I do fully recommend you go and see this film with your family or maybe a couple of friends if you enjoy this kind of film, If I was to give it a star rating I would give it around a 4.5 which I think is fair due to many films having those little flaws that you just pick at but its a great family film!
Thank you guys for reading my first film review, it isn't a full on review as I'm not if you guys are going to want more of these or not, let me know, I'm open to any suggestions!
I hope you guys had a fabulous weekend and have an amazing bank holiday! 
Take care x
