take FLIGHT

Last Wednesday as usual, my gentlemen friend & I walked briskly in the cold to our loval cinema...this week the heating was actually working there so we quickly warmed  :)

We went to see Flight. It was really good, very intense, with brilliant acting from Denzel Washington, it was overall a really interesting story (I believe that it is based on a real life story). It had a few laughs and few tears, my only complaint would be that about 20mins in the middle were a bit repetitive and could have been cut out..he gets drunk...pisses someone off & does it again..It felt a bit like time filling until his trial. But overall pretty good film, worth a watch.

Lincoln

Last week was a VERY busy week, it was my boyfriends 30th so I took him to Paris for the day as a surprise and then organised a birthday party for him including baking an epic cake that took me 4 hours, dressing up a room in a pub etc so now I am exhausted, although I think he felt spoiled and happy so it was worth it.

As well as all of that we did manage to get to the cinema on Wednesday, we saw Lincoln, my boyfriend fell asleep halfway through-so that s a pretty good review..despite the fact that it looked amazing and is an interesting story with great actors the whole think is just one big monologue with very little pace change so it was a bit underwhelming, plus the heating in the cinema was broken which doesn't make for a great time.....off to see Flight this week hopefully it will be better!

We watched Inglorious Bastards whilst hungover yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed that, very funny with great costumes and a surprising twists..Tarantino is king.

Orange Wednesdays

So my sporadic posts aren't up to much but I thought I would put a few movie posts up, The boy & I went to 30something films last year at the cinema & intend to smash that total this year (wild aren't we?!)


Last week was Gangster Squad (which I was excited about for weeks as a massive Ryan Gosling fan) and It didn't disappoint, a real glossy Hollywood film with great casting, great set design, amazing costumes, a humorous script & a good story. I thoroughly enjoyed it & wish I looked like Emma Stone!!!

This week was the turn of Django Unchained! This film is rad! The last blaxplotation film I saw was Sweetsweetsweetbackbadass so im not really up on the genre but Tarantino translated it so well into this powerful, gorgeous looking, genre film. It is so cool, like effortlessly cool with huge gore scenes and a great sound track plus Jamie Foxx is great in it. It was a bit weird seeing Jonah Hill pop up as a minor character (I found that kinda distracting and would've cast someone else) and it is very long (physically long but really holds your interest throughout-i almost wet myself because I didn't want to leave the film but needed the loo). Plus the posters are cool...as expected!

So next week I think it'll be Zero Dark Thirty or Lincoln.
