Handful of stars...

There's a few spoilers, be warned!:

Jupiter Ascending: A mash-up of almost every sci-fi ever put together badly. The story line develops WAAAY to fast, bringing a whole new meaning to love at first sight. There are vast areas of unanswered and unexplained plot. Most of the costumes were lacking, the dialogue was cringe-worthy and you should most definitely avoid this one. With too much happening at an incredible speed I can only give it 1 star *
<3 Mila Kunis' wedding dress <3
<3 Sean Bean doesn't die at the end <3

Big Hero 6: I hate to tear this one apart because there was a lot of potential...but, and perhaps this is my age showing, the bad guys weren't evil enough and the nerdy kids weren't nerdy enough. My inner me loves the graphics, characters of animated movies, while the adult me appreciates the jokes and plot. I expected a lot from Big Hero and it didn't deliver. Somewhere, there is a black hole in the film and it sucked out all the joy. 2.5 Stars ***

<3 Baymax <3
(FYI: this film has a 8.0/10 rating on IMDB. So, check it out for yourself.)

Feast: Feast is a short animated film that is shown before Big Hero 6 begins. I enjoyed it more than the full feature I was about to watch. 5 Stars *****
<3 that little dog <3
(FYI: this short has a 8.4/10 rating on IMDB. It is better than the film says everyone.)

The Cobbler: A new Adam Sandler movie that went straight to Netflix, and should stay there. Having been recommended this film I was excited, reserving a little hope that Sandler was back to the good ol' days of Little Nicky and Billy Madison, alas it was not to be. More on level with his recents works like Bedtime Stories, this film was fairly light, considering some of the more morbid tones. There were a few witty moments and a fairly flimsy storyline, but it lacked the magic of early Sandler works. 2.5 Stars ***

Aeon Flux: Despite being an old one I have only just recently seen this. I didn't enjoy it. Perhaps it was of it's time, though I doubt it. A handful of other ideas pressed together and moulded into an awkward shape. Everything could be explained away with 'it's set 400 years in the future', but this is a cop out to explain all the stupid ideas in the film. It is essentially the sci-fi version of The Truman Show, except it's nowhere near as good. 2 Stars **
<3 Charlize Theron <3

Hateful 8: There is blood, a twisty story, more blood, excessive use of the word 'nigga' and then everybody dies, typical Tarantino. Not his best work, not awful just super long, chapters were an interesting way to go. Samuel L Jackson was the greatest thing about this film. 3 Stars ***
<3 SLJ <3
<3 Senor Bob <3

The Ridiculous 6: Not the best Adam Sandler film around, but funny in it's overly silly nature, light and ultimately ridiculous. Perhaps could've been shorter, but it doesn't really matter. 2.5 Stars ***
<3 Taylor Lautner <3


Before I Go To Sleep: Another twisted tale of discovery starring Nicole Kidman. Intense, clever and really quite surprising in the end. Enjoyable and intriguing. 3.5 Stars ****

<3 Mark Strong <3

Snowpiercer: Really good idea, great characters and imagery. A little odd and perhaps missed the mark slightly, though I cannot put my finger on why exactly...  4 Stars ****
<3 Jamie Bell <3
<3 Kang-ho Song <3

Kill Your Friends: Weird, old school and less violent than anticipated. But you get to watch James Corden die, so 3.5 Stars ****
<3 James Corden's characters death <3

Black Death: Could have been the prequel to Game of Thrones...but Sean Bean dies, obviously. Perhaps a little too religious-y for my tastes, but a clever film ticking all the boxes for a film about plague and it's effects on humanity. Great cast, leading to great acting. 4 Stars ****
<3 Eddie Redmayne- post village visit<3

The Woods (a.k.a. The Hallow): Don't waste your time on this...it sucked. 0 Stars

Kingsman: The Secret Service

What do you get if you merge positively exquisite suits, a pinch of wit, a handful of rough and ready and finally a large dose of super cool spy gadgets?
You get Kingsman.
Lucky enough to view an early, unfinished version I have already seen this new release set to grace the big screen in just two short weeks! Film promotion was the main driving force behind allowing a small audience early viewing and now it's my turn. The all star cast, twisted storyline and added humour all make up the immense cinematic that doesn't disappoint.
Whether you go in expecting a spy movie, a tale of rags to riches, a 'save the world' film or with an open mind you will love Kingsman. Based on the comic 'The Secret Service', the script has been adapted and directed by the same masterminds that gave us Kick-Ass. There is definitely something beautiful in the way both films transgress from page to picture. A sense of fun and danger but also true threat and loss which capture your heart.
Honestly, there isn't a bad word I can say about this film. The cast is absolutely spot on, the locations are incredible and I left the cinema wishing I could be a Kingsman operative (though I highly doubt I would pass the tests)!
You'll laugh, you may cry but you MUST go and see this film! If I could give it more than five I probably would.
5 Stars *****
