Film: Green Street.
Director: Lexi Alexander.
Oh Frodo, what have you gotten yourself into?
I never wanted to watch this film, I'm not a fan of violence but I loved Fight Club. And I love this.
I love how even though it seems to be alla bout violence and fighting and brain dead morons, it isn't. It's about respect and standing up for your "family" and they are all clever hardworking men. I do enjoy it but the violence does get a little much sometimes.
Favourite scene is...Matt's first fight. When they get to teh end and they're congratulating him and then take the piss about his ridiculous windmill first punch which was hilarious!
Orrrr...when Matt goes back to the states and stands up with himself against has the oppurtunity to beat up Jeremy but doesn't.
Overall, I'd give Green Street: 8/10
I enjoy it, I'll watch it again but I haven't to be in the right mood.

The Dark Knight Rises
Film: The Dark Knight Rises.
Director: Christopher Nolan.
Another film I saw in the cinema and then ended up getting it for Christmas.
I'll be honest, not a big fan of Christian Bale, but I do love the whole Batman franchise and I adore Anne Hathaway. When I saw Hathaway was playing Catwoman, I was skeptical and I'll admit I was wrong. She was an amazing Catwoman I really hope there is a spin off film with her she's great!
Favourite scene was when Selina takes Bruce's food up and ends up stealing his pearls and beats up a "cripple" then poofs out the window!
The whole Bane and Miranda storyline was awesome, I loved the twist, I won't ruin it if you haven't seen it...but if you haven't, why the hell not?!
I can't wait for a Robin film, it'll definitely be good and Catwoman should be in it too ;)
I really do this movie, it's full of action, it's full of fun and crazy Bale grunting and the weird deep Batman voice lol
Overall, I'd give The Dark Knight Rises: 9/10
I will obviously see it again, Bale just..yeah, I don't much like him and it makes me not want to see it quite as much!

Seven Pounds.
Films: Seven Pounds.
Director: Gabrielle Muccino.
I've had this DVD hanging around for a long time and hadn't quite got round to watching it. I love it. I'll be honest, I shed a tear or two!
Will Smith is obviously awesome and I love love love Rosario Dawson. I loved her in Rent and I loved her in this.
The story line is a little confusing until you get to the end and eeeeeeverything suddenly makes sense. My favourite scene is when Emily falls asleep on the phone to Ben and wakes up to find him fast asleep next to her in the hopsital and he's all groggy and dopey and its the beginning of the whole love and it's wonderful.
The whole "eye for an eye" type thing I loved. The seven people he saved have whole new lives and actual proper lives now too. It's awesome!
Overall, I'd give Seven Pounds: 9.5/10
I'll watch it again, but when I'm not hormonal so I don't bawl like a baby ;)

Haywire.
Film: Haywire
Director: Steven Soderbergh.
This is a film I wanted to see when it came out and totally forgot about and then by chance found it cheap in Blockbuster. It's another "not what I expected" film.
I'm not entirely sure whether I liked it or not, it seems to be 99% ninja awesome fighting scenes with some parkour thrown in for good measure and 1% story.
I love all the action but I wish there was less of it and more actual story and background etc.
I loved the action scenes though, my favourite was the one in the beginning with Mallory and Aaron in the coffee shop when Mallory looks like she is losing then totally kicks ass and takes off with some dude and his car.
Overall, I think I'd give Haywire: 6/10.
I'd watch it again but it's kinda brain numbing, you really don't need to pay attention to understand what it going on.

Young Adult.
Film: Young Adult.
Director: Jason Reitman.
I love Charlize Theron, but I hated this film.
From the trailers I thought it was going to be quite funny and a good one to watch. Wrong. I really had to force myself to watch it the whole way through. Overall very disappointed.
The story itself was okay, I like the whole relationship between Mavis and Matt and how you see them fall together despite the problems they had during High School.
It made me feel awkward and uncomfortable and I probably will sell the DVD back to Blockbuster because I won't watch it again.
I'd give it a 4/10.
I won't watch it again. Which is sad, because I really do love Charlize Theron she's an awesome actress but I just didn't feel this at all.

The Amazing Spiderman.
Film: The Amazing Spiderman.
Director: Marc Webb.
Love.
I saw it in the cinema with my boyfriend and I found it utterly awesome and I got in on DVD for Christmas so I watched it again! I love it. Andrew Garfield is so much..more than Tobey; he makes Spiderman more real. I love the relationship between him and Emma Stone's character Gwen; I especially love how it ends with the promise to Gwen's father.
Favourite scene is without a doubt when Garfield is with the car theif and the whole little dance thing he does when he's shooting web at him and then how he gets all up in the police guys face.
I like the fact that he doesn't automatically shoot web out of his wrists but makes a fancy little doohickey to make it possible, it's super awesome!
Overall, I'd give The Amazing Spiderman: 10/10.
I love it. It's awesome. GO WATCH IT!

Silver Linings Playbook.
Films: Silver Linings Playbook
Director: David O. Russell
I'll be honest, not what I expected. I thought it was going to be quite funny...nope. But, I did like it, quite a bit!
I was very different to most films and I would love to read the book it was based on. Jennifer Lawrence played Tiffany wonderfully and made her likeable (sort of) and you could understand her and sympathise with her cause her life had kinda sucked.
Bradley Cooper played Pat and was awesome. I love how the film was about Mental Health; I can't think of another film that has anything about MH in it.
My favourite scene was when they do the big dance off at the end and the scores they get they are delighted with because it lets them win the second half of a bet with a friend of the family and the other dances are getting an average of 8/9 out of ten and they got 5 which was what they needed.
Overall, I think I'd give Silver Linings Playbook: 7/10.
I don't know if I would see it again, I think you need to be in the right mood to watch it. I would recommend seeing it but you do have to pay attention.
