Magic Mike


Rating: Depends what ur lookin' for

Anyone who tells you that this movie has any plot whatsoever is lying to you as well as themselves. But literally who cares.
The only negative thing that came of this movie is that every time I hear 'Like a virgin' I imagine Alex Pettyfer stripping and I'm not even sure that's a bad thing.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Rating: ***

Not as good as the first one unfortunately. It was a lot to live up to though and there was a dragon (Benedict Cumberbatch's voice) so it was still worth watching. There just wasn't as much spectacular scenery and too much of the plot was different from the book and THERE WERENT ANY SONGS. The elves also managed to take unrealistic to a whole new level.
The end of the movie was an unbelievably good cliffhanger with Ed Sheeran's 'I see fire' which was enough to save this movie.

Monsters University

 Rating: ****

Completely underrated. Of course it isn't as good as the first but most sequels aren't. I actually found it a lot funnier than I thought I would and it was nice to see a back story for Randall who was actually pretty adorable to start. Thinking about it it kind of reminds me of a much better version of 'House Bunny' without the sexism or the cheese.

Looper

Rating: **

I WILL PAY SOMEONE TO TELL ME WHAT THE HELL WENT ON IN THIS MOVIE. EVEN JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT'S SCREEN TIME DIDN'T MAKE UP FOR THE CONFUSION THAT IS LOOPER.
Seriously though how many flaws can you find in this movie. Basically time travel crime is illogical goodbye.

About time

Rating: ****

This is the ultimate feel good movie. It was just so.. NICE and beautiful and happy. But it does have its fair share of tragedy and romance. It doesn't try to over-complicate time travel *ehem* Looper so its nice and easy to follow but not boring although it does include some rather cliche time travel story lines.
The fact that the main man is not dashingly handsome is nothing less than refreshing and the insecure Rachel McAdams is completely relatable.
IT ISNT OVERLY ROMANTIC EITHER WHICH IS A NEW THING FOR RACHEL *claps*

The Avengers


Rating: ****

This film was definitely better than I expected it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is probably most famous for its Loki vs Hulk scene and rightfully so as there is nothing much better than seeing a smart arse being repeatedly smashed into the floor. I just remember being SO happy that someone had decided to combine all these heroes but something about Thor and Tony Stark (a scientist) being in the same room is quite uncomfortable. Also c'mon Marvel try to make the Hulk's individual story a little less predictable. BUT I LOVED IT HOW CAN YOU NOT ITS ALL YOUR FAVOURITE SUPERHEROES IN ONE  ACTION FILLED MOVIE.

The Lovely Bones


Rating: ****

Overwhelmingly creepy with a bucketload of suspense. Bring a spare pair of pants and some tissues. It stayed as true to the book as I would have liked and made a fictional murder come to life in a way that you will never get over. Also full credit to Stanley Tucci (as Mr Harvey) for managing to make me feel absolutely terrified of any stranger that now approaches me. All in all an adorable thriller which will make you question whether the dead are really dead.
