Titanic


Rating: *****

After hearing teenage girls hanker on for months about the supposed God that was Leonardo De Caprio I just had to witness it for myself.
This was the first time that I had ever seen titanic (stop judging) and I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. The plot is not only about the overly talked about Jack and Rose, instead the director uses their chemistry to draw us in as viewers and to distract us from the well-known impending doom, to spare our feelings for a good 2 hours before soul crushingly sinking a titanic ship along with killing all the passengers on board. Well played James Cameron. Well played. 
I can think of no better way to demonstrate the absolute monstrosity that was the Titanic ship with its arrogance and ignorance on display in this movie that sounds too long but doesn't feel too long.
However, although I can confirm that younger Leo is not difficult to look at Kate Winslet is in my opinion is about 10x more good looking. However, you are almost guaranteed to come running after/during your 'Titanic' viewing (as I did) screaming that Rose is not only stupid but also a selfish whore. 
'Titanic' for once deserves the credit it has been given so do watch it and try to have fun as you cry tears of frustration and attempt to yank hair from your scalp in shear disbelief at the stupidity of humankind. There's also some romance or whatever.

Thor: The Dark World

Rating: ***

Unfortunately there wasn't as much of a comedic relationship between Thor and the mortal world in this one with most events happening in Asgard or somewhere..
It was another one of those 'save the world movies' that I had subconsciously cast as boringly predictable half way through. But at that point I didn't realize how wrong I was with the biggest plot twist (possibly ever) leaving me pretty stunned and now I don't really know what happened in the movie tbh.
Also can we please stop with the 'can I trust Loki' story lines they leave everyone distraught when he inevitably betrays everyone he can.

Frozen

Rating: ***

Where do I start. Apparently the whole teen population has unanimously decided that they love this film so I rounded the rating up from 2.5 to 3 stars because I don't want to be murdered in my sleep. It just wasn't that good. Please watch it though I don't want you to be excluded from your group of friends.
Also can I just rant about how the animators seem to have gone out of their way to create characters who's beauty is completely unattainable, mainly because LOOK AT THE PROPORTIONS OF THEIR FACES.

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.

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.

Mean Girls



Rating: ****

If you haven't watched this movie then in the nicest way possible what are you doing with your life..? You may even understand all those mean girls quotes that you didn't even realise came up in everyday life. If you have seen it, watch it again. It's still as good as it was NINE years ago and if you've only just become a preteen then this is your coming of age movie. It'll probably also be your first look at Lindsay Lohan sane.

21 & over


Rating: ****

idek why I just found this movie hilarious. I watched it a while ago but would definitely recommend it to watch with your friends for a laugh. I remember seeing all the criticism it got for being so similar to The Hangover and for over doing the asian stereotype of strict parents but I didn't even care. watch it if your sad or bored or need something weird to watch.
