I went to see Baby Driver this evening at an Unlimited Screening, the cinema was a great choice as the temperature was beyond ridiculous outside and at home. Evidently this is a prequel to Drive, or so I've been told. But I don't really know how that works when the idea supposedly came from a music video Wright did that was in 2003 and Drive was out in 2011... but anyway. As is always the way, the first big advert for the film was good, and honestly, I didn't feel like I was watching the same film when it started. Never the less, I enjoyed it. There are some quirks that I recognise from other Edgar Wright films, and I enjoyed the way the music was incorporated into the action... although him prancing down the street to get coffee... not so much.

Aspiring actor Greg Sestero meets a mysterious man named Tommy Wiseau in his acting classes with Jean Shelton. Hoping to achieve Hollywood stardom, Sestero moves to Los Angeles and signs on to appear in his buddy's project. Financed with his own money, Wiseau writes, directs and stars in "The Room," a critically maligned movie that becomes a cult classic.
There isn't a lot to say about this one. I mainly only went to see it because some people were raving about it. This for me is skirting the fine line of "based on a true story" and reality TV. I cannot watch reality TV, I find it physically distressing watching anything that awkward. That being said, I don't feel like I was missing out on much in this film, and no one else in the cinema seemed to be enjoying it either.

Yes I'm giving it four stars and I don't care what you all say!! I laughed on more than one occasion and found it an amusing lift to my day... so ptttttttttttttt to all you misery guts who are saying it's terrible.
The only bad bit about the film was having to share the cinema with children on half term... although I was highly entertained when the 12 year old girl in front of me who had been snapchatting for 50% of the films dropped her phone on the floor.
It's daft humour and it really lifted my spirits, and those are the best movies to have. Even if the CGI panda and tiger were a little terrible.
To sum it up, this movie is basically Rush Hour with dogs. That alone should make you want to see it.

As this one wasn't on at my local I'd seen very little about it before hand, so I had no clue what to expect. What I saw was a terribly believable portrayal of a small community.
Obviously I'm a book lover, so the first time I saw the bookshop getting a delivery I was filled with a lovely warm feeling... which was stolen from me piece by piece as we worked through the film.
It was a nice little film to watch, even if it did induce crying... alright, some proper severe blubbing. I'm glad I got the opportunity to see it, but I feel like it's rather niche. I'm not entirely surprised it wasn't on at my local cinema, but I'm not going to say it too loud because I'd still rather they showed everything there!

Very entertaining
This award winning podcast has gradually become one of my favourite podcasts. It's a simple enough idea - married couple Dave and Cathy go and see a movie, and then discuss it while walking home from the cinema. Sometimes, depending on the movie genre, one of them will be replaced by a friend or relative, but the majority of the shows are just them.
A lot of the enjoyment comes from their bickering, listening to a married couple lightheartedly fight when they disagree on certain elements in the movie. It's the kind of thing anyone who goes to the movies with family or friends will be used to and it's that familiarity and down to earth conversation, along with the fact that they both have very easy on the ears Irish accents, that makes this so entertaining.

Brilliant SFX
Live action GTA
A real blast of a film with so much going on. I saw a trailer a long way back and thought it could be fun, but didn't expect such a blockbuster film.
It's a real mix of Ready Player One meets the The Truman Show. A non playable Character in a game suddenly becomes alive and decides to make his own decisions after encountering a player in the game.
The film is funny and will be especially fun for those who do play video games. Feeling like a real life version of a GTA game. The SFX to recreate so much crazy video game action in real life is great.
Definitely an enjoyable film worth seeing at the cinema and one I can imagine watching multiple times in future.
