A really powerful drama! Not something I would pick up on my own accord but something I had to read for my English A-Level and after reading Pride & Prejudice I really was not looking forward to this. I was pleasantly surprised, however, at how much I really did enjoy this.

Both main characters are interesting in their own way, with Blanche being the over the top Sourthern-belle falling into an uncontrollable madness spurred on my her ageing and sisters working class, brash husband, Stanley. Stanley is an uncontrollable animal of a man, he knows what he wants and how to get it.

I love both the film and the drama of this tale and I'm glad I got the chance to study it.

Jacob's Ladder- is a really great psychological supernatural horror thriller. Tim Robbins is excellent in this film.

The Plot: After returning home from the Vietnam War, veteran Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) struggles to maintain his sanity. Plagued by hallucinations and flashbacks, Singer rapidly falls apart as the world and people around him morph and twist into disturbing images. His girlfriend, Jezzie (Elizabeth Peña), and ex-wife, Sarah (Patricia Kalember), try to help, but to little avail. Even Singer's chiropractor friend, Louis (Danny Aiello), fails to reach him as he descends into madness.

Its also super underrated, not alot of people talk about this film or know about this film. Its a must watch psychological twisted supernatural horror film.

Taron Egerton delivers a stellar performance as Redge Dwight evolves into his colourful, camp, outrageous alterego Elton John.

A beautifully made film charting the ups and downs of singer, from childhood to megastar. The script delivers raw honesty and for someone that wasn't completely au fait with Elton's turbulent life, I felt honoured to share in his madness.

A collective mix of musical numbers with backing tracks allow the viewer to bath in the huge catologue of hits.

Stick it on and enjoy solid acting, writing and directing. Taron is brave, vulnerable and as the Rocket an, shows he is set for the stars.
