However, the night before the wedding, everything goes wrong, when making a joke about Becky’s dress they end up ripping it. They spend the night desperately figuring out how to fix the dress but will they be able to fix it before the wedding or before Becky finds out? 

Comment: Overall, this movie was quite disappointing. It lacked innovation and a solid story line. The actors were mismatched and didn’t gel together. The comedy aspect of the movie was weak and unfortunately it was one of those movie which the trailer is funnier than the actual movie itself.

Plot Line:

Cal Weaver is a middle- aged man who has lost inspiration in himself and also his relationship. After his wife cheats on him and asks for a divorce, Cal spirals into a world of self- doubt and pity until he meets Jacob Palmer a smooth talking ladies man who helps him reinvent himself.

Comments/ Overall opinion of the movie:

Overall, I really enjoyed the movie, it was engaging, humorous and kept me wondering what was going to happen next. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling were the perfect actors for the role as they embodied the unusual  quirky relationships between their characters. Steve Carrell  was the perfect character that was taken under Goslings wing. However, the one aspect of the movie I didn’t like was the babysitter story, which in my opinion was a bit over the top.

Overall I would give this movie an overall star rating of

4/5

Plot: Four college girls have known each other since school but now they search for adventure. They land in jail during spring break but get bailed out from a drug/arms dealer called Alien. He promises that he will provide adventure and excitement for them. How far will they make it.

Comment:  Harmony Korine is known for his unique style of directing. This is a massive step for the main actresses, seeing them in this from their stereotypical roles but they did actually suit the parts. I lost interest in the movie and wanted to fast forward some parts. This isn't for the average movie goer so I wouldn't recommend for a cinema day or a movie night. If your interested go ahead but it's not my type of film. I'm sure there are loads of 'deep' factors that film will focuses on but I just didn't like it that much.

Genre: Family/ Kids

Run Time: 110 minutes

He decides to release five golden tickets in his bars, causing complete mayhem. All tickets are found except one until a young boy called Charlie is the final winner. Everything is perfect until they enter into the factory.

Comment: Tim Burton makes another great film. The set design makes lovely images on screen. And anything with Johnny Depp in it makes the movie even better.

Prince Charming returns from a failed attempt at rescuing Fiona and works alongside his mother to get rid of Shrek and get Fiona for himself.  With his faithful steed donkey, Shrek takes on the fairy godmother.

Comment: This film is as good as the first Shrek. This film is really funny and the characters are excellent. There is a new character, Puss which is played by Antonio Banderas. This just adds another great character. I would recommend this film to anyone of any age.

With his camera and map in hand he videos his trip and his video diary ends up screening at The Cannes Film festival. Mr. Bean creates havoc wherever he goes.

Comments: This is a great film for the family but it's great if you want a laugh. If you ever watched Mr.Bean on t.v, you know he doesn't speak. In this film, Atkinson just makes everything funny in what he does.

Plot: Teen surfer Bethany Hamilton is a champion surfer and practically lives in the sea. Until one day she loses her arm in a shark attack. Now she must re-learn how to do everything with one arm and face her fears of returning to the sea.

Comments: This film is based on a true story of Bethany Hamilton. Soul Surfer is an inspirational film about overcoming obstacles. For this film being based on a true story it has action and the story is well paced and you feel connected to the family. A bonus at the end, toy can see the real Bethany Hamilton and some home videos that were incorporated into the film.

All his he has been teased and called names but his mum and only friend Jenny (Robin Wright) are by his side. Forrest joins the army, finding new friends Bubba and Dan and starts beginning to inspire people. All he cares about is his childhood sweetheart Jenny.

Comments: This movie has it all drama, humor, sadness and  action all in one. Tom Hanks is great in this film and he shows the innocence in Forrest Gump. The famous line 'Run, Forrest! Run!' is a great scene because his braces fall off his legs and himself running is a big theme in the movie.

Director: Christopher Nolan

Actors: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy




Plot: Cobb (DiCaprio) is a thief, who is paid to steal valuable secrets from people's dreams when they are in a subconscious dream state when they are most vulnerable. Cobb has lost everything hes ever had and know he is given a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but it is much trickier than other jobs. If it works it could be the perfect crime but nothing prepares them for what will happen.

Comments: This is an incredible movie, Nolan has done a great job putting the whole movie together with special effects, stage design and the actors. There are several twists and unpredictable turns which make you think and jump. There is a lot of information to take in so I watched it a second time which made everything better. But I would highly recommend watching it.  Watch the trailer to get the grips of what the plot is about.
