Pride

SF: I never thought there would be a film about a Gay and Lesbian support group for Miners on strike and therefore was more baffled than anything else when this can along. I'm happy to say this was a delight to watch. Both entertaining and factually interesting. I left the cinema with that cliched phrase "Who knew" but genuinely happy that I'd seen the film and did have a look at the Wikipedia page on the way home. The acting is so good it appears effortless, the characters endearing and the entire story heartwarming. Well work a watch. 8/10

DonkeyB: Its practically perfect. I cried at least three times and laughed many many more. As my Facebook friends know, my kitchen scales made a cameo appearance, I can confirm they are older than me and therefore definitely period, props to the props dept. Paddy Considine needs some award recognition, and Bill Nighy gives a speech about the seam of coal running from Spain to Pennsylvania via south Wales which is word for word perfect to one it felt like i heard hundreds of times when I lived in Wales. 10/10

Overall: 9/10

John Carter

SF: This did what it said on the tin. A standard fun, action adventure. Alright for a Sunday afternoon in front of the TV with your slippers on but for the cinema? Well it was pretty long so my patience was running a bit thin. The 3D was unnoticeable (but I've already ranted about that on my main blog). I wasn't expecting a plot, this isn't Shakespeare but this was alright. On the whole rather average so 5/10.

50 Eggs: It's not often I get to say 'Attack of the Clones did it better', but that certainly applies to this film. The trailers looked amazing but it turns out that the action is as humdrum as the story. 100 years in the making apparently. I could've waited longer. 5.5/10
