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

50Eggs: N/A

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

The World's End

SF: Oh well they tried. Sad to say this film is all expectation and no delivery. The performances are ok, the humour present and the story easy to follow but lacked pace. I only laughed twice. Too much random fighting, a lot of seemed to be to just fill the time and the end didn't fit at all. Sadly just 4/10

50Eggs: n/a

DonkeyB: Urgh. Its a "British Comedy", it is rubbish. An absolute waste of Considine, Marsan and Pike. Does Rosamund Pike have a lazy eye? Because it looks like she does for most of the film. Pegg and Frost need to watch themselves they have both been in a whole heap of crap recently- this way Chevy Chase lies. 3/10

Overall: 3.5/10

Submarine


SF: Off the wall comedy that tickles me. Like Adrian Mole meets Amelie. 7/10

50 Eggs: n/a

DonkeyB: His dad is a guy with a beard off the OU! Captured some of the parts of being a teenager very well. 7/10

Overall - 7/10
