Today is the United Nations International Day of Happiness. So go on, smile. If the UN says we’ve to be happy, then we’re damn well going to be happy. Here are 10 films that are guaranteed to bring a smile to my face and make me feel happy…
Top Ten: 2001 Films
13 September 2013 by 2 Comments
A couple of weeks ago on a Facebook film discussion page someone posted a challenge for me to name my Top Ten films of 2001. I could have just left a comment on the page with the list but thought why not go the whole hog and actually write a post. 2001 wasn’t a classic year in film and saw the release of Freddy Got Fingered, Pearl Harbor and Planet of the Apes…
Top Ten: Most watched films
10 May 2013 by Leave a Comment
Last week Total Film had a feature where their writers named the films they watched most often. I thought it was a great idea so I’m blatantly stealing it for this week’s Top Ten. These aren’t necessarily my favourite films, or the best films ever made, but they are the ones that I have always turned to when looking for something comforting and familiar to watch…
Top Ten: The Dark Knight Trilogy Performances

I recently reviewed The Dark Knight Trilogy but didn’t make much mention of the acting performances. Not because they weren’t worth mentioning but because they were so good that I could have gone on and on for the entire post about them…

I’m a simple girl, I’m very easy to buy presents for. If you don’t want to buy me a Blu-Ray, buy me a book. If you don’t want to buy me either of those, buy me chocolate. As such, I think that Blu-Rays (or DVDs) are the perfect present for other people. This week I’m going to suggest some box-sets that will make great Christmas presents..
Top Ten: Sports Movies

I’m what would probably best be described as a fair-weather sports fan. I love the big occasions and I’m excited beyond belief about the start of the Olympics today. I have tickets to four events and it will be a definite “bucket list” moment for me on Monday when I go to my first one…
Top Ten: High School Movies

I spent last weekend at an activity centre with a group of 16 brownies. We had a great time on the zip wire, trapeze, giant swing and so on. The kids were absolutely fearless and enjoyed every minute chattering away about what their favourite activities had been…
Thor

In just one month (26th April) The Avengers Assemble will be released. I have massively high hopes for this film – the trailers look great, I loved Captain America and Joss Whedon is directing. Only an Aaron Sorkin script could excite me more…
A Knight’s Tale

I remember how I felt when Heath Ledger’s death was announced in January 2008. I was numbed, shocked, saddened. I knew straight away that cinema had lost one of its greatest young talents….
