THEfilmBLOG: April 2013
http://the-book-thief.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 3 April 2013. Quite fitting for the whole profession I think. This blog has opened me up to a new world and the closest thing I'll probably ever have to a vocational calling. If I didn't start doing it out of boredom in 2009 I perhaps would not have ever contemplated trying to make writing my career, meeting some incredible people along the way and writing books for children. Thank you for your time and continued support with my fictional works,. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Follow me on Twitter.

Wednesday, 30 November 2011. The Deep Blue Sea. Good, let's move on. The film tells the tale of Hester (Rachel Weisz) as she tries to re-evaluate her life after a failed suicide attempt. At the centre of it all is her undying almost destructive love for her current husband, Freddy (Tom Hiddleston) and the nostalgic, comforting, stable love from the man she left him for William (Simon Russell Beale). Visually though Davies has made a film which just oozes class. It sometimes does feel a little too muc...

Friday, 26 October 2012. Marking 50 years since Sean Connery first graced the big screen with the utterly brilliant Dr No, paving the way for 22 other films in its path, sees Daniel Craig don the tux for the ambiguously titled (aren't they all? Well if you ask me, let the sky fall the day it doesn't. Daniel Craig's third (possibly last? Skyfall is in cinemas everywhere now. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Saturday, 28 January 2012. Roman Polanski's adaptation of the hit French play God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza is one of the most unassuming treats of the award season for me. Starring Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, John C Reilly and (blog favourite) Christoph Waltz the film is almost an exercise in what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, when two pairs of parents come together to sort out a little spat between the couples' children. You'll realise by the film's closing moments you.

THEfilmBLOG: August 2012

Thursday, 16 August 2012. I remember a couple of years ago reviewing the first Expendables film and, amazingly, thinking that not only was it a piss poor film but that it failed to deliver on what it originally promised. To hell with the likes of Statham, Li, Crews, Couture and Hemsworth, I want to see all the action stars of my youth blowing everything to kingdom come! Less Statham - even better! And even added the aforementioned Van Damne and, quite possibly the star of the whole film, one Mr Chuck Nor...

THEfilmBLOG: September 2012
http://the-book-thief.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Friday, 28 September 2012. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis team up for one of the best films of 2012. Its violence is satisfying, its action is most definitely packed, littered with a tonne of quality supporting actors and a truly absorbing story driven by character and not always spectacle. Don't miss. Looper is in cinemas everywhere now. Thursday, 13 September 2012. The Dark Knight Returns Part 1. Saturday, 8 September 2012. Painfully average and largely predictable. The cast didn't let down ...

THEfilmBLOG: Rust and Bone
http://the-book-thief.blogspot.com/2012/11/rust-and-bone.html
Thursday, 1 November 2012. It's been over two years since Jacques Audiard blew me away and near reduced me to tears with his stunning crime epic, A Prophet. Taking a slight detour away from the French underground, Audiard delivers an unlikely love story which results in one of the most powerful and emotional trips to the cinema you'll have this year. Rust and Bone is in selected cinemas everywhere now. Belfast audiences can see it in Queen's Film Theatre from Friday November 9th, 2012.

Friday, 20 July 2012. The Dark Knight Rises. You don't owe these people anymore. You've given them everything." "Not everything, not yet.". Was it perfect though? The Dark Knight Rises is in cinemas everywhere now. And yes I know you've probably already seen it when this review goes live. Sunday, 15 July 2012. Dr Seuss' The Lorax. Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.". The Lorax is in cinemas across the UK on Friday July 27th, 2012. Similar to watchin...
