Moonrise Kingdom (2012) - Wes Anderson

I don't think my family quite "got" this film. But I love it just the same on second and third watch. What a brilliant film. I look forward to Anderson's next venture: The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014).

The Internship (2013) - Shawn Levy

Not a bad film, a couple of decent laughs, and good on screen chemistry between Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. A nice film to watch when you're down.

PS It just made me want to work at Google. It's seems mad!

Moulin Rouge! (2001) - Baz Luhrmann

What a LOVEly film. All about love. Me and my single friend watched a film about love, and yet, neither of us got depressed, because it is such a good film. I don't know if this counts as a real musical, due to the songs being prewritten for different singers and that, but they all fit, and most were catchy tunes that everyone knows the words to. Would. Watch. Again.

Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch (2005) - Michael LaBash and Anthony Leondis

As a big fan of the franchise, I found this movie both powerful and entertaining. Not sure about the re-casting of Lilo with Dakota Fanning though. I didn't notice it at first, but you can tell, particularly towards the end, that there's a lack of chemistry between the two leads.

Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) - Steve Pink

A lovely bit of silliness for a Tuesday evening. I am disappointed John Cusack hasn't signed on to be in the sequel, but maybe it won't be as good as the first one anyway. I like the part played by Crispin Glover, who is a veteran of time travel movies (George McFly in Back to the Future (1985) - Robert Zemeckis) as it gives the humour, even when it probably shouldn't.

World War Z (2013) - Marc Forster

I paid £11.45 to watch this film at the Odeon cinema, Liverpool. At that price, I shall never be going there again. Back to Cineworld. Anyway, the film itself was completely different to the book, so it's impossible to compare the two. The film's action sequences were very good. The twelve seconds thing was pointless though, and you'll need to see the film to understand that, so go and watch it before it finishes in cinemas, but not at the Odeon because it's fucking expensive.

Despicable Me 2 (2013) - Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud

I must be the one person in the world who thinks that the Minions are about as funny as a brain tumour.  Gru's bits, voiced by Steve Carell made me laugh, and re-introducing Kristen Wiig as a different character from the first movie, was a good move, as her voice perfectly suited the character. Overall, slightly better, and not saying much considering the hype, than the original.
