“Falling in love is a crazy thing to do. It’s like a socially acceptable form of insanity”

Review by Eddie on 20/01/2014

It’s highly unlikely you have seen or will ever see again a romantic dramedy in the vain of Her, for Spike Jonze’s film is a highly original, meditative and strangely beautiful tale of love and life and a movie that on paper should never have worked but thankfully due to a witty and believable script and two award worthy performances (one that isn’t even on screen) is a movie that is in a league of it’s…

Wolf Of Wall St. Review *No Spoilers*

Hey guys, I recently watched Wolf of Wall St. Coming from Scorsese, I went in expecting greatness. This film did not disappoint. The movie was casted to perfection. Leo was amazing as greedy stock broker, Jordan Belfort, and Jonah Hill had me laughing out of control for the majority of the film. This film was phenomenal, however, I would not suggest watching this with your family. The drug use is so excessive, I could not help but wonder when one of the characters would overdose. Also, there are many graphic sex scenes and the film holds the record for most F words in a non documentary film. In my eyes, this is an instant classic. Easily my favorite movie of 2013, and perhaps one of my favorite comedies of all time. The film is srikingly similar to Goodfellas, so if you love that movie or just love movies, you are going to love this film. I gave this film a 9.5/10.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Review *No Spoilers*

Let me first tell you that I am a massive Lord of The Rings fan. After watching The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey, I was mildly disappointed but I still decided to attend the midnight release of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and I was not disappointed. I thought it was a major improvement from the first Hobbit film. It was very fast paced and an overall, good film. The acting was great from almost everyone, it was very comical, much funnier than any of the Lord of The Rings films. For me, Legolas made the movie. Orlando Bloom was brilliant and the character was right back slicing and dicing orcs like a turkey on thanksgiving. However, like the first Hobbit film, the CGI is over used and it probably takes a lot from the film. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed the film. If you go into the film expecting Lord of The Rings, you may be disappointed but if you’re expecting the first Hobbit movie, you just may be pleasantly surprised. I gave this film an 8/10.
