a beautifully composed and shot film by terrence malick - starring brad pitt, sean penn and jessica chastain. however, my favourite actor was young jack, played by hunter mccracken.. he was brilliantly raw. i've never seen imagery so fascinating in a film before, there were randomly interspersed scenes of historical, evolutional and intergalactic happenings ... that were shown right along side a small family with three young sons set in texas. things so huge and things so small, all at the same time. the comparisons and juxtaposition of the two was so intense.
twilight, breaking dawn part two (2012)
okay, i am a twilighter at heart. the last movie seemed the most cheesy of the four. it also felt a bit rushed, but regardless of that it was an amazing finale. i like the twist they took on the film, leaving the happenings in the book slightly different (but i wont spoil it for anyone!) they made it truly cinematic and i was literally cowering and distraught in my seat. the ending was rounded off fantastically, so emotional! sighhhhhh - sad as it may be, i'm still on the hunt for my edward.. or jacob! i'll always be 'team jake/ward'.
the watch (2012)
warning!!! .. don't do what i did, and take you're grandma to see this film with you, it's not at all appropriate. i don't think i've ever sunk so far down in my cinema chair. some scenes are very rude and they definitely took me by suprise! however, it's a good film for a pick me up or a good old belly laugh. great cast too, i love richard ayoade.
lost highway (1997)
i have decided i don't particularly like the majority of david lynch films, they're not for the faint hearted and are frankly, a bit too disturbing for me. this was no exception. they're seems to be no reason for random and drastic switches of narrative, whenever i watch them... nothing really makes sense. i honestly don't think lynch himself knows exactly what he wants to portray in the majority of his thriller style movies. he's just out to upset, scare and unnerve people - he's bold, i'll give him that.
katy perry 'part of me' (2012)
i didn't think this documentary style film would be as emotional as it was, it shows a different side to popstars and the lengths they push themselves too, to please and give back to their fans.
