Hi girls! Today I wanted to do a little round up of films that I have seen so far this year.
Now for the last couple of years Robert and I used to go to the cinema all the time, like every two weeks. Sometimes we would just go to the cinema and pick a film we liked the look of and other times we would want to go to see a specific film. I think the fact that we would go so often, showed that there was a good choice of films out. This year, Robert and I have been to the cinema 3 times, three(!!) and we are now in the 6th month of the year! I feel as though the first part of 2013 has been such a let down for good films!
The three films we have seen so far have been a bit of a mixture, but I am really excited for some films that are coming out soon too!
So first up is the first film we went to see this year, back in April was Olympus Has Fallen. This film stars Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman, amongst others. Its a fast paced, high adrenaline action thriller about the President being kidnapped within the White House and only Gerard can save him.
Moving onto the second film, The Place Beyond The Pines. With Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper as the leading men in the film, you won't be disappointed! However this film felt a lot different from the usual. It made you think about life and what you value the most. In reality the film is about a stunt bike rider who then uses his talent to rob banks, but the film is so much more than that. It shows how things can affect families and how people deal with emotions. It was such a great film and I don't think it got the credit! I left the cinema in a daze, trying to take in all that I just saw on the screen. Definitely try and have a watch of this film!!

Last film we saw at the cinema was a big one... The Hangover 3. Two words: freaking hilarious!! It doesn't matter who you are or what you stand for, this film is just funny. I don't know how anyone could watch this film and not laugh all the way through it! It was a little different than the past two films, as the series of events in this film was not a night out and then a scary awakening in the morning (although the film did end this way, hilarious!!!). Basically this film revolves around Alan and trying to get him to rehab. They end up back in Vegas too. Overall its a great film and I want there to be a fourth!! I don't want this to be the end!!
I also want to give a special mention to a film Robert and I watched just recently, but was in the cinema in January. Django Unchained is a Quentin Tarantino film, so already you know its going to be a quirky film. It was not what I was expecting, but it was excellent! A film set in the 1850's American Midwest about an freed slave who teams up with a Bounty hunter and sets out to rescue his wife. Starring Jamie Foxx, Samuel L Jackson, Leonardo Di Caprio, Christopher Waltz and even Quentin himself! Great film, quite bloody, but with some big laughs thrown in for good measure too! Such great acting, definitely worth seeing!!!
There are a few films coming out soon that I am dying to see... The Bling Ring, Monsters University, World War Z and of course The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (whenever that comes out!). What films have you seen this year at the cinema? Any favourites? I would love to know if you have any recommendations!
