Diary of a teenage girl
This was an enjoyable film to watch, a sort of similar tale to other teenage coming of age films but with a very realistic view of certain aspects, the cast just make this feel like it's all natural - random animated drawings aside. The dialogue had some nice pieces of humour throughout and the characters just felt fully developed without much explanation needed.
Absolutely Anything
This film has the ingredients for an absolute classic comedy, written and directed by a member of Monty Python, stars Simon Pegg and a whole bunch of other awesome people and has characters voiced by Monty Python and Robin Williams. What is not to love? Oh yeah, the script. Apparently it has been in development hell for about 10 years and it's easy to see why, it's absolutely rubbish. I laughed maybe once or twice, it was just a very weak script with everyone very awkwardly trying their best to get through it. Avoid.
Trainwreck
I haven't watched anything of Amy Schumer's stand up or TV show so I was able to go in without any expectations. I was very pleasantly surprised to find a very amusing comedy with some quite sad moments, a nice balance creating a nice, enjoyable film. I thought the cast were great and the cameos were very amusing. I really recommend watching this one. Oh and in my screening it got a bit of a clap/whoop when she stuck up for gay people
The gift
I was quite looking forward to this psychological thriller, it had been getting some decent reviews and I thought the trailer showed a decent premise. I was disappointed then when the film was slow, obvious and just a bit random in terms of direction. I don't mind a thriller that is slow if it builds tension and ramps up to a decent finale but I found the story so obvious (imo the ended is literally thrusted in our faces about half way through) that I was hoping there would be a nice twist or two providing a decent ending and instead it was just meh. A shame.
