Animal Inspired Film Night

Hello lovely people

So last night myself and Ollie decided to have an 'Animal Special' film night, after having been at a country park all day cuddling baby rabbits and screaming at creepy owls.

The films watched were:

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron & Dreamer

both of which were horse films who's main audience were 6 years old girls in their phase of wanting pony's and having every my little pony that is on earth. So both films were just perfect for us! 

I have to say Spirit was by far the best film of the night and one of the cutest and saddest cartoon films ever. So if you're wanting a film to watch with the kids, or if you're a big kid yourself this would be perfect!

Also a quick update on the 27 films front: we haven't forgotten! 27 films just takes a long time but we are both rattling through as quickly as possible, and Ollie has actually started the challenge now and is catching up with me. Keep an eye out for the results of the 27 film challenge and click here to if you dont know what on earth im talking about!

A review of last nights films

Hiii,
So last night we both ventured to the cinema for the first time in almost 2 months for our film night. We had planned to go last weekend however we wanted to see the film in 2D, not 3D, which we both dislike. The film in question was Baz Luhrmann's 'The Great Gatsby', starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire. We both enjoyed it greatly, even though we were sat near a woman who slammed her foot on the floor every time the slightest bit of music was played and continuously coughed pathetically during the whole film. Overall we both gave it about 8/10 - I preferred it to Luhrmann's 'Moulin Rouge' (film 33 in the Rollie film series) whilst Rosie enjoyed it slightly less. We both had a fun night singing along and the ending was very sad indeed. It didn't quite live up to the hype however I'd completely recommend it and I'd consider buying it on DVD.

Things began to deteriorate when we got home and put on 1972 cult film 'Silent Running'. While it had a good plot it was played out pretty badly and the film overall was pretty boring and it had aged terribly. The ending was quite sad, and the 'Drones' were rather cute but overall the film was boring and the middle part of the film was completely irrelevant and unneeded. Rosie struggled to stay awake and overall I gave it 4/10, it was saved by the cute robots and animals and the ending. But I do not understand how its garnered such a following. Oh well!

It's half term so a lot of films will be probably be watched in the last week. Films we've watched recently that I'd recommend have been 'One Hour Photo', 'The Time Travellers Wife', 'Despicable Me' and 'Looper'.
