Toy Story 3 and The Disappearance Of Alice Creed

On Sunday night I finally caught up with the rest of the world and watched Toy Story 3 with my sister! She'd seen it lots of times already and as she is only five she kept trying to tell me what was about to happen! For example *SPOILERS* - when you're first introduced to the toys in Sunnyside Estie said "Pops...those toys are all really bad" which was annoying as that is supposed to be a surprise as they all seem nice at first! She also said stuff like "Don't worry Pops, they don't fall in the fire" or "Woody doesn't go to college with Andy!" so I had to try and ignore that but obviously it's a bit annoying!! So from now on I will try not to watch a film with my sister that she has already seen! I did really enjoy the film and thought that they made it seem quite epic especially when they're in the dump! I was also prepared to really cry as most of my friends - male and female - said that it was so very very sad and that they cried, usually I cry at anything but I only welled up a little bit surprisingly but it was sad but a happy ending as well! I have also heard on twitter that there may be a number 4 which would be cool as I like the character that Andy gave the toys to! So I did really enjoy the film and do recommend it as long as you've seen the other 2!


Last night I watched the British film The Disappearance of Alice Creed - here is the imdb page because I don't want to give anything away because it's such an amazing film with a really good story and only 3 characters shown on screen throughout the whole time and they still keep interest and it's amazing! - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1379177/  so all I can say is WATCH IT!

I watched the film Piranha the other day which I was expecting to  be absolute crap but it was entertaining! Some parts were a bit jumpy but the CGI i so awful that it isn't scary - gorey yes but not scary! It was a very far fetched story but they kind of gave a kind of good enough reason for it all! There is also lots of half naked and naked girls but the characters are a bit annoying...if you want to have a bit of a laugh then I'd watch it and Doc from Back To The Future is in it which is cool and I will be watching the 2nd one just to see what it's like!

I should be going to see Harry Potter next Weds but I'm not so bothered to see it quickly as I've obviously read the book so will not be surprised by anything and I will also only read on twitter and facebook whether it's good or not which I like to make my own mind up anyway!

Bridesmaids, Cyrus..

Hmm, it's been a very long time since I last blogged - not good as I don't even have any valid reason for not doing it!! I am in Cornwall at the moment for a little holiday staying with my mum! I was hoping for lots of sunshine to be able to go to the beach but it's been torrential rain most of the time! It's nice being here chilling with my mum and sister even though we haven't done much as my sister is at school!

Last Wednesday I went to the cinema to see Bridesmaids. I am being a bridesmaid this October so it was fun to go with the Bride and the other Bridesmaid! We thought we could get some tips?! Well we all enjoyed it but it wasn't as funny as we all anticipated! In fact some bits were really sad! We also didn't get many tips as you don't actually see much of the wedding stuff! Apart from I would love to receive a puppy as a wedding favour! =D The story itself was interesting as a lot of women will be able to relate to a lot of the characters as each have their own little problems and their own quirks. The funniest parts are the scenes that are shown in the trailer..! I think the funniest part is when Kristen Wiig calls a 14ish year old girl the C word! It was hilarious and everyone in the cinema went "Ooooooh!" before laughing because we all couldn't believe she'd said it! So it was a very good film just not as funny as the trailer makes it out to be as I expected to be laughing the whole way through and I certainly wouldn't compare it to The Hangover like most people have done..! 



Last night I watched the film Cyrus with Jonah Hill and John C. Reilly. Again it wasn't as funny as I expected but I did really enjoy it. The story is a bit similar to Stepbrothers as John C. gets with Jonah Hill's mum and Jonah doesn't like it so he tries to keep them apart. I was hoping for more funny bits and more laughing but that was maybe because I did make the connection with Stepbrothers...so maybe don't do that?! The relationship between Cyrus (Hill) and his mum is quite creepy and strange but funny...they are very very close - so close that when she is in the shower she doesn't mind him going in there..? But it was good and I did Laugh out Loud a couple of times, so watch it but don't have too high expectations!


I am hoping to go and see Harry Potter 7 part 2 at the cinema with my mum and sister but as my sister is 5, we are worried she'll be very scared! In England it's been classified as 12A which means that anyone under 12 has to be accompanied by an adult so she is allowed to go and see it but I'd hate for us to go and then have to leave if she doesn't like it!?!!!! She loves all of the others but she does always ask what's going on so the other viewers might not like that! She was also devastated by Dobby's death in Part 1! But we'll have to talk to her and see!
