Lenny Abrahamson<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I watched <i>Room</i>, for the first time last night. I had heard great things of course, especially following the films BAFTA success earlier this week, but despite the hype I was still utterly blown away. </span><div>
<div>
<img class="irc_mi" height="350" src="http://lylesmoviefiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/room-movie-2015-jacob-temblay-brie-larson.jpg" style="margin-top: 72px;" width="600" /></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly, don't worry no spoilers, I have kept the descriptions pretty vague.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the credits rolled I found myself desperate to sit a while and just reflect, there was so much to take in. Annoyingly, I work at the cinema and had no time for this and had to jump up and continue my ushering duties in a sort of strange, light headed, speechless manner.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is incredible how captivating a film can be when it is based primarily in one small room. One thing that I really felt was that the longer the room scenes continued, the more I was yearning to see outside; the film drew me in as though I was trapped in there with them. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought that the script was compelling, and put forward this strange combination of light hearted conversation between mother and son, and yet also reflected this deeply lonely, desperate reality of their life. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also structurally the key narrative only became apparent to us as the viewer, as they became apparent to the boy. I thought this was an especially effective way of story telling, keep the audience in the dark, rather than many films that tend to spell it out for you from the word go. This was far more enjoyable.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An incredible story, and unlike anything that I have ever come across before. A true emotional roller coaster. I already want to see it again.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is the trailer (although I would just advise to watch the film without knowing)</span></div>

I know it has been a long time, as usual, but this time it would seem I am back for good. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As part of the film degree, that I am currently undertaking, we are required to bring out our inner journalists and regularly critique the films we see. So I thought what better place to do this than here, on my old film review blog. But this time I will endeavour to venture much deeper into the films and really get thinking about the what's, why's, how's of the films and form much more stronger opinions. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please don't hesitate to question my thoughts, it would be very interesting to get some debates and conversations going about the films so please do go ahead and comment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I look forward to seeing you around here more. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I know I have neglected both my blogs for a significant amount of time, and to you 6 faithful followers I am very sorry about that! This period of radio silence will probably continue for a while after this post as I embark on a new era of my life, that being University. But have no fear I do intend to return in the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Despite this I felt that it was almost compulsory to enlighten you and persuade you to get up and go to your local movie theatre and watch this film, Begin Again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The film stars Keira Knightley, (who for some reason many people seem to dislike, I personally have never understood this and find her fabulous, but if you are one of these people I urge you to get over that hurdle, because she plays a part like no other, and is so incredibly different to her usual glamorous self,) also staring is Adam Levine, Mark Ruffalo, Hailee Steinfeld and even Cee Lo Green. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The film is essentially about music, creating music, producing music, and just really the love of music. It is one of those movies that inspires you and I would even go as far to say that is a movie which makes you, me, everyone, glad to be alive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

I mean it was a child hood favourite of like every girl, I'm pretty sure they even teach it in nurseries. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So anyway next year a new Cinderella will the hitting the big screen. I know, how absolutely madly insane! And don't worry, it isn't another cartoon, by the looks it's a pretty adolescent take on the innocent film which we are all so used to. I doubt there will be many sweetly singing mice, but you never know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To add to all this let me tell you, the cast looks absolutely incredible with a few new(ish) faces, Cinderella is to be played by Lily James (for those of you who watch Downton, she is Rose, the cousin of Mary and Edith). I am pretty sure she will be fabulous. Richard Madden (from the game of thrones) is to play the hansom price charming. The list goes on with Cate </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Blanchett, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Helena Bonham Carter, Sophie McShera (Daisy from Downton), </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Holliday </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Grainger, Derek Jacobi and more. This cast is quite something. I defiantly have high expectations.</span></span><br />

The film came out in the cinema in late November I think. Well I have had a request to give my opinion of it. So I will! </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The film stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Without giving the whole thing away, basically both of them are in space working on a shuttle in space. During the time when they are out in the open in space a meteor shower suddenly appears and causes havoc and mayhem resulting in some pretty devastating problems. The rest of the film is about Sandra and George's return, or how they plan on doing it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would totally recommend watching it. If anything it is just amazing that they even managed to film it in such a realistic manner. It would be insane in 3D...if you happen to have a 3D telly, which I imagine most people don't but you never know. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But anyway if your stuck looking for something to watch, watch it. You wont regret it.</span></div>

I think it may be one of the most beautiful films I have even seen in fact. I saw it for the first time only the other day when I was fishing through the DVD shelf and happed upon it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The cast is fabulous, Colin Firth, Julianne More, Nicholas Hoult (who is so good looking) and more but I will leave you some suspense.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The beauty is most probably because it was directed by the fashion designer Tom Ford. It has such incredible attention to detail and the light is so perfect. I have decided to not even show any photos from the film because I couldn't fine one good enough on google, they insulted its beauty. But of course I will show you the trailer...</span><br />

It was released in 2009, so it has been around for a while. But if you by any chance haven't seen it, or maybe even heard of it, I recommend you watch it. It is truly great.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was directed by Sam Taylor-Wood, who is also know for her wacky photography, so as you can imagine the whole movie seems like a work of art in its self, with lots of attention to detail. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The film stars Arron Johnson, who I love. He is so great, and I am in love with his part in this film. He is just such a dude. Anyway the film is basically about the life of John Lennon before he started the band, The Beatles. I wont give anymore away, but you can watch the trailer...</span><br />

I watched this last week after great anticipation, and was certainly not let down. I did in fact read all the books, and am a avid fan it has to be said. But I think even if you didn't read the books I really would recommend this. It was a masterpiece in every way. The costumes where amazingly beautiful and extravagant as expected from the vivid descriptions from the book. And despite knowing the entire story line I still found my self reduced to tears at least 4 times during the film, Im not sure wether this is due to the film or just that I have become rather over emotional, but to me it seemed a pretty good sign that this was a fabulous film!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">His films are literally like moving art, they are so wacky and unconventional, which is I suppose why I like them so much. He directed Fantastic Mr Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, The Royal Tenenbaums and many more. His latest film is called </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">The Grand Budapest Hotel and it is coming out in March 2014 I believe. And it looks like is going to be awesome. The cast is sick...check out the trailer,</span><br />

Whip it is awesome. Probably because it is directed by the most crazy awesome person, Drew Barrymore. This is one of those films which make you want to go and rule the world after. It stars Ellen Page, Drew Barrymore, Juliette Lewis, Kristen Wiig and Alia Shawkat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Essentially it is a film about a girl who has a pretty boring life who meets a team of roller bladders. I would elaborate but I don't want to give away the story. </span><br />

The purpose of this place is to basically give film reviews and recommend awesome films to all who read it. I have wanted to find something like this so I thought I might as well make one! </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think to begin with I am going to pick out films at random but when it becomes more established we can probably sort out a genres section and stuff! Hopefully this will be helpful for all you film lovers out there.</span></div>
