Lately there have been some really good films on at the cinema, so I thought I would do a blog post on them.
Also Sam and I have considered getting the Cineworld Unlimited Monthly card because more good films are coming out it works out cheaper with the card and you get some good discounts from local restaurants which is brilliant as the Cineworld in Stoke is in The Hive, so it's next to nice restaurants which means we could have a lovely date night.
There are more discounts for places like Flip Out and The Regent Theater & Victoria Hall so it's worth the money.
I will leave links at the bottom of this blog post.
*Baby's voice* B-A-B-Y
Baby Driver, wow! This film has instantly made it into my all time favourite films and what makes it even better is that it's a romantic yet car thriller musical, and that ticks all the boxes for me aha.
I wasn't that impressed with the trailer if I'm honest, but I am glad that I went to watch the film because it's brilliant and keeps you on the edge of the seat.
Baby (Ansel Elgort) a talented and unique getaway driver unwillingly works for a crime boss (Kevin Spacey) Baby got into a crash when he was little so now he suffers from Tinnitus so he relies on the beat of his personal soundtrack to be the best at what he does.
But that all changes when he meets the love of his life Debora (Lily James) who's a waitress working for the 50's themed Bo's diner, where she sings to B-A-B-Y whist waiting. Baby catches the attention of Debora and it all starts there.
Debora dreams of heading west ''in a car I can't afford, with a plan I don't have'' Baby and Debora are perfect for each other.
Now Baby plans on leaving his racer boy lifestyle behind and start fresh with Debora, but he has to press pause on his dream as his crime boss wants him to do one more race that doesn't end well. With Debora kept in the dark over Baby's secret life he struggles to balance both.
With the final race coming up, Baby gets more anxious and ends up slipping up which results in a big car police chase, Baby has 2 things on his mind, Debora and them both running away, head west with just the music. But obviously it doesn't end well.
I'd definitely recommend going to see this movie or get it on DVD when it comes out, you won't regret it, also Ansel Elgort is the main Man, do I need to say anymore? ;)
I have been looking forward to this film for months, I've watched all of the films and enjoyed each one, and this one hasn't disappointed me.
So this film is a war between Caesar and Colonel. It's set 15 years later and Caesar and his family are hidden away deep in the woods away from the Humans, but the Humans want to find Caesar and they succeed, but Caesar let's them go back to Colonel their leader.
So later on, Caesar is betrayed by an ape in his group and the Colonel and a few of his men sneak down this waterfall to where Caesar and his family live / sleep, and this is done at night which is really unexpected. Caesar goes off into the tunnels after sensing the men, leaving his Wife and Son alone and vulnerable, this gives Colonel the opportunity to sneak into his living space and kill Caesars wife and son which devastates Caesar when he finds out and vows to kill Colonel, if you can guys remember Koba Caesar is slowly showing similar traits to Koba.
So with Caesars group headed to the South for 'safety' Caesar heads to Colonel to kill him, along the way they come across Nova a vulnerable Human and 'Bad Ape' who's a lone Ape, I think those two characters made the film it is quite a slow film and Bad Ape added the perfect amount of humour to keep everyone's attention I think and Nova showed that not all Humans are bad and want to kill Apes. When he gets there Caesar learns that his whole group have been captured except a few who followed him to help kill the Colonel.
Caesar is captured by Colonel who is using the apes to build a wall against the other people who were about to attack in a few days, with the help Bad Ape, Nova and a couple of other loyal apes then help release the group and get them to safety from the explosions from the others. But what kills the others is an avalanche from the mountains, which wipes out everyone except a small group of the apes who hid in the trees. Caesar is sadly shot but did make it to where the group were originally going but with the lack of medical equipment and with Caesar growing old he didn't survive *sobs*
Overall the film was really good but I am interested to what the next film will be about.
Finally, Dunkirk. Best advice if you don't know the history behind Dunkirk then google it and watch a few videos first, the film is about the evacuation and the Germans pushing past the French barriers and closing in, watching it keeps you on the edge of your seat because the British were so close to home but so far, over 8 days 338, 226 soldiers were rescued by over 800 boats including fisherman which really is incredible.
I thought the film was really good, any history / war film I love to watch as I enjoy learning about history and this has taught me a lot. Harry Styles is in the film which I was wary of because he's a singer I've never seen him in anything before but he did really well, he's a natural at it. Also
The film is a bit slow and jumpy at parts but it really is good, I've learnt more about the director as well from a youtube video and I'm going to watch more of his films.
Overall brilliant film, don't miss it.
That's it for today's blog, I hope I haven't rambled on too much, I haven't done a post like this before and I plan on doing more in the future.
If you have seen any of these films then please leave a comment what you think of them :)
