Horrible Bosses


Tonight I have been to see Horrible Bosses.
Three downtrodden workers plot to kill their ghastly employers in this near-the-knuckle comedy.
Everybody's had an awful boss they've dreamed about killing. But nobody actually plots to do the evil deed - apart from these guys. Mind you, they've been pushed to their limits. Dale Arbus (Charlie Day) is a humble dental assistant whose sexually aggressive boss, Dr. Julia Harris (Jennifer Aniston), is determined to have her way with him. Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman) endures the world's most demanding, sarcastic and unfeeling boss in the unappealing form of Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey). Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis) seems to have a relatively easy life under kindly Jack Pellitt (Donald Sutherland). Until, that is, Pellitt's annoying, cocaine-addled son, Bobby (Colin Farrell), takes over. But to pull off the perfect murders, the trio need expert help. On the seedy side of town, they recruit murder consultant Motherfucker Jones (Jamie Foxx), little suspecting he's a con artist.

3D - HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PT 2


Last night i went to see 3D - Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows PT 2
The wait is over - Harry Potter's amazing adventure concludes in stunning 3D!
The thrilling, epic climax to the most lucrative film franchise of all time. Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) have embarked on a quest to find and destroy the Horcruxes that would give evil Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) immortality. In Part 1, this kept the trio away from Hogwarts for what was supposed to be their final year, during which time they also uncovered the secret of the Deathly Hallows: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Cloak of Invisibility. But now Voldemort has raised the stakes by acquiring the unbeatable Elder Wand and is about to launch a full assault on Hogwarts. The trio's only hope is to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes. Returning to Hogwarts, they prepare for a last stand against the forces of darkness threatening the Muggles and Wizarding worlds alike.

The Tree Of Life


Tonight I have been to see The Tree Of Life.

One of the world's greatest directors stages a haunting meditation on the meaning of life through the prism of an ordinary man's quest for knowledge.
Both intimate and epic, writer/director Terrence Malick's impressionistic hymn to life begins in the 1950s and centres on the O'Brien family from the US Midwest. It follows the journey of Jack from childhood innocence to disillusioned adulthood as he tries to reconcile a difficult and complicated relationship with his father. Played as an adult by Sean Penn, Jack finds himself spiritually adrift in the modern world. As he seeks answers to big questions about the origin and meaning of life, and struggles with the nature of faith, Malick takes us on an unforgettable, kaleidoscopic cosmic trip towards the infinite reaches of space and time. Along the way, he explores how brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only individuals and families, but all life.

Bridesmaids


Tonight I have been to see Bridesmaids again.
The ladies make more mayhem than the men ever could in this wedding comedy!
For Annie (Kristen Wiig) life has become a bit of a mess. With a failed bakery business behind her, she now has a job in a jewellery shop. Her sleazy boyfriend Ted (John Hamm) ranks her as a lowly number three on his 'friends with benefits' list. The only people she can confide in are her mother (Jill Clayburgh) and best friend, Lilian (Maya Rudolph). But now Lilian has announced that she's marrying her boyfriend and Annie simply must be the maid of honour. Suddenly, our miserable, emotionally needy heroine finds herself in charge of four new friends - Disney-loving Becca (Ellie Kemper), drunken housewife Rita (Wendi McLendon-Covey), overweight motormouth Megan (Melissa McCarthy) and wealthy perfectionist Helen (Rose Byrne), who's determined to be Maid of Honour herself. Next stop is a bachelorette party in Las Vegas. And we all know 'what happens in Vegas...'
