Amazing Grace

We joined a large group of good friends at Rialto Newmarket to watch Amazing Grace. This definitely added to the atmosphere and expectation for this film.

Beforehand I knew it was going to be about a man who’s faith in God, changed British Parliament and ultimately the world through the abolition of Slavery. But I was a bit nervous, what if it was slow and boring?

Thankfully, I shouldn’t have worried – it was Wonderful! Really inspiring and even funny in places! This is a real story of perseverance and accomplishment. I enjoyed the clothes, the scenery and the humour, especially the witty debate in the House of Commons. There was even a sweet love interest story laced throughout which was really enjoyable.

Excellent movie, highly recommend.

Fantastic 4 – Rise of the Silver Surfer

Spiderman 3 and last years Superman were so disappointing, so I was slightly apprehensive about seeing this film.

However this movie definitely stood out amongst it’s genre. It was witty and had all the gadgets and action that you would expect. Some critics have been quite tough on Jessica Alba’s acting, but I thought she was great and I enjoyed her performance.

I wouldn’t put this film into the X-men category, but I really enjoyed the light, entertainment that this film offered. Very pleasantly surprised.
