Les Misérables

The much-awaited musical production, Les Mis, finally came to the cinemas in the UK! The film is set in France in 1815 and is filled with heart wrenching moments.

Anne Hathaway plays the part of Fantine, a woman who tries anything to send money to her illegitimate daughter. She looks stunning as her character, even when she is forced to chop off her beautiful long hair. Amanda Seyfried plays the part of Fantine's grown up daughter, Cosette, and looks equally as stunning as Anne throughout the film! We could sit here for hours and list great moments, every actor and actress pulls their weight and contributes to an all round amazing film.

If you're looking for a dramatic film that pulls on the heart strings, then this is the film for you. Half the cinema were in floods of tears when we went to see this!

Have you seen Les Mis - what did you think? How did you think it compares to the stage show? 

Life of Pi

This week I went to see Life of Pi at the cinema in 3D. I know it's been out a while now but I'm really glad I caught it before it leaves the cinema for good.

I won't give too much away in case you are still hoping to see it, but it was very different to what I expected it to be. I think the trailer did a brilliant job of showing how beautiful the film is without giving too much about the story away.

It was a very powerful film and the imagery was out of this world - in 3D the colours were even more amazing. The film takes you on a real journey of a mix of emotions.  I wasn't expecting it to be so happy, sad, scary and funny all at the same time! I really want to read the book now :)

Pitch Perfect

We might be a bit late to the party with this, but we went to see Pitch Perfect this week. It was about time another American highschool/college singing movie was released!

This film is filled with hiliarous moments, a gorgeous cast and random outbursts of song - what more could you want?! Without giving too much away, there's a scene where they have a 'riff-off', which is basically a shameless collection of acapella songs that will get you singing along straight away.

The characters in this film are amazing - 'Fat Amy', played by Rebel Wilson, is our personal favourite. She's got lines that you'll be quoting for days!

The Impossible

This weekend some of us in the office are off to watch The Impossible, starring Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor. Have any of you seen it?

We have been eagerly awaiting the release of this film, the trailer alone left all of us girls feeling very emotional. Nobody will ever forget the tragic tsunami that hit Southeast Asia in 2004, it's hard to believe it happened over 6 years ago now. With incredible scenes like the one pictured above, J.A Bayona looks to have done a superb job at showing the true magnitude and intensity of this natural disaster.
