What We Do In The Shadows (2014): Two Line Review

Fang-tastically funny vampire mockumentary with a fantastic ensemble performance, although Clement and Waititi steal the show. If you thought it was too late for a vampire parody, think again!



Thinking Film Rating: 8.5/10


Public Opinion: 8.2/10

What We Do In The Shadows - Jermaine Clement & Taika Waititi

Hector and the Search For Happiness (2014): Two Line Review

While rather heavy-handed in it's core themes, this is a charming film with a great lead performance from Pegg. His travels have a real edge which makes the message all the more potent.

Dead Poets Society (1989): Two Line Review

Whilst not appreciating poetry as much as the next person, this is a brilliant film with a strong message of Carpe Diem (seize the day)! A great ensemble performance, top a nicely told story.

The Five-Year Engagement (2012): Two Line Review

A sub-par romantic-comedy despite the stellar cast, the characters ended up rather unlikable due to a weak script. The solutions seemed so obvious, it felt like the characters deserved their problems.

The Inbetweeners 2 (2014): Two Line Review

Had a few funny moments, but generally this follow up had unlikable, over-done characters (even the main four), needlessly crude humour and didn't seem to follow on from the last film at all.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): Two Line Review

Hands down, the best thing to come out of Marvel ever! Laugh-out-loud funny, cooky, incredibly entertaining and topped off with a great soundtrack - the blockbuster of the summer!

Tangled (2010): Two Line Review

A Disney flick for the new generation; easy to watch, funny and, at times, touching. The story is pretty generic but, in touch with the new age, this princess feels like she actually has some depth. 



Thinking Film Review: 6.5/10


Public Opinion: 7.9/10
Critics Opinion: 8.9/10

Tangled - Nathan Greno, Byron Howard
