Oscars are coming - Reviews of The Tourist, True Grit and 127 Hours
Award season is in full swing and there is plenty of movies to catch up on before the Oscars in March. So me and my beloved decided to have a bit of the film fest this weekend.
I had to travel to a cinema in Solihull to see the first film as it was on playing at the Odeon in Coventry, which is not a nice cinema.
127 hours
A brilliant film. Extremely well shot for what is pretty much a one man show. Danny Boyle stuns once again. James Franco was amazing, I think he is a unappreciated talent.

On Sunday we decided to have a lazy day and watched two movies back to back and ate about two backs of wine gums:
True Grit
A good old fashioned western from Coen brothers. A well told tale and a fantastic performance from Hailee Steinfeld.

The Tourist
Not the usual high fayre drama you expect to see from Jolie and Depp. But this is a fun movie all the same. It does have a fun twist and keeps you entertained throughout.

Still a lot of movies to see. Up next is Black Swan or The Fighter or Kings Speech or Blue Valentine. I can't decide, I will fill you in next week.

New Years Resolution
Happy New Year.
It is a new year and with every new year comes new year resolutions.
In 2010 I vowed to learn how to drive. I accomplished that one. Now in 2011 my first resolution in to actually pass my driving test!
I have came along way in 2010, after 40 lessons I am nearly at test standard. But due to a unreliable instructor, I am having to change driving schools at this late stage. I just hope it doesn't gold me back.
Others resolutions for 2011 include

Others resolutions for 2011 include
- Losing a few pounds (actual weight, not £10 notes from my purse)
- To make further steps forward with my career
- Pass IDM in Digital Marketing
- Travel more
- Exercise more
- And one that I wont be telling anyone.
I have to start this year off the best I can, with the best of intentions. With all the birds falling out the sky, fishes turning up dead and crabs washing up on shore, I think it is best to try and keep a positive point of few.
