Film Freak: The Kite Runner & The Jane Austin Book Club

Film Freak:-

With all the wet Summer weather I have found great comfort in heading to the cinema for two very different yet both fantastic films in their own right.

First Up we will start with "The Kite Runner", an amazing tale of great friendship and deals with themes much more mature than the two leads ages. This film is beautifully shot and deals with many issues and has such an inspirational message. You leave the cinema feeling like you have planted 100 trees or erased Britney Spears entire back catalogue from the history of music to save the souls of the next generation.

Second up, it sounds camp and a cliched chick film, well yes and yes but the Jane Austin Book Club is a fun, funny and at times sad film about 6 people all looking for something more fulfilling in their lives. I felt I had a bit of each of the six main characters in me, and you can't help leaving the cinema smiling.

Two very watchable films as this year is really turning out to be a great year for film.
Also still to come is the much anticaptied follow up to "Batman Begins", the "Dark Knight" film, Heath's final film. This movie will be bigger than Ben Huir! The trailer looks stunning and god bless Heath he was bloody talented and in this film he makes Jack Nicholson's original Joker character rather like Mika, that annoying homo bouncing around singing about big girls and Grace Kelly.

Also a BIG happy Valentines Day to you all.

Kisses,
Andrew
