#I'mNotDavidNorMargaret, Film Reviews My Way 2015


Oh thank god INTO THE WOODS was a stellar film, after the horrors of Taken 3 it was a real treat watching a stunning cast play out this Fairytale mash up of sorts and really have a good time with their individual material.



Meryl Streep was fab, Johnny Depp (despite having a small role) was great, Emily Blunt  James Corden were both wonderful and Anna Kendrick (a personal favourite of mine) was lush as Cinderella.

Speaking of Cinderella bloody Disney have a stand alone Cinderella picture out in a matter of months, cool way to get a cash grab Disney.

Anyway I have said before musicals are usually average on the big screen, well Annie and Into the Woods have been pleasant surprises recently so well done all involved.

I was tough on Taken 3 but one cannot be tough on this film it was really entertaining (although a little long) and the musical numbers didn't feel to out of place and Glee like (musical) for the sake of being musical and over the top.

Camp yes, fun yes, for children, maybe not the kids in the sold out mid Sunday matinee session I attended with with rather rowdy and seemed bored at the over 2 hour duration.

Into the Woods, a breathe of fresh air for 2015 cinema, let's hope there are only a few Taken 3's, 3.75 Stars.
