The Amazing Spider-Man

Personally I have and always will be a Batman fan, having said that I did really like Spiderman.

I have seen bits of previous Spiderman films and roughly knew the story. This modern adaptation with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone really took spiderman in another direction with undated action and also comedy.

I was also overwhelmed by the performance of Martin Sheen who played Peter Parker's uncle. His performance practically had me in tears at one point.

I thought that the new storyline was really interesting and the addition of Dr Kurt Conners made the film fascinating. Though I do think it hinted slightly at Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

This film is another great action/ superhero film, I would definitely recommend it.

Easy A

So hilarious!

I honestly loved this film it was absolutely brilliant!

'Easy A' for many would be considered as a typical teen drama, chick flick etc. And to be honest it probably is, however having seen a huge range of teen rom-coms, this has to be one of the best. The film really is sheer genius and gives those girls who do feel 'invisible' at high school a really kick at watching Olive mess around with the typical high school system.

Emma Stone is brilliant, of course, I haven't seen her in many things and I think that she was so funny in this. Her use of sarcasm and irony in this is sheer genius.

You also have to admire the performances of Stanley Tucci playing Olive's wacky/fun father and also Lisa Kudrow as the school councillor. I also really liked Amanda Bynes performance as the religious/ innocent Marianne and also Aly Michalka as the obsessive, loud best friend.

This film could be linked in a way to 'Mean Girls' sharing a stroke of genius and heaps of humour. I really would recommend watching this if you have the chance, it's a great laugh.
