REVIEW: (500) Days of Summer
What did you think of the last line? Have your say!
Deemed to be original and true to life, I found this film a massive cliché, bar a few scenes in the middle which kept me tuned in. There is nothing sadder than unrequited love, and yeah, it happens in real life and not so much in the cinema. However, I found so many aspects of the film extremely try-hard and there was such an effort to be “cool” being made the whole way through. Funny how they were both big Smiths fans, and not Britney fans (for want of a better example).

REVIEW: Away We Go
Directed by Sam Mendes, this film follows an unmarried couple as they travel around America trying to find the perfect place to raise their unborn baby. On the way, they encounter old friends and relatives, to both hilarious and heart wrenching effect. It is hard to decide who really makes this film the classic that it is: Is it the leading characters or the support characters?

REVIEW: The September Issue
“They had style, they had grace. Rita Hayworth gave good face…”
Being a self-confessed fashion-sceptic and a firm non-believer in the “label-orientated” couture culture that seems to engage so many of the female species in the past few decades, I must admit I was pleasantly surprised with documentarist RJ Cutler’s ”The September Issue”. An attempt to slice underneath the glossy layer of the fashion industry’s most iconic and influential “bible”; the spectacularly luxurious “Vogue”.
