'Home' Film Review!

So yesterday I went to watch 'Home' with a friend I haven't seen in ages!

'Home' is an animated film from DreamWorks Animation and features the voiceovers from Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez and Steve Martin! It is directed by Tim Johnson. It is based on an alien-chameleon race called the 'Boovs' who migrate to planet Earth to escape their mortal enemies.They relocate all humans to one small part on Earth. One particular Boov called 'Oh' (voiced by Jim Parsons, Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory!) befriends a girl called 'Tip' (voiced by Rihanna) who escaped captivityand relocation from the Boovs. They are on a mission to find Tip's mum but come across all kinds of difficulties and struggles.

I really enjoyed this film and there were some funny lines that made you laugh.

There were also some emotional parts to this film, that will make your eyes water! I think this film is based on friendship, love, trust and determination and it is a really heartwarming film that makes you really think about what the word 'home' is about.

I would definitely recommend this film to everyone who feels like they don't belong anywhere or would just like a little pick me up on a dreary afternoon!

I would give this film a 8/10.

'Home' is in all UK cinemas now and you can watch the official trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du4jTG7-93k

Anyone seen it already or planning to? :)

American Sniper Film Preview

Last weekend I went to a preview of 'American Sniper' at the Stratford East Picturehouse cinema in London.

American Sniper is a biographical war film, based on the true story of Chris Kyle; dubbed as USA's most lethal sniper in military history. He was often nicknamed the 'legend' for his incredible ability to kill but he feels guilty for the men he could not save. The film focuses on the four tours he did on the Iraq war whilst also depicting the agony and nerves his wife and children had to go through. He had a son and a daughter with whom he struggles to form a fatherly bond.

It is a moving and emotional film about the hard reality of war and the consequences throughout. I was gripped from the beginning but at the same time a couple of scenes were hard to watch due to the graphic scenes of violence and gore. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this film and would definitely recommend to others.

Chris Kyle was played by Bradley Cooper. He really had to beef up for this film! Haha

His wife was played by Sienna Miller and it was directed by Clint Eastwood.

I would give this film a solid 9/10.

American Sniper is out in UK cinemas on Friday 16th January.
