The Inbetweeners Movie

Will, Jay, Simon and Neil are going the way of Kevin and Perry and hitting the big screen for a larger than life adventure if a mature nature. When Simon is left heart broken by long time love intrest Carly, Jay and the rest of the guys decide the best way to help there grieving friend and celebrate the end of their school lives is to embark on a wild lads holiday to Malia. Let loose the carnage of chasing after girls and drinking endless amounts of alcohol and as always the many awkward situations the group find themselves constantly facing, will this trip be the shining entrance into mature life or will they sink and find themselves sleeping face first in an ants nest, most likely a mixture of both as the finale of the Inbetweeners ends abroad.

What can i say each of the guys shines with the same grace as the series maybe even stepping it up a notch and making you actually care about the predicaments the four rowdy lads face. Simon Bird (Will) shows the pretentious twerp who can never say the right thing even when he means well, with Joe Thomas (Simon) still portraying the soppy teenager who still even on holiday can't put Carly, the supposed love of his life out of his head and reveals he's as naive as he is soppy when it comes to romance. Blake Harrison (Neil) steps up to the plate of the painfully naive and in no way innocent member who's dancing seems to be the main draw to the ladies, somehow. Last but not least is the filthiest, depraved and genuinely completely out of sync with reality is James Buckley (Jay) while showing to be the shallow and crude friend who can come up with over a million absurdities to offend and insult, he like the other guys show on the big outing that he has something that can at a distance be seen as appeal. With each of the boys pushing further the archetypal features of their characters and reinforcing them, they may not add anything new but they sure hit home with what we were expecting and more.

As i said it doesn't offer anything new, if you weren't a fan of the Inbetweeners this won't change your mind. Yet if you were a fan it does the impossible by actually making even more ludicrous situations for the guys and even surpasses what they've gone through before and you would know how bad that would make it. Essentially this is one extended episode of awkward situation after awkward situation and to be honest i have to admit i went in as not the biggest fan out there but thought the series was good for light entertainment, yet i found myself laughing out loud a lot. So the scenarios are up scaled, the booze is fresh in the air and the boys are back in a new town and heading to the night clubs. It may not be the greatest comedy of all time and yes some of the jokes may be fairly out there but it's a finale to give the boys a good send off, with that it offers entertainment for any youthful adolescent bored and wanting to see a youthful, British version of outrageous comedy.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

  The Year is 2019. The Avengers have won. DC is almost nowhere to be seen and the Dark Universal Monsters Universe has hopefully been lost somewhere in the black sea. Wait... What is that? Is that a monster movie?? Is that Japans great lizard/Americanised cousin? Yes. Yes it is and he's here to show the world what he's made of! While first reading this you'll most likely be saying 'Wait. stop. Isn't that the Godzilla movie which critics are panning and hasn't scraped the box office??? Well on a technical level you'd be right, but sit right there and let me riff a little here; Godzilla: King of the monsters takes a giant radioactive step from the world of 2014's first outing for the new Godzilla and actually shows more than 8 minutes (No really go back and see just how much he's in the film...) of the big green not referring to Mark Ruffalo but japan's own green wrecking machine. Godzilla is king. Especially in terms of monster brawls and I can...

Oblivion

Cruise is back doing what comes naturally. No, not impossible missions, this time round Cruise is back on Sci-fi but instead of running from crimes he already commit in the future(How long has it been now since minority report?) he finds himself the maintenance man of a post-apocalyptic earth in 2077. Jack Harper is technician #49 of a group specifically tasked with keeping Earth's remaining defences up and running, alongside partner Victoria he awaits the coming full transportation to the new human colony on Titan. Being one of the last to leave Earth, both are anxious about the final few days of maintenance before they can finally leave the blue planet behind them, though for different reasons. While Victoria is increasingly eager to start a new life, something digs at Jack who still relates some connection to the planet no matter how void of life. It's only after a crashed pod brings an echo of human life back to earth that Jack ...

DUNKIRK

Christopher Nolan is back. Cinematography's dark knight feels well at home with the gritty and grim setting that is the beaches of Dunkirk. Historically tuned to tell us the story of an army in despair abandoning the continent already aflame to war as the German army pushes both the English and the french towards the sea. This film isn't about one central character but the character of the soldier who still fights when winning is no longer an option but survival is very much the morale and more crucial victory. From the films opening moments of unsettling silence on a french street to the windswept harsh cold of a dull beached out collection of sullen faced men the tone is deafening of defeat, and yet a film so full of despair it's clear the message of the film is very much hope. From the valiant efforts of a three man RAF patrol running low on fuel who'll do whatever it takes to stand where they still can, a group of civilian requisitioned boats sent to the jaws of wa...
