Scott Pilgrim: A Review
I'm actually surprised I hadn't reviewed this film earlier but I recently watched it again so I'll do it now. The first time I watched the film I was mildly amused by it. I'm a gamer chick so 99% of the game references made me chuckle to myself. I love the Universal intro in 8 [...]

Hanna: A Review
Hanna is a film I've already seen twice in a very short space of time. I loved the main actress, who's name I can never spell or say, Saoirse Ronan, from City of Ember and Atonement. I wasn't dissapointed with her in this film either. The plot was unique enough that it held my interest [...]
