 My Review:
Having a movie day I couldn't decide what film to review however one film stood out to me more than the others have and that was Storks which made me laugh as well as kept me entertained all the way through the movie. As a result I thought that this would be the perfect film for me to review.

Personally I liked how this film showed how Storks carried babies like what children are told when they are little however decided to change to just delivering parcels due to one of them wanting to steal a baby and as a result has lived in their warehouse her whole life. I did think that the main boss was mean and that from the beginning I didn't trust him especially when he wanted to get rid of her on her birthday even though it was the only home she had ever known. By also showing how he only seemed to care about money did kind of humour me as they are birds and don't need money in order to survive. Not only this but by having the boss also mean to the other birds in the factory it showed how he was not to be trusted! I thought that this created a good villain from the early stages of the movie which progresses well throughout. I did think by showing how the baby cuteness effected everyone from the storks, the humans and even a pack of wolves was good in giving a better understanding of how one of the storks could have chosen to try and steal a baby instead of giving it to the parents. I also thought that the wolves brought comedy to the movie which just enhanced the experience for me and I loved how they would create into different things in which they needed to be in order to progress which I thought was really clever. Having the ending show how the stork that stole her actually wanted to try and get her back home and tried to find all the pieces to get her there was really sweet and did make me feel for them both as it showed how he knew he had done wrong and tried to fix it the only way in which he knew how. Having her go home at the end of the movie and showing how the humans weren't her only family and that she believed the Storks to be her family was really sweet and showed how she appreciated where she came from and it would always be a part of her. Finally, I loved how the child in which asked for the baby to be brought got to spend time with his parents as a result as that is why he wanted a brother so that he would be able to have someone to play with and care for as he got no time with his parents as they were always working. As they realised that he needed time with them as well and managed to give him time with them in which they all enjoyed I thought that it was sweet and left me happy that he now had a proper family.

There isn't really anything in this film in which I didn't like and would say bothered me about it. I would definitely recommend this film to those who are looking for a film for the whole family and one that will make you laugh as well really care for the character's in which are created. I would definitely see this again!

 My Rating: 4/5

I Am Wrath (film review) *contains spoilers*

Film: I Am Wrath Year: 2016 Genre: Action, Crime, Drama Directed By: Chuck Russell Starring: John Travolta, Christopher Meloni, Amanda Schull About:  A man is out for justice after a group of corrupt police officers are unable to catch his wife's killer. Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwiQCDpYzjE My Review: When my mum came home with this movie I had no idea what to expect as I had never heard of it before but liking a lot of movies with John Travolta I had high hopes that I would enjoy it. This film did surprise me a lot and something in which I enjoyed a lot more than I had expected. Starting I Am Wrath with Stanley's wife dying and how he went out for revenge made me think that this was somewhat based off of a John Wick movie, however as a fan of the trilogy this didn't bother me at all. Showing how the police and people higher up didn't care about who killed his wife and even let the killer go as he was part of a gang in which the police wer...

However, when one of the students gets obsessed with him she will do anything to be with him including secluding him from everyone else.

Fred Claus (film review) *contains spoilers*

Film:  Fred Claus Year:  2007 Genre:  Comedy, Family, Fantasy Directed By:  David Dobkin Starring:  Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamatti, Elizabeth Banks About:  Fred Claus, Santa's bitter older brother, is forced to move to the North Pole to help Santa and the elves prepare for Christmas in exchange for cash. Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzXjtxZaGS8 My Review: Over the Christmas period I decided to watch some films that I hadn't previously seen before and one of those being  Fred Claus  I thought that this was different to other Christmas movies as it focus' on Santa's brother rather than on Santa himself but also on how to keep Christmas alive and not have it closed down. By having Vince Vaughn as the main character in this I had good expectations for this movie as I generally enjoy everything in which I have seen him in. I thought that  Fred Claus  was good in how it showed how Nicholas became a saint and how h...
