X-Men: First Class, documentaries galore and some ferociously funny comedy

I went to see the stylish X-Men: First Class and wrote my first review for Starburst Magazine. I really enjoyed the film and thought it was a a great start to a new trilogy. Fassbender and McAvoy owned the film. If you want to read any features or reviews on the Starburst website you need to register (which is free) by clicking on the register tab on the left hand side of the screen.

I was a hater when it came to The Hangover Part II which didn't make me laugh, not even once. Some serious issues were tackled in the South African drama Life, Above All. I was wonderfully surprised by Xavier Dolan's second feature film Heartbeats which inspired me to watch his first film I Killed My Mother  (on Film4 recently.) Hopefully they will show it again soon as it is definitely worth a watch.



Bridesmaids is a film I would really recommend catching and it is out in the UK from 22nd June 2011.
A step in the right direction for a film featuring such ferocious female comedic talent.
Cinetalk got a makeover and is looking fabulous! You can read my review for Donor Unknown which is a fascinating documentary about the sperm trade, out in UK cinemas now and showing on More4 on 28th June.

The film that has stuck with me most over the last couple of weeks is Rio Breaks a documentary about two kids growing up in the Favela's of Rio de Janeiro and their love of surfing. It is out in the UK now and I urge you all to watch it, please do let me know what you think, it blew me away.
