I know this is late, and I'm sorry!! I shall explain soon =) I went to the cinema for Orange Wednesdays last week. I went with my house mates and we saw Harry Brown, as I mentioned before we all wanted to see it.So, first is first, here are my reasons for this post being so delayed. On Thursday I got called out to work the evening last minute. On Friday I was really rushed off my feet, with work in the morning, coursework in the afternoon, and a friend’s birthday do in the evening.
Then on Saturday, I woke up at 7.30 to travel back home for the weekend, and of course, once home I never get a chance to go on the computer, plus I end up filling my time up with seeing friends and family that I don't see often. So, please forgive me =)
Right, back to the good stuff, films! Harry Brown is like the English version of Gran Torino, in a few ways. First of all, it sees the return of an infamous star that has been out of the limelight for a while. In this case, it's Michael Caine and for Gran Torino, it’s Clint Eastwood.
The second similarity, it the fact that it is about an older man who decides to take the law into their own hands and become a vigilante against the younger violent generation.
We all loved Harry Brown, it's not only a great action packed film with a great story, but its realistic as that kind of thing does go on. Harry brown is about an estate that has been taken over by rough youngsters and everyone is forced to keep quiet or be beaten, even killed.
Though it’s a gory and blood filled film, it is enjoyable for most. Even my house mate who doesn’t like any horrors, and hates gore, she said she couldn’t watch things like that all the time lol but thought it was a great film and really good story.
I’d really recommend this film, so go and see it while you can. Hopefully i shall be updating you soon, meanwhile I'll round up some friends and pick which film we want to watch on Wednesday =)


Supurb film very enjoyable. Michael Caine was fantastic. Just proves that you don't need Hollywood's millions to make a great film.
ReplyDeleteI really like the layout of your blog, Leah. Very easy to find your way around it.
ReplyDeleteAs for Harry Brown - I really enjoyed it, even though I found some of it pretty unpleasant. mckee23 is right - you don't need millions to make a great film. Maybe 2012 should've remembered that when they went on effects overload
