Me, Earl and the Dying Girl

Another Screen Unseen and another corker from Odeon.

Here we find Greg (Thomas Mann), a young lad who spends his time blending in with every 'group' at school and making parody films with his 'co-worker' Earl (R J Cyler).  Then one day he's forced by his hippy parents (played by the excellent Connie Britton and Nick Offerman) into spending time with a newly diagnosed cancer sufferer, Rachel (Olivia Cook)..

Again this is not the sort of film I'd choose. I haven't seen "The Fault In Our Stars" but from what I've heard this is a funnier version.. Actually, to be honest I found this hilarious in places.. The movie references and parodies certainly helped..  It perhaps got a little too sentimental towards the end for my liking, but then it is a film about cancer so what d'you expect..

Overall, well worth seeing and another £5 well spent.. ***1/2

The Man from U.N.C.L.E

Ok, for those of you who live in a cave this film is based on the TV series that ran in the 60's. 

It stars Henry Cavil and Armie Hammer who play CIA and Russian spy's (respectively) and are forced to team up with each other after a third party acquire a nuclear device and threaten to World War III..

Firstly the good points:

1) Alica Vikander's in it.

2) It's a Guy Richie film so you know the action's going to be stylish.

3) As well as the two leads Jared Harris and Hugh Grant are also there to add some class

4) Alica Vikander's in it.

Despite these above points the film seems to lack something.. I'm not sure if its the chemistry between the two leads?.... or that the dialogue's a bit clunky? I dunno..? All I can say is that from the man who gave us 2 excellent Sherlock Homes movies this seems a disappointment.  Christ! it even has Alica Vikander in it..

.. and that's the main reason it gets its **1/2..

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation

Here we have Mission Impossible 5.. I think. I notice they've stopped numbering them now... Probably to fit in with the Bond and Bourne franchises.

In this one
