I knew this was a total chick flick and I knew that it would be rubbish before I watched it but I had to see it because of the lovely Zooey Deschanel. Thankfully it was worth watching for Zooey’s performance. She was the only decent thing in the film and any scene she wasn’t in had me reaching for a pen in order to stab at my eyeballs.

Only watched this 2006 film today and had yet another “why am I only seeing this now?” moment. Ryan Gosling gives a great performance as a drug-addicted school teacher in Brooklyn, New York. (read more…)

Apparently in the 1930s, black people in the southern US weren’t liked all that much by the whiteys. Hard to believe isn’t it? Thankfully they’ve come a long way since then. They have, right?? The Great Debaters is based on the true story of Wiley College in Texas, a school for black people, which was the first to take part in a debate against a white college. (read more…)
