LEGO Movie Review

Emmet proudly buys an overpriced coffee in The LEGO Movie

As promised, we’re bringing you a short but sweet review of The LEGO Movie which we went to go and see at the Lincoln ODEON.

Basically, it’s great as we thought it was going to be. It isn’t quite as spectacular as all the critics are making it out to be, but in all seriousness it is a great family film.

Even when we say ‘family’ we mean that lightly. There are so many jokes which are suitable for grown-ups in this film that really you should have no shame as a young student or young person in general without children in going and seeing this film.

Only issue is that people seem to be labouring under the impression that it is a film just for kids, so parents are taking their children to see it. This is annoying.

There’s a point in the film where the main character, Emmet, really does hit a jeopardy point and this young child next to us started to cry. It was rather irritating. We wanted to tell the parents to shut it up but then the situation is rather quickly resolved so fortunately the little shit only ruined about 180 seconds of the movie for us.

It does end with the stereotypical American ending which is everyone looking ‘bleary-eyed’ and ‘proud’ as some characters save the day, but it is great. The end is also begging for a sequel, which it looks as though Warner Brothers may have already confirmed. We’re pleased about this.

What Is Inside No 9?

It’s been almost 24 hours since this bizarre comedy graced our screens.

If you missed Inside No 9, then seriously, stop whatever you’re currently doing. Cancel any plans for the next 30 minutes.

Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith have brought us yet another amazing programme, but in the usual weird style. After Psychoville, we’d expect nothing less than creepy characters and shocking storylines.

Episode 1 is appropriately named ‘Sardines’. The hiding game, which you’ve probably never played (unlucky). If you’re still confused, Yahoo has the answer to everything. No really, it does.

If all this talk of sardines has made you a bit peckish, here’s a load of recipes you might want to try.

So, the entire episode is more or less set in a wardrobe, the best part being when Ben Willbond, (the attractive one from Horrible Histories), joins the fun. Who wouldn’t want to be trapped in a wardrobe with Ben though? Really.
