There are a lot of films past and present which are on my list to see but it's a matter of getting hold of them and getting the time to see them. Sometimes I like older films better as I feel the acting was a bit better and it was less about the amount of special effects but purely about the plot. When we were having our weekly DVD night, my friend mentioned that she had the film 'Thelma & Louise' it is a classic that I've heard so much about and was curious about but had never had the DVD so when she said it all other options went out of the window and we settled on this for our choice that week. Geena Davis (Thelma) and Susan Sarandon (Louise) are two ...  Read the complete review

Thelma and Louise: before I watched this film I knew very little about it, other than the Simpsons parody of it when Marge runs off with her friend for a wild weekend. But if it gets a Simpsons parody, it must be good, right? My theory was proved correct, since I found it to be a really interesting, well-directed and ultimately entertaining film. It’s the film that helped kick off girl power when the Spice Girls were still at school, and it’s part of director Ridley Scott’s large back catalogue of influential movies. Susan Sarandon plays Louise, a waitress who is bored of her boyfriend, and who invites her friend, Thelma, on a weekend break. However, ...  Read the complete review
