Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012)

By Daniel Bradley

I waited a long time to see this one, thinking someone else I know might see it first and give me a review. I'm fickle like that. But I'm now so very glad I saw it first.

Poignant, touching, chuckle worthy gags one moment and heart strings the next. Keira is likeable, scatty and terrifically British. Steve is the perfect, down to Earth cynical introvert... his actions and reactions are timed perfectly. Credit to him as an actor, and to the writers.

The dog gets a special mention.

Best moment, Keira.

Worst moment, knowing the film has to end.

See this film if you like your apocalypse films light hearted, thoughtful and genuinely amusing. 8.7/10

The Art Of Getting By (2011)

By Daniel Bradley

This one is a weird one. I love these actors and I love this film company, I love the setting and I love the subject matter.

This film is about first loves, and quirky feelings, school leavers, art and mind games with one treacherous, sadistic little hussy. It makes you want to walk the streets of New York in the fall with a cigarette and a long coat.

Best moment: George's dialogue. His painting.

Worst moment: Poor scripting in the restaurant.

Watch if you're a fan of Empire Records & High Fidelity. 7/10
