Top Films Of...April

I have decided each month to post the top 5 films for the month that I believe are worth watching. These could be anything from the latest Hollywood blockbuster to a new release DVD that's just hit Civic Video. Here's what I'm looking forward to for April:

1. Wish You Were Here
ABSOLUTELY THE MOST EXCITING FILM OF THE YEAR!!!!! With the Blue-Tongue Films guys behind almost every aspect of this production plus the wonderful mind of Angie Fielder from Aquarius Films, this one is set to be a stunner.

2. The Hunger Games
After all the hype (and box-office success) one almost has to go watch this film purely so that you know what the difference is between a "tribute" and a "victor". Or at least so that you can look cool in front of your kids sister (come on, we all know that was the only reason you watched Twilight. Right?)

3. The Pirates! Band of Misfits
It's not everyday that you get to witness some of the best stop-motion animation this world has ever made. That's why (despite its kooky story and subject matter) I am planning to make this movie a must see on my list for April. With the makers of Chicken Run and Wallace and Gromit behind this extravanganza, what more could you want?

4. Salmon Fishing In The Yemen
Emily Blunt. Ewan MacGregor. What more needs to be said? Other than title which I believe, speaks for itself.

5. 21 Jump Street
Absolutely one of THE best movies I have seen so far this year. The editing, soundtrack, concept and acting were all brilliantly executed to entertain my fledgling 22 year old brain, which has a concentration problem bigger than Venus and a habit of resorting to one's iPhone if things get a bit boring. None of that ensued in the screening I attended of this film. Everyone from miles around could be heard laughing their asses off to the brilliant one-liners and hilarious gags on screen. GO SEE IT!
