Like Bee said, we just put it on after over-browsing Netflix and I'm so glad we did. It documented the fascinating journey that Pixar has taken from its small shaky beginnings to the massive success it is today. I had no idea what a prominent role Steve Jobs played in the creation and progression of the Pixar universe!</span></span></div>

Whilst there were some funny moments, I'm not entirely sure the comedy has stood the test of time. I'm sure it's a film that I would've really liked as a child but it's definitely no Ace Ventura! I think we'll watch the new film when it comes out though, just out of interest! </span></div>

I think I watched Dumb and Dumber when I was very little but most of what I saw seemed new to me. The problem with this film, for me, was that it seemed like Jim Carrey's practice performance for better and funnier things to come. His character in this film pales in comparison to my all time favourite character by him, Ace Ventura, and I just didn't find Jeff Daniels that funny (apart from when he was pooping, of course). </span></span></div>

The film itself is crazy and it'll leave you wondering how any of it can be based on reality. </span></span></div>

Saying that though, I really liked Elysium. The robots were awesome and the art direction and <i>sort of </i>darker / gorier sci-fi was refreshing and made a nice change from your average sci-fi flick. It's just such a shame that Jodie Foster's character never really developed into anything interesting and the plot itself was fairly basic. However, I don't really think this is a film focused on plot. It's more about setting, the basic ideas that it's built from and just giving us, the viewing public, something that is clearly inspired by the district 9 universe, a universe that I personally love. </span></span></div>

I'm guessing that this film was made to make a point about adaptation itself, to satirize Hollywood's formula for dramatic film making to the point of absurdity. It was quite interesting to watch, as a result, but there were points where I did find myself a little wide-eyed like '</span><b><span style="color: purple;">SERIOUSLY?!</span></b><span style="color: #5f5f5f;">'.

There were quite a few characters that I felt could have been developed a lot better and I think there were times when the plot could have been a little clearer. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">I think my favourite thing about this film was Quicksilver because I'm quite the Evan Peters fan.

I think it's because of how complex the premise of this film was. It links into some of the previous films, but disregards some of the others completely. I can't help but feel that by trying to make this film fit perfectly into the future past mould, it suffered greatly. You get a bit of the X-Men from the past and some of them from the future but never a complete package. To put it simply, you never get one whole juicy chicken. Instead, you're made to fight over a leg or a wing...I think I'd rather have the whole chicken! In a film which is supposed to be about a team of X-Men, it's a shame that only individuals stand out. But, hey, nods to:</span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"> James McAvoy, Micheal Fassbender, Peter Dinklage and Jennifer Lawrence.

Better late than never, eh?! Coppola's vision was well executed, pairing gentile cinematography with the book's beautiful dialogue to create a pretty faithful film. The majority of the book's thematic concerns were explored, particularly the issue of decay and despair in the suburbs. However, at times, Coppola's film deviated from the book a little and I think, as a result, it didn't quite capture the intense fragility that made the book so deliciously dark and endearing. I would recommend the film though because, whilst it's not quite as good as the book, it's still a poignant watch. </span><br />

I just really hate the casting in this film and Godzilla has strange skinny chicken legs in it. Admittedly, I can see it being difficult making a film about a giant reptilian monster that is both relateable and believable but its the simple things they get so wrong in this film. I wish I hadn't watched this film again...</span><br />

If you compare it to the Godzilla of 1998 then it is a full blown masterpiece!!! I watched Edwards' previous offering <i>Monsters</i> when it came out back in 2010 and thought it was good, particularly with the small budget it was made with. With <i>Godzilla, </i>Edwards had loads of money thrown at him and, for the most part, I think he pulled it off. Yeah, Godzilla looks a little big-boned in parts but he undoubtedly looks more or less how the giant creature should. I like how the film was approached too. It seemed to be a lot more realistic and suspenseful in parts and Godzilla really does seem more like a walking natural disaster. I'll warn you now though, I was surprised by the rather short role of one of the characters had and it still annoys me that they made that decision. You'll see what I mean when you watch for yourself. As for the main protagonist, I thought Aaron Taylor Johnson put in a solid performance but he was certainly not the best character we encountered in this month's films. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">The sun has well and truly had his hat on of late and, as such, we've also found ourselves spending a lot more time outdoors. After hearing that Bee's Dad had taken the week off work, we decided to catch up with him and go for some yummy pub grub at one of our local pubs, <i>The Swan</i>. We've celebrated many an event as this pub and it's always one of the pubs we head to when the sun is shining and we want to get away from the seaside crowds. </span></center>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">After much deliberation, Bee opted for one of the day's specials: Tuna steak, pineapple salsa and fries. Although, she's not actually able to eat fruit and veg at the moment so the salsa was swiftly transferred to her Dad's plate! Whilst she liked the dish, and demolished the fries, the steak was a little too rare for her liking. Not one for the faint hearted. She's definitely going to make a note of it for next time! </span><br />

He got through it all with relative ease so that's always a good sign! </span></div>

We decided to get the garlic focaccia because we are both garlic fiends. It was bloody delightful. We probably could have demolished a loaf's worth. Garlic is <b>SO GOOD</b>!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">As you're in the middle of the countryside, it's never long before you hear the echo of hooves. This time we spotted four horses strolling along the lanes, looking rather content with life indeed. After polishing off the first course, Luke had his eye on the apple and cinnamon tart on the dessert board so he headed off to order it whilst Bee retrieved a cupcake </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">from the boot of the car.

Not before Dad discussed cider with the locals around the bar, of course. This little pub is pretty top secret, and it's only the locals that really venture to it, so we'll keep its whereabouts quiet <i>for now</i>. Here's a photograph of the outside though for all the sleuths out there ;) </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">We've been working on an exciting project lately that has lead us to indulge in long conversations about our favourite fictional characters, so we thought we'd share a few of them with you. It'd be really interesting, and extremely helpful, if you could share your favourite fictional characters from TV and film in the comments too! Thanks, guys. We're hoping to bring you lots of adventure posts this summer, so watch this space!</span><br />

He pretty much always says the wrong thing, apart from those rare occasions when he shows a great deal of compassion towards his colleagues. I don't know anyone that doesn't note Michael Scott as one of their favourite things about <i>The Office</i>. He just brings such an interesting dynamic to the show and to comedy, in general. If you haven't watched it, you really really should. </span></div>

Whilst I was a big Marie fan, Mum tells me that I always used to laugh hysterically at Georges whenever he popped up on screen, probably because he reminded me of my Grandad - who was equally as eccentric. I adore Georges, from his ridiculous glasses to his fragile dance moves. I still laugh whenever I think of this exchange between him and Edgar, the butler, who is trying to help him up the stairs after Georges refuses to use the 'bird cage' of an elevator: </span></div>

While I did enjoy Fringe, it did struggle to keep the quality flowing from the first season to the last. However, the one character who stuck with it, and who I loved from start to finish, was Walter Bishop. He has got to be one of the funniest and oddest characters I have seen in a TV series and I find I just can't stop smiling when he's on screen, even if he does have some nasty skeletons in his closet.</span></div>

While Donna Paulsen and Louis Litt get honorable mentions, Harvey Specter, played by Gabriel Macht, wins it for me. He's practically Bruce Wayne...if he decided to take another path in the realm of justice. </span></div>

There's not too much explaining to do here really as John McClane is one of the most iconic action heroes of the 20th century. Saying that, I really wish they hadn't dragged him into this century. I think Die Hard 5 was the only film that made me cry last year...</span></div>

Bee and I just finished watching the latest season of The Walking Dead, which was awesome by the way, and the episodes following Daryl were the best. He's one of the characters I've grown to love as the seasons have gone on because you can see just how much his character has developed from his introduction in the first season. </span></span></span><br />

I really enjoyed how the film was done stylistically, and I think the actors were absolutely brilliant in their roles. It was as horrifying as the book and I think that's important to note because I was a little worried that they'd tone it down a lot for a younger audience or try and overly romanticize it all. The soundtrack was also pretty good. Whilst some things had been changed for the screen, I did respect the majority of the </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">creative decisions that were made. Obviously, you don't really get the scope and character development that you do with the book but, overall, I really enjoyed this film. A pretty faithful adaptation of a seriously impressive YA novel. Pick up the book and then enjoy the film if I were you. </span></div>

In fact, it couldn't be further away from such noble deeds. It follows the life of a brilliantly cast, and acted, silver-miner-turned-oil-man and his journey from the end of the 19th Century into the 20th. The clash between business and religion is a particularly interesting part of the film but it is Daniel Day Lewis who will keep you fascinated from start to finish. </span></span></div>

I was absolutely enthralled by this film, and I honestly haven't stopped thinking about it since! I found everything about it fascinating, from the picture perfect cinematography to the flawless soundtrack. It's based on Homer's <i>Odyssey </i>and it was really intriguing to see how they adapted the tale and applied it to a completely different setting and era. In my opinion, they completely pulled it off. This film deals with some dark topics but it's really really good. Watch it now and attempt to tell me otherwise! My favourite Coen Brothers watch of the month. </span></div>

Whilst nowhere near as snappy as their latest offerings, I quite liked <i>Raising Arizona</i>. Very young Nicholas Cage was a particular highlight - I know, who knew?! This is the sort of film you pop on on a lazy Sunday and come away not necessarily singing its praises but admitting that it was a 'good' watch, nonetheless. </span></div>

Their chemistry on screen is absolutely stunning and, when I think about it, all of the actors involved put in really strong performances here. Garfield, for me, is 100x better than McGuire when it comes to his interpretation of Spider-Man's sense of humour and underlying sarcasm, and I think it really envelopes you in. Yes, the film does get a little gimmicky at times but I think that's what I love about Spider-Man himself. He knows it's all a little ridiculous but he enjoys it. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">It's definitely a must-see for all those who have a soft spot for superhero movies and not just because of the stunning visual effects and action scenes. It's definitely a film that will leave you with a lot to think about afterwards though...I'm still struggling to process it all, if I'm perfectly honest. </span><br />

Don't get me wrong, I certainly liked this film and, like Bee said above, Garfield's Spider-Man is awesome. I just felt it struggled to be its own film at times, and I was surprised how attached it was to the first film. It kind of felt like a hangover from the previous film in parts and its own story kind of suffered for that. I am still waiting for a villain to take this reboot by the scruff of the neck, and maybe we see one in the making towards the end of this film...</span></span><br />

I liked all four of the main characters as they all contributed in their own way and created what I feel is a decent comedy film. </span></span><br />

I'd heard so much about the TV adaptation so I approached this film with quite high expectations. Honestly, I wasn't bowled over by it. It was 'good'. It was 'okay'. Steve Buscemi, as ever, put in a good performance but I think the pacing was a little off. It wasn't really what you'd expect from something that calls itself a thriller, really. The concept was really interesting but the film just didn't wow me like I was hoping it would. You can definitely see just how much the Coen Brothers have progressed over the years! I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for the impending adaptation though. </span><br />

I didn't find any of the characters to be particularly interesting, with Steve Buscemi's performance the only one that stood out for me. I just felt the film never really developed into anything thrilling and there was no real pace to the film. Maybe it's one of those films I could learn to appreciate more on a second viewing, but I don't think that will come by any time soon. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">If you've been with us for a few months now, you'll remember that back in January we underwent a <a href="http://finerthingsclubblog.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/5-charity-shop-challenge-gift-edition.html" target="_blank">£5 charity shop challenge</a> to buy gifts for one another. As a result, Luke managed to track down a pretty little jewellery box that was in need of a bit of TLC and we declared we'd refurbish it together. Not ones to go back on our word, here we are re-furbing the little beauty and giving it a new lease of life! </span><br />

Some brilliant, some a little terrible!

This film was a big disappointment for me, as I felt it could have been so much more! There are such interesting ideas and settings hovering around in the background but they never really break into the film and, as a result, nothing really happens. It really is a shame that the most interesting part of <i>Ender's Game,</i> in my opinion, takes place in the last ten minutes. I suppose it doesn't help either that it's difficult to actually care about any of the characters. The script feels very weak perched on top of what could have been an awesome and somewhat unique sci-fi setting, and sadly the acting just wasn't good enough to draw me in. So yeah, I look up at the poster and gaze at all that fascinating stuff in the background and then I see Harrison Ford's face, as lovely as it is, replicating the exact expression I had at the end of this film. </span></span><br />

However, I think there were too many songs in <i>Frozen</i>. Whilst they were heartfelt, I didn't think the score was particularly strong compared to other Disney / Pixar films. The pacing was another thing that failed to impress me. I was expecting some sort of epic quest full of fun and adventure but I don't think it delivered. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">I did, however, like the comedic moments throughout the film, notably from Oaken in his little cabin and Sven the reindeer. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">I'm a sucker for funny animals a la Maximus from <i>Tangled.</i> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">Whilst I thought this film was visually stunning, I don't think it was anywhere near as good as my top two Disney princess favourites <i>Brave</i> and <i>Tangled</i>. It's still definitely worth a watch though, and I'm sure young Disney fans will be head over heels for it. </span><br />

Maybe I'm just a sad old Scrooge but it just seemed like they were cramming them in whenever and wherever. Songs aside though, I liked this film. The animation was awesome, the voice acting was strong and I loved Sven the reindeer. He reminded me of my dog, Woody. Admittedly, this tale doesn't really see any of the characters go very far on their adventure and the plot could be a little less conventional but hey, this is a film for kids too so I think it strikes a good balance of keeping everyone happy. </span></span><br />

I won't lie, I watched this film mainly for its actors - Jenna Fischer and Chris Messina - and honestly they were the only okay thing about this movie. It was a throwaway film, attempting to be an indie romance but falling short of the mark due to its weird pacing, empty plot and poor dialogue. Give this one a miss. </span></span></span><br />

However, it wasn't anywhere near as sharp as the book and the plot was a little empty as a result.

The acting in both main and supporting roles is really as good as it gets and is largely why you get drawn in. Christian Bale's performance for me was the highlight, in fact, I'm convinced he is indeed a conman disguised as an actor. I believe this film is partly based on truths from somewhere in history too which always makes me a little more intrigued too. <i>American Hustle</i> is a brilliant film and if it wasn't for <i>12 Years a Slave</i> I think it would have been the best film I've seen this year. </span></span><br />

Sue me! The plot and the dialogue could have been stronger but the acting and cinematography were both pretty good.

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">Luke gifted me this little graphic comic after I spotted it on <a href="http://www.nobrow.net/4856" target="_blank">Nobrow</a> and I absolutely fell in love with it. I think the concept is absolutely brilliant, and it lends itself so well to its graphic form. Whilst this comic is quite small, it certainly packs a punch story-wise as it evolves into a heartwarming tale over the space of a few pages. The art style is also ridiculously beautiful. I mean, just look at those colours! The perfect comic to ease you in nicely, and a beautiful addition to any bookcase. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="color: #5f5f5f;">Bee and I have covered a lot of stories that take place in TV series', in films and on paper but another story-driven medium that frequently gets overlooked is that of video games. Video gaming, for a while now, has had to weather the many stigmas and stereotypes slapped on it by various parts of the media and individuals. Whilst it's certainly no angel, as I've seen and played some terrible games, there's no doubt that there are some truly great games out there telling some really awesome stories. So I've decided to share some of my favourite story driven video games with you and, dare I say it, some of them come mightily close to the quality you might expect to find bound in a book or before your eyes at the cinema! My aim here is to look at the dynamics of the various tales, and to look at what storytelling in video games offers that books and films may not. </span><span style="color: purple;"><b>Please note:</b> </span><span style="color: #5f5f5f;">these are in no particular order. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">Twenty years after a pandemic radically transformed known civilisation, infected humans run amuck and survivors kill one another for sustenance and weapons-literally whatever they can get their hands on. Joel, a salty survivor, is hired to smuggle a fourteen-year-old girl, Ellie, out of a rough military quarantine, but what begins as a simple job quickly turns into a brutal journey across the country.</i></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">This is simply one of the best video games I've ever played and a lot of that is down to how well written the story is, as well as its pacing and its characters. I actually think <i>The Walking Dead, </i>although I do like the series, could learn a lot from this game and, saying that, I also think most films dealing with similar material could too. Once I was a few hours into <i>The Last of Us, </i>I started having to remind myself that I was actually playing a video game. I don't know how Naughty Dog, the team behind the game, managed to make me feel as though I was sitting down ready to watch, or in this case play, another episode of an enthralling TV series every time I loaded a saved game! I can't praise this game enough with the dynamics between the main characters really shining through alongside the strong script and stellar voice acting. It's no surprise then that this game recently took the gaming equivalent of the BAFTA's by storm, winning many accolades as well as Best Game. I would say<i> The Last of Us</i> is a real benchmark for storytelling in video games as it really demonstrates how far the medium has come and how far it can go in the future. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">Initially conceived as a floating symbol of American ideals at a time when the United States was emerging as a world power, Columbia is sent to distant shores with great fanfare by a captivated public. What begins as a fresh new endeavor of hope turns drastically wrong as the city soon disappears into the clouds to whereabouts unknown. The player takes on the role of former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, sent to the lost city to rescue Elizabeth, a young lady imprisoned there since her childhood. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px;"> </span></i></div>

It's more about its scope and the wonder that is Columbia, a floating city among the clouds. I like the fact that you are able to explore the city yourself, although admittedly that exploration is limited. I think that's one of the main things that this game conveys well, the way in which video games afford you the ability of experiencing a story in a different way. Not only do you get to experience the freedom of imagination that novels allow you, you also have the </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">visual and audio reinforcements that film provides to push the story further still. Some of the very best video games can combine these two worlds and </span>Bioshock Infinite<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"> is certainly one of them. <i> </i></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">2004 was the year that I really started to appreciate storytelling within video games, and since then I have always looked out for games with a good story to tell. I see Half-Life 2 as the turning point in modern video gaming and I would say that it still beats a lot of the games out today in so many ways, particularly in its storytelling. It was the first game I think I played where I began to care about the characters and story, like I would in a good film or book. The way the game isn't broken up into separate 'levels', instead played as one ongoing story, is one of those small elements that goes a long way (and to be fair it was something Half-Life did well too way back in 1998!). The whole game feels well...whole and neatly bound together like a book. I also like how you play a silent protagonist, like many other games, it lets you create your own thoughts and judgements, in place of any predetermined ones, which is again something you would find yourself doing when reading a book. To put it simply, Half-Life 2 took the big step with regards to storytelling in video games and it's a game that a lot of other game developers can still learn a trick or two from today.<i> </i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">This was a tricky one to include, not because it isn't an awesome example of storytelling in video games but because of that number 3 sitting on the end. Quite simply to truly appreciate the game and its accompanying story you really do have to play the first two first but, by doing so, it only aids the things you experience at the end of the trilogy. I guess <i>Mass Effect 3</i> represents the epic action blockbuster you would normally find yourself sat down watching with no controller in sight. That was the main element that stuck with me, it felt like I was right in the middle of one of those films but with a certain level of freedom to choose how it would all pan out. A flexible and immersive story that you don't get when you go to the cinema, well not at any of the ones I've been to anyway! It's also worth noting that, again, well crafted characters can go a long way in not just making a good story but also one you care about, especially when you have the power to choose how it ends. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;">Of all the main protagonists in the games I've mentioned so far, I think this game offers the most interesting one. Unlike the 3 that sits at the end of the previous game above, the one that is present here is slightly misleading. It's the beginning of a story regarding a different character to the previous games in the franchise. Again, it's a game largely revolving around interesting characters, yet I also love how it takes real life historical events and uses fiction to twist them in interesting ways. This is nothing new of course but it's done well and in a bizarrely fascinating way. There is no denying that sometimes you can stumble upon really weird and odd elements to the game's narrative but, saying that, it knows its a game and it doesn't pretend not to be one and I love that. It offers a unique storytelling experience very much in the skin of a video game but I think it's definitely an acquired taste. A game you'll love or hate, depending on how seriously you take it. </span></div>

We've all been there before, it's announced that the rights to your favourite book have been sold and its big screen graduation is imminent. You sit for months, albeit impatiently, praying that they've done your favourite characters justice and praying that they've left in your favourite piece of dialogue. Flash forward a year or so to the fateful release day. You storm into your local cinema and locate your screen, with a bag bursting with popcorn and sweets, full of hope and excitement. However, you haven't even met the bottom of your popcorn box before it's made blatantly obvious that your favourite book, that book you couldn't put down and told everyone to read but knew they wouldn't because they'd 'rather just watch the film when it comes out instead', has been butchered. You cry for months to non-readers, swearing on your cat's life that the book is so much better and that they would see if they only gave it a chance. However, it's too late. No one is going to let you recommend a film to them ever again, let alone read that book that you hold so dear. </div>

Seriously. It's one of my favourite reads, ever. It was ridiculously funny. It was dark. It was clever. It was really refreshing. Honestly, I hadn't laughed out loud at a book like that before and I haven't since. Oliver is an absolutely fantastic protagonist, and he frequently takes the story to places you didn't think it would go. Dunthorne's prose is also pretty much spot on throughout. The film, however, was just okay. There's no denying that it is shot beautifully because </span><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;">it really bloody is</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;">. It's like a hipster's wet dream with a liquid gold soundtrack to boot, and I'll be generous and give it a few points because it did tinker with the one thing that I didn't quite like in the book. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;">However, for me, it just felt empty. I think Craig Roberts did a good job when it came to playing Tate, but I much preferred his character on the page. The film honed in on Oliver's relationship with Jordanna when it should have been exploring relationships as a whole, whether it's the relationship between Tate's parents or the relationship between Oliver and his <i>coming of age</i>, and all the hilarious observations that come with it. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;">I wouldn't say don't watch the film but I would say read the book first because, in my opinion, it's a million times better. </span><br />

Dick's classic sci-fi novel, and <i>Blade Runner</i> source material, <i>Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?</i> Admittedly, I hadn't seen the film in a few years, but I'm sure I appreciated a lot of the elements more this time around. When you're reading the book, </span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">you naturally look out for key characters, key plot lines and settings and, as a result, I found myself taking in a lot more of the film as I looked out for these things. I love Ridley Scott's interpretation as it's really fascinating and really weird, but I think it's done so well that you can easily separate the two and appreciate them as sci-fi classics in their own right. Don't get me wrong, there were a few things from the book that I would have liked to have made the cut such as the weird mood devices and the interest in, and difference between, artificial and real animals. Where's the electric sheep?! Aside from this though, I loved the film and I'll never get tired of seeing 1980's sci-fi interpretations of the future. Where's my flying car?! </span></div>

The book is my favourite Dahl because it's so fun and inventive, and the film also happens to be one of my favourite Anderson films too. </span></span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">Anderson's adaptation captures the charm of Dahl's classic but also gives it a new lease of life with the introduction of new characters, settings and situations. There's nothing that I don't like about it, from the fantastic voice acting to the perfect character development. A perfect book and a perfect film. I have nothing but good things to say about them both.</span></div>

However, whilst fleshing out the book, these additions also</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"> complemented the original ideas entirely. </span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">For example, there was one part of the film, concerning the tactics the farmers used to try and flush the foxes out of their den that I was sure I had read in the book, as it just seemed to fit in with Dahl's style so well. I also thought it was pretty awesome to have Clooney and Streep voicing Mr and Mrs Fox, and it was a masterstroke by Mr Anderson to add a curious opossum. I like the length of the book, it's one of the things that make it such an awesome children's tale, but I'm glad more was added to the film, turning it into a story that everyone in the family can enjoy. On a final note, I guess I just have to emphasize how awesome the animation is too, and how much I enjoyed the hilarious moments that <a href="http://youtu.be/rAOJJ15hHhk" target="_blank">remind you that you are watching wild animals</a>.</span></span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"><i>Frank Miller completely reinvents the legend of Batman in his saga of a near-future Gotham City gone to rot, ten years after the Dark Knight's retirement. Crime runs rampant in the streets, and the man who was Batman is still tortured by the memories of his parents' murders. As civil society crumbles, Bruce Wayne's long-surpressed vigilante side finally breaks free of its self-imposed shackles. </i></span></span></span></div>

One of my favourite graphic novels in my collection is <i>The Long Halloween, </i>and I also loved <i>Batman: Year One</i> too, so it only makes sense for me to move on to the <i>The Dark Knight Returns</i>. With it supposedly inspiring the upcoming <i>Batman vs. Superman</i> film, I've made sure its next on my 'to read' list and, thankfully, I've heard a lot of good things about it. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"><i>This Hugo Award-winning graphic novel chronicles the fall from grace of a group of superheroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the superhero is dissected as the heroes are stalked by an unknown assassin. </i></span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">The above is my brother's copy of <i>Watchmen</i> and, although I have been tempted to sneakily seize it for my own on many occasions, I've decided I'll get my own copy soon! As it rather smugly tells you in the top left hand corner of the graphic novel, it is one of Time magazines 100 best novels, and since so many other people heap praise on it I can't go wrong with this one right?! The first time I watched the film I didn't really like it, but then I watched it a second time and loved it because I learnt to appreciate it as a separate entity, away from the </span></span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;">more conventional superhero tales. I'm guessing this will be very much the same for the graphic novel, and it'll be nice to see it from a panels-on-paper perspective. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">We often find ourselves daydreaming about fictional characters and the awesome things that they get up to, and these daydreams often turn into long conversations about what we'd love to do if we were able to jump into the films / TV shows ourselves. We thought we'd compile a little list of the things we would like to do before we die with some of our favourite fictional characters...as unattainable as that is! This post is inspired by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/jessethereader" target="_blank">Jesse</a>, who created this tag with books in mind. We'd love to know what your list would include so leave your ideas in the comments below! </span><br />

That's not to say I don't like music because I really bloody do, and the 'music is my life' tagline graced my Bebo profile on many occasions. <i>Cringe. </i></span><span style="color: #5f5f5f; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">I just really don't like picking favourite 'things'.

<span style="color: #5f5f5f; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #5f5f5f; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">With all of this uncertainty, I thought I'd pick a few of my favourite tracks to share with you in the hope of creating a playlist full of Finer Songs that we can all enjoy to our heart's content. </span><span style="color: #5f5f5f; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">How does that sound? Leave one of your favourite songs in the comments below, along with why you love it so much and we'll get listening to them all. Here's track one on The Finer Things Club playlist, and funnily enough it also happens to be one of the best songs in the world...</span><br />

<span style="color: #5f5f5f; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #5f5f5f; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">I listen to this song nearly every single day but it still gives me chills down my spine every time I hear it. It's so easy to get drunk on Win's vocals, but I think it's the wall of sound that actually hits me hardest and, in turn, fills my heart with 300 different emotions in the best possible way.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #5f5f5f; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #5f5f5f; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">People argue about the meaning behind this song but, for me, it concerns </span><span style="color: #5f5f5f; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">a lot of things. It's about fear. It's about uncertainty. It's about love. It's about freedom. It's about hope and progression in adverse situations. An elegy of sorts, but one that is also obviously hopeful. The whole concept of keeping the car running for someone when they're so unsure is hugely comforting to me, and it's a song that I return to time and time again for that very reason. </span><br />

I also want to get some of my favourite albums on vinyl. I saw this LP player on <a href="http://miaouornever.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/022-my-blue-crosley.html#.UxHhnfl_u4g" target="_blank">Lily's blog</a> and thought it looked quite cute. Some people have said the sound isn't too loud but I've got a teeny tiny room so it'd probably be perfect, and I can always buy speakers for it in the future. </span></span></b></div>

I really want to read some more of Nabokov's works and I think I'd like to start with <i>Pale Fire</i> as it sounds fascinating. It's supposedly a '<i>darkly comic novel of suspense, literary idolatry, one-upmanship, and political intrigue</i>'. Ooh! Have you read it? Let me know what you thought of it in the comments, if so. </span><br />

The mightily interesting <i>The Wolf Among Us</i> video game by TellTale Games, which I have yet to play, was also inspired by it. So yeah, another graphic novel to my small but slowly evolving collection. </span></span></b></span></b></span></b></div>

The two (you can't get one without the other when it comes to these two surely?!) I plan to add to my collection next hail from one of my favourite fantasy creations, <i>Game of Thrones</i>. Eventually I'm hoping to build Marvel, DC and Walking Dead collections too, with my Funko Pop characters being physical representations of the digital TV and film collections that don't have any fancy box-art to acknowledge their existence.</span></span></b></span></b></span></b></div>

We have been watching quite a few different TV series this month, inspired by our <a href="http://finerthingsclubblog.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/10-tv-shows-we-need-to-see-tv.html">10 TV Shows We Need To See</a> post, so we haven't managed to watch too many movies. However, the ones we have got round to have been quite varied, so it should make for interesting reading. We hope! Comment below if you've watched these films and let us know what you thought of them!

We were idiots, clearly, because this film was superb. The cast was stellar, the plot was highly engaging and the dialogue was heartfelt. I was so impressed by Bradley Cooper.

However, as Luke watches so many films that I suggest, I thought I'd give it a chance. There was a lot of action, and impressive special effects. However, I just wasn't crazy about it. I really didn't like the way they portrayed Natalie Portman's character. She plays a highly intelligent scientist, yet she spends the films being defined by her love interest. I just found it really disappointing. I also think they could've done a bit more with the plot, because the setting does have potential. I do have to admit that the ending was pretty explosive, and I can see people really enjoying this film. I'd recommend it to fans of the superhero movies, but that's about it. </span><br />

It's a shame this film couldn't really build on that, every time it jumps back to Earth from Asgard my interest dropped. I'm really not a fan of Natalie Portman's character in this film, its a damsel-in-distress constraint that in my opinion was a hindrance to the film and the scope of its plot. I loved Asgard, its characters, setting and somewhat unique mix of sci-fi and Norse mythology, and I just wish it would have been the main or perhaps even sole focus. </span></span></span><br />

I just don't get them. They aren't enjoyable. They're confusing, and they don't make for interesting viewing. This was all gore and no substance, for me, so we switched it off. Watch it if you're intrigued, or like your films quiet and gorey, or have a niche interest in old men singing for no apparent reason. Terrible. </span><br />

I just couldn't watch it, and I hate not finishing films! I couldn't work out whether it was like watching raw footage of something that had only just finished filming, or a film that had been edited by a mad-man bent on removing almost all dialogue, possible character attachments and general plot direction. Only watch this film if you have to, or you are immortal and have all the time in the world to waste. </span><br />

Like Bee, I was also apprehensive about this film, but mainly because I just didn't think Zisman's transition from small scenes in the Jackass franchise to fully fledged feature film would go that well. My worries were gladly put aside, however, and I'm glad to say I liked this film. Like I mentioned earlier, it did make me laugh a lot at times and for the most part it kept a smile on my face. Like you'd expect it does err very close to certain soft spots in society but in the end I think it's done well and largely with the aim of making people laugh!</span></span></span><br />

I found it really fascinating to see the lives of the two kids in this film, helped by their impressive performances, living with the responsibilities of adults in comparison to the world I've been living in. It's all the little things that surround the main plot that made me really like this film and if you give it a chance they could be the very things that make you like it too.</span></span></span><br />

I think they're just beautifully done, and this was no exception. Whilst it's not my favourite Anderson, Murray was perfectly cast as Zissou and the supporting cast perfectly delivered the dialogue that was both pleasant and poignant. Also, it's got Jeff Goldblum in it. </span><br />

However, I think the voice acting could have been a lot better, and I would've appreciated a bit more adventure to really pull the film along. I'm also not sure just how much this film appropriated Inuit culture, either. That said, it's a relatively fun family friendly film for a quiet afternoon. </span><br />

Like Bee has mentioned, the voice work could have been better, especially for the main furry protagonist, but saying that I thought the supporting cast did well to pick things up at times (especially the mooses). I remember a lot more happening in this film so it was disappointing to see the adventure not really take off. Putting my bugbears aside though, I think it has a brilliant message, for kids and adults alike, on how to treat animals. </span></span></span><br />

It seemed like it was far more than just a film and after watching it for myself I feel I can safely say it is the best piece of cinema I have seen in a long time. Of all the films in our list, this is the only one I would say you really really should not let pass you by. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">As you've gathered, we watch a lot of films and television shows and, for us, that goes hand in hand with grazing. We usually end up buying the same sort of snacks week after week, so we've decided to do something a little different this week and take you lot along for the ride. We put on our gladrags and headed to Lidl, a supermarket that we rarely frequent, to test out some snacks from across the pond. Here's our haul...</span></span></div>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">Also known as cheap Orangina (without the bits)! It definitely rivaled the big name brands, such as Tango and Fanta, and we'd definitely get it again. Although, we don't really get why they decided to name it Freeway...little bit of an awkward one to offer to your grandparents or in-laws!!</span></span></span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">These were so yummy! The packaging was also pretty great, and they were the perfect treat size for those that like to show some restraint (hint: we don't!). We think these would make really good additions to treat jars or party bags too. The only thing that annoys us about them is that they come in a pack of 11...why 11?! Round it up to 12, god damnit! However, we'd definitely go back for these little bars of chocolately goodness. </span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">The posh chocolate! In our humble opinion, the combination of chocolate and cornflake is an inspired one. Creamy, yet crunchy, this bar was pretty irresistible. The packaging was really nice and simple and, as a result, we think it'd look really good in a hamper or alongside a bouquet of flowers for someone special. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">We'd definitely go back and try all of the other flavours. </span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">We liked the packaging but that's about it. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-small;"><b>They smelled and tasted like scented nappy bags</b></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">, not gunna lie. We didn't even know it was possible to capture that flavour in something, and then market it as edible. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">We wouldn't buy these again. Stick to MAOAM! </span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">Pringles cheaper, albeit a little dishier, brother. We preferred the texture of these compared to their crumbly counterpart, as we didn't find them as 'cardboardy' as Luke so beautifully put it. Compared to the price of Pringles these days, these are a really good option. We'd probably buy these again. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b style="background-color: white; color: #5f5f5f; font-family: '04b03', 'trebuchet ms'; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 14.359375px; text-align: justify; text-transform: uppercase;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></b></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">The packaging was pretty fun, with a princess on the outside and a castle imprinted on every biscuit inside. These weren't bad but they were very very dry. Don't attempt to eat them without dunking them in a cool glass of milk or a hefty mug of tea! The chocolate to biscuit ratio could have also been a bit better, but otherwise they weren't bad at all. You certainly don't need more than one or two at a time so they'll last you forever in a bit of tupperware. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b style="background-color: white; color: #5f5f5f; font-family: '04b03', 'trebuchet ms'; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 14.359375px; text-align: justify; text-transform: uppercase;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></b></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">These were like marshmallows on steroids. They were absolutely huge! Kids would probably kill for them. The chocolate was really thin and the marshmallow was nice and gooey, and those two factors admittedly did make them quite endearing. However, we would've preferred them if they were on a biscuit base, as opposed to a wafer base. Bee couldn't get through a whole one, and we both found them a bit too sickly for our tastes. However, if you're a big marshmallow fan, you should probably give them a go because of the novelty value.</span></center>
