Or maybe you just didn't figure out what it was.

Date: Tuesday 11th April
Film: Take This Waltz (2011)
Director: Sarah Polley
Starring: Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, Luke Kirby and Sarah Silverman
Running time: 01 hour, 56 minutes
Rating: 3/10

I wanted to love this. I really did. It stars actors I adore, it is written and directed by someone I admire, I was fascinated by the story. I went in full of optimism.

I'm sad to say, I did not like it at all.

I did not like any of the characters, half of whom felt under explored and the other half were just unpleasant. I also felt like the ending wasn't a great fit.

I don't want this to become a bash on this film. I'm sure other people have enjoyed it, it just didn't mesh for me.

You can't change your situation. The only thing that you can change is how you choose to deal with it

Film: 50/50 (2011)
Director: Jonathan Levine
Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen and Anna Kendrick
Running time: 01 hour, 40 minutes
Rating: 8.5/10

Considering the subject matter, 50/50 could have gone two ways - it could be a 'pulling on your heartstrings, sobbing your heart out, serious cancer' film or it could be a 'laugh at cancer with inappropriate jokes' film. Luckily enough, 50/50 manages to combine both of these to be a genuine, heartwarming, funny, touching film about those dealing with cancer.

Joseph Gordon-Leviit is wonderful (I wouldn't expect anything less), as a man dealing with illness and the effect it has on his life, relationships and outlook on the world around him. Supported by Rogen, managing to be appropriately funny, and Anna Kendrick being sublime as usual, 50/50 is a movie that could have been a disaster in any other hands but excels, for me.

It manages that difficult task of being both funny and sad. As soon as you feel yourself getting to close to a sob they manage to drop a line that makes you laugh out loud.

I have a real soft spot for this film.

Are you the lady who doesn't realize she's pregnant until she's sitting on the toilet and the kid pops out?

Date: Sunday 30th December
Film: Knocked Up (2007)
Director: Judd Apatow
Starring: Katherine Heigl, Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann
Running Time: 02 hours, 09 minutes
Rating: 8/10

I am a massive fan of Judd Apatow and his gang of Merry Men, I think it's because of my obsession with Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared, and Knocked Up is probably my favourite of their film collaborations.

This is a film that isn't really about the leads, or even the plot, it's about the little interactions with the supporting cast. Yes, the jokes are immature, but that doesn't stop them from being funny. Incredibly funny.

No matter how many times I watch this, I will always laugh out loud.
