Argo (15) seen@ hackney picture house
This film was incredible and suspenseful because it is based on a true story of American civil servants trapped in turmoil in Iran. Ben Affleck played the main character Tony Mendez who is a CIA agent - his mission is to rescue the 6 missing US embassy personel.
When I was watching I was on the edge of my seat most of the time as the characters were in knife edge situations. I found the imagery amazing as it was pretty historically correct and I liked how they showed us the history of Persia (Iran) which was good because we had an insight into why the Iranians were revolting in the 1970's. This film was very interesting and an insight into world history.

The Sapphires (PG) seen @ cineworld west India quay
This film had a lovely story where four aboriginal girls perform at a talent show and they meet Dave who s played by Chris O'Dowd (IT crowd) saw them and liked there singing. They find a advert for Vietnam and it will pay $30 a day to perform for the troops. This film will make you surprise and suspenseful ans they are performing in a war zone. It made me sad , it made want to dance and it a great film for everyone. This film does contain slight racialism as it is 1968 in Australia the white people and the aboriginal people didn't really mix very well. But overall I recommend everyone to see this film it a great Friday night film.
