The Lego Movie

My coffee addiction has reached a new height (wonder how many times you've read that now.) The aforementioned chocolate coffee beans have lead me once again into the realms of caffeine dependency. Just when I broke out of it a week ago! Getting very affordable vanilla coffee syrup didn't help either, now my iced coffees taste far too good to resist!

Only one thing to do when your feeling obnoxious and hyper from too much caffeine! Watch a loud and silly kids film: The Lego Movie! Now, explaining why this film went from good to very good would spoil a few things about the plot - which is, by design, very silly. The first hour of this film has a smattering of set pieces and topical parodies which are entertaining enough to get you through the story. In the final moments however, the film pulls a massive sucker punch which almost, almost pushes things a little bit too far but maturely pulls back to reveal the emotional core of the movie. A real 'Ah-Ha' moment that works in tandem with a very human nostalgia for their love and understanding for Lego.
