Glasgow Film Festival

Matt Damon as you've never seen him before

Well as you all should know the Glasgow Film Festival is in full swing and runs until this Sunday - 26th of February. One of the highlights so far of the Festival has been We Bought a Zoo directed by the acclaimed Cameron Crowe - the man behind Almost Famous. 
We Bought a Zoo is an autobiographical story of a Benjamin Mee, a widower played by Hollywood superstar and mega-babe Matt Damon, who turns his young family's life upside down after making a slightly odd purchase: a zoo.
The film caused quite an emotional stir at the festival and even the toughest critic was moved to tears. However, do not be fooled into thinking that this film is just a tear-jerking sob story because you would be catastrophically wrong. It is a story of fun, hope, peace and inner strength. An STV News review of the film stated that;
"Essentially, We Bought a Zoo focuses on how new people and places can unexpectedly lead to rebirth and rejuvenation after the loss of a loved one."

A classic in the making if you ask me!
