We don’t know about the rest of you but with all the Christmas shopping, splurging on decorations and indulging in yummy festive food we haven’t had much cash to splash on a night out on London’s tiles. So last weekend we decided to have a movie marathon Friday night. Despite Valentina already having a pretty impressive DVD collection under her belt (6 shelves worth!) we thought we would try something new. We chose Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl’s summer ‘rom-action’ Killers and British dance flick Street Dance UK.
Both were surprisingly better than our expectations (which let’s face are not that high). Killers was actually really funny, a little bit far-fetched- but in a good Mr and Mrs Smith way- and cute without the cringing. But despite the fun we had watching Ashton Kutcher fight off baddies in a suitably tight tank top we must say that the winner goes to Street Dance UK. And here’s why……
It has all of the elements you expect for a dance film; the love twist,a series of battles, dodgey looking apartments, backstreet “cool” nightclubs, tough auditions and that classic combination of street dance and ballet entwined into one routine. But importantly all it hits all of these crucial elements actually really well in addition to featuring more outstanding dances than we have ever seen in a dance movie and not just at the end; one by Britain’s Got Talent Winner’s Diversity is partially memorable. Oh and the music is amazing too, we’ve already got the soundtrack and spent at least half a hour afterwards trying to learn the routines!
So yes it might be kinda lame to stay in on a Friday night, and yes it might be even lamer to watch a British dance film but you’ll be sorry if you miss this one- Trust us!
