Director: James Griffiths
Year: 2014
Stars: Nick Frost, Rashida Jones, Chris O'Dowd
I watched this the day before my daughter was born, so forgive me if I didn't pay full attention or can't remember the details (especially as I'm writing this a full two months later).
Cuban Fury tells the story of Bruce Garrett (Frost), a man who used to be a champion salsa dancer as a child but gave it all up due to a bullying incident. Now in his thirties, he's overweight and thinks his new boss, Julia (Jones) is out of his league. Can you guess where this is going? Yep, to a salsa dance floor.
It's not a complicated movie, and I have to admit it didn't have my full attention, but it was quite an enjoyable easy watch. Not a bad choice if you want something easy-going.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Watching films is one of my favourite hobbies. Often the films I watch aren't the biggest, or newest, films of the moment - but smaller independent movies, things on late night TV, or simply films I missed first time around. Not to say that the latest cinema releases don't get a look-in: my tastes are pretty diverse and I'll give almost any film a chance! This blog aims to reflect something of that diversity, reviewing as many of the films that I've watched since November 2008 as possible.

About Me
- Anna Lawson
- I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
