Film Event: Father's Day with Warner Bros.

With Father Day's right around the corner, Warner Bros. invited myself and my Dad along to their #WBFathersDay event for an evening quality family time and film. Here's a look at the evening...

You might be wondering what Fathers Day has to do with Warner Bros but if you're anything like me then film would have played a pretty big part of your childhood. I definitely have my parents and older siblings to thank for my interest and passion for film. For as far back as I can remember, we would (and still do) often go to the cinema or rent films and I remember it being such a treat growing up. I'm also thankful that my parents have such diverse tastes in movies that it really allowed me to explore all different genres. And so, when Warner Bros. got in touch and asked if I wanted to attend a special Father's Day screening at their iconic Holborn building, I was more than happy revisit their headquarters. My dad wasn't actually available on the evening of the event as he was too busy enjoying himself on a wonderful holiday but, thankfully, Jack decided to step in...

Having arrived at Warner Bros, we were greeted with drinks and some delicious nibbles before taking our seats for a screening of Creed (Ryan Coogler, 2015) - because what better way to celebrate Father's Day then with a screening of the ultimate daddy issues movie. For those of you who haven't seen Creed yet, it is a sequel the Rocky films that stands just as well on it's own. The narrative follows the former World Heavyweight Champion boxer, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) as he agrees to train and mentor Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan), the son of his late friend and former rival Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers).

Myself and Jack actually didn't get round to seeing it at the cinema despite it's Best Actor in a Supporting Role Oscar nomination last year. Being yet another Rocky movie, I wasn't sure if it was my sort of film but I honestly really enjoyed the film and glad we finally got a chance to see it. Having seen the movie and been awarded our jam-packed goodie bag, full of selection of DVDs to enjoy at home with the family, Jack and I stopped off at Wagamama for dinner before heading home.

Thanks so so much to Warner Bros. for this amazing selection of movies to enjoy with the family and for a fun-filled evening of film. How do you like to spend quality time with your family?
