Mr. Church reunites the Expendables for what should be an easy paycheck,
but when one of their men is murdered on the job, their quest for
revenge puts them deep in enemy territory and up against an unexpected
threat.
With more action stars than you can shake a stick at. Just about everyone who had an action film out in the 90's is in this film!
The thing i liked about the first one, was that it doesn't take itself too seriously and neither does this one.I hate to think how many badies died in this film, seen as it was almost 2000 in the first, which tells you its not a film which you have to do a lot of thinking! Basically if your a badie you die!
If you want Gun fight, explosions, fist fights and witty banter then this is the film for you! 4/5 its does exactly what it says on the tin!

Keith Lemon : The Film
Following Keith Lemon from rags to riches, after he becomes an over night success with the Keith Lemon phone, Keith becomes a billionaire starts dating Kelly Brook and gets caught up in his own hype, leaving his girlfriend and life back in Leeds.
I love Celeb Juice, i wouldnt miss an episode. But like me your going to see this film because of that .. dont! its not like that at all, which was a let down for me! Its a toned down Keith and at parts the film becomes surreal and nonsensical.
Its full of celebrity cameos, i think just about every person who has been on Celebrity Juice is in the film, it was almost like they were trying to make up for the film. I dont know why Kelly Brook was the lead women in this film, i thought it would have made it better is Holly or Fearne were the lead.
I was disappointed that i didn't like this film, i was looking forward to it! thou on a lighter note my friend like it, but reading other reviews i think he is the only one.. It pains me to say this but i give this film 1/5. But i will be watching the new series of Celeb Juice...

Total Recall
A factory worker, Douglas Quaid, begins to suspect that he is a spy
after visiting Rekall - a company that provides its clients with
implanted fake memories of a life they would like to have led - goes
wrong and he finds himself on the run.
Another Hollywood remake of dare i say classic? I think the original one had some sort of cult status, it would be hard to find someone between the ages of 25-35 that hasn't seen this film (well in my house anyway!)
Colin Farrell plays Douglas Quaid (Arnie) and i think he plays the lead quite well to be honest, he plays the vulnerable card very well. Kate Beckinsale plays his wife, who was played by Sharon Stone. I'm not a fan of Kate, i think she is a weak actress, all you have to do is look at the Underworld films for that. Nor was i surprised to find that her husband was the director and maybe that's how she got the job... (just saying.. least when Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter work together, you know Helena can act!)
All in all i thought it was a good film for a 12a cert it could have been a lot worse, but it could also have been a lot better, it was never going to be like the original. Arnie was in his hay-day when that film was released and in the early 90's the action films were exactly that, action packed. I dare say we haven't seen the last of the Arnie remakes! 2.5/5

Bachelorette
Three childhood friends are asked to be bridesmaids at a wedding of a woman they used to ridicule back in high school.
I found it hard to connect to Regan the main character who is the maid of honor. But the two other bridesmaids Kate and Gena, were easier 'get'.
When i was telling my friend about this film, I described it as a comedy that forgot it was meant to be one half way through and turn too serious. Which really wrecked the film for me, i was expecting laughs and it did end up quite depressing. 2/5

Brave
Determined to make her own path in life, Princess Merida defies a custom
that brings chaos to her kingdom. After making a wish, Merida must rely on
her bravery and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse.
Watching all the trailers for this film, I was never quite sure what this film was about, apart from a Scottish girl with red hair.
Brave is another Disney film with a 'Girl Power' twist, which is a good thing. A girl who can do anything on her own and doesn't need a man to save her, which is a change from Snow White, where the hansom Prince saves the damsel in distress.
I really enjoyed the film, alot of films out at the moment i have thought were slow paced and got bored before things started to happen, but i can say this film kept me entertained all the way through, and I almost had a tear in my eye at the end! I would give this film 4/5!

Ted
As the result of a childhood wish, John Bennett's teddy bear, Ted, came
to life and has been by John's side ever since - a friendship that's
tested when Lori, John's girlfriend of four years, wants more from their
relationship.
If you love Family Guy, its safe to say you will love this film! its Seth MacFarlane at his best! Rude and crude humor is spread through the film.
It is incredibly funny and its has been along time since i have been in a comedy film that has had the whole cinema audience laughing all the way through! I dont know how many times i have said or someone has said to me 'the funniest parts are in the trailer' but trust be they aren't in this film as they would never be able to be broadcasted!
I'd class it as the funniest film this year! well worth a watch, you wont be disappointed! 4/5
