Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As
MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no
matter how personal the cost.
Billed as the best ever Bond film, i'm not so sure to be honest! Live and Let Die still has it for me.
It has less gadgets and more action but its still a traditional Bond film, the plot is slightly far fetched but they generally are. Though i think they missed a trick not having Sean Connery doing a cameo in the film, when you'll see it you'll know where!
Javier Bardem plays the Bond villain very well, a slightly creepy, sinister deranged character. The scene with Bond its really quite funny, and i think they played well of each other!
The film is good and well worth a watch, i'll let you judge if its the best or not! 4/5

Frankenweenie
Young Victor conducts a science experiment to bring his beloved dog
Sparky back to life, only to face unintended, sometimes monstrous,
consequences.
Frankenstein for kids is the best way to describe this film with the Tim Burton twist. Frankenweenie is in black and white, which i wasnt aware off before i watched the film. This isnt a bad thing, it adds to the eeriness of the film.
Its a nice film apart from being a bit sad about Sparky the dog, the storyline is not too heavy, nor did i feel like it dragged and went on too long. Victor is a likeable character and you can engage with him, unlike a couple of films ive seen this year, when i didnt care what happened to the main character.
I dont really have anything bad to say about this film, its hard not to like it, you wont be disappointed! 4/5

Hotel Transylvania
Dracula, who operates a high-end resort away from the human world, goes
into overprotective mode when a boy discovers the resort and falls for
the count's teen-aged daughter.
I liked this film, but it wasnt as funny as i thought it would be nor did the plot enthrall you. You know what was going to happen, boy meets girl, dad hates boy...
Thou i liked the message the film had for children, Who is the real monster.. but i think that's as deep as the film goes. None of the voices really stood out, apart from Adam Sandler and Steve Busemi I couldnt really tell you who else voiced this film.
Id say this film was better than Madagascar but still fell slightly short of what it could have been. 3/5

Madagascar 3
Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman are still fighting to get home to their
beloved Big Apple. Their journey takes them through Europe where they
find the perfect cover: a traveling circus, which they reinvent -
Madagascar style.
I never really took to the first couple of films, i couldnt seem to connect it. Maybe i just couldn't get over the fact that a Lion, Zebra, Hippo and Giraffe were friends (yes i'm aware its a cartoon)and dont me started on the relationship between Gloria and Melman... Thou i do love Mort (the little guy who idolizes King Julian).
I did like the film, until the end were i thought it had come too far fetched, and i thought this is just getting silly. But then again it is a kiddies film and I'm guessing they like that kinda thing. Don't get me wrong, i do love my animation films, I'm normally the first in line. But if they did a 4th i dont think i would bother seeing it. 2.5/5

Taken 2
In Istanbul, retired CIA operative Bryan Mills and his ex-wife are taken
hostage by the father of a kidnapper Mills killed while rescuing his
daughter.
If you've seen the first film, you know what this is going to be about, but if you haven't, it doesn't really matter you'll pick up the storyline its not that complicated!
When i was buying the ticket i noticed it was a 12a, which did make me sigh slightly but i suppose they did that to appeal to the masses. Basically there is still loads of killing just without the blood.
Guns and explosions are through out the film, thou no one in authority seems to question why there are a load grenades going off around Istanbul. The only thing that really annoyed me about this film was that the gun Neeson is using never seems to run out of bullets, even though he used all the way though the film!
If you liked the first one, then you will like this one a solid 3/5.

Resident Evil: Retribution
Alice fights alongside a resistance movement in the continuing battle against the Umbrella Corporation and the undead.
They way i described this film to my friend was ' I just wasted 85 minutes of my life, with emphasis on wasted' If you've seen the other films then, there's no point seeing this one. Its almost as if they went, shall we just condense the other films into one? I think its fair to say this falls into the category of pointless squeals.
If you've seen a Norwegian film called 'Dead Snow' which features zombie Nazi's on a killing rampage, they seem to make an appearance in this film, though i think they were meant to be Russian Zombies with guns which can drive....
All and all i thought this was a pointless film but i dont think it will be the last in the franchise (sadly) 1/5

ParaNorman
A boy who is misunderstood by everyone must takes on ghosts, zombies and grown-ups to save his town from a centuries-old curse.
It is quite a dark film for a kiddies film, the only other horror children's film i have seen that was quite as eerie was Monster House. But all i can say is if you are taking kids stick around till the end as i doubt they will be scared by the end.
It is made with stop-motion animation (like Wallace and Gromit.) which i can only imagine takes a lot of dedication to move figures millimeters at a time to make a 90 minutes film. Visually it was great and you couldn't tell that it wasn't animation.
Like most animations there are jokes for kids and for adults, i really enjoyed this film, i was going to pass on it, but i saw clips and an interview with the creators on BBC Breakfast and thought i might as well go see it, and i'm glad i did! A strong 4/5.

Dredd
In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act
as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down
a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO.
I never saw the original one with Sly, but according to friend it was quite a camp film, this is not! Its a 18 cert and i can see why, its pretty graphic shot in the style of '300' and 'Spartacus'
Karl Urban plays Dredd, i've never heard of before but he played the character well, you only ever see his mouth because he has his helmet on, so some people may have struggled to pull it off.
Lena Heady plays the badie 'Ma-ma' i thought it hard to believe that she was a ruthless gang leader that it may have needed a stronger actress, but then it would be hard to say who could replace her...
I saw the 3d version, apart from animation i dont see the point of 3d films and this was one of them, i dont see the benefit that 3d brought to the film apart from making the gun battles more graphic, if thats what the director was going for it worked!
I really enjoyed the film, more than i thought i would give it 4/5! Its a film that doesnt take itself too seriously and its full of blood, guts and gore!

The Expendables 2
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

The Dark Knight Rises
Eight years on, a new terrorist leader, Bane, overwhelms Gotham's
finest, and the Dark Knight resurfaces to protect a city that has
branded him an enemy.
Like most people i was really looking forward to seeing this film, i thought the Dark Knight was amazing and Heath Ledger's Joker was fantastic, so i only had high hopes for this film.
But to be honest i was very disappointed, I thought the first hour and a half of the film could have been condensed into 20/30 minutes as by the time the action happened i was nearly half asleep.
Batman's Foe in this film is Bane and his voice grated on me, it sounded like he was a combination of South African, Australian and a bad impression of a Bond villain.
The Bat-Pod ( Batman's Motorbike) seemed to be the slowest motorbike you'll ever see on a film and one point i thought a moped would have been able to over take it!
I didnt think the fight scenes were all that either, If you were going to compare it to the Marvel films that have been out in the last couple of years, it doesn't compare!
Id suggest go see Spider-man instead or even Ice Age. I'll only give it 2/5 i was really hoping it was going to be one of the most epic films of the year.. but it wasnt!

The Lorax
A 12-year-old boy searches for the one thing that will enable him to win
the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover
the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to
protect his world.
The Film is based on the book by Dr Seuss, which unfortunately i have not read. The only Dr Seuss book i have read is If I Ran a Circus which still remains mine and my siblings (some of which are in the mid 30's) favorite book. He is an amazing wordsmith the way the he writes the stories and the rhythms flow, creating wacky characters and mystical worlds.
To me Pipsqueak a little bear steals the show purely for the reason he is cute, comical and always seems to get in to trouble. Thou he doesnt speak its his facial features that win you over.
Its classed as a comedy, i wouldnt say i laughed a whole lot but i did thoroughly enjoy it! It would be hard to say which film to see between Ice Age 4 or this, id say this is ahead but just by a whisker! 4/5

Ice Age 4 Continental Drift
Manny, Diego, and Sid embark upon another adventure after their
continent is set adrift. Using an iceberg as a ship, they encounter sea
creatures and battle pirates as they explore a new world.
I wasnt a big fan of the third one which had the dinosaurs in, a part of me thought it was a pointless story. So i went into this one with baited breath. As me and my friend were buying the tickets, the lady serving us said that she thought it was really funny as she'd seen it yesterday. And she was right, it was!
So the continents begin to separate because of scratch and his acorn.The guys get separated on an iceberg and float off into the new world. The film follows their journey trying to get back to Ellie and Peaches (the daughter).
Its a funny film which i would recommend seeing, especially if you have kids or if your like me a big one! a solid 4/5

The Amazing Spider-Man
Peter Parker finds a clue that might help him understand why his parents
disappeared when he was young. His path puts him on a collision course
with Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner.
This version of Spider Man is biased more on the comics than the last Spider Man movies which stared Toby Maguire.
I have to say i enjoyed this new franchise more than the last, not that i have read the comics but i enjoyed the storyline more. I found that this Peter Parker was more likeable and not 'wo is me' as the last. I could see this Spider Man linking up with The Avengers, as this character seemed to have the personality that would work well with Tony Stark, with the sarcastic humor and comments made by Peter during the fight scenes.
The special effects were more realistic for the action sequences than the other films too, but i suppose that is because technology has moved on since then.
I really enjoyed this film and hopefully they will make another, I would give this film 4/5 well worth a watch!

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, discovers
vampires are planning to take over the United States. He makes it his
mission to eliminate them.
To cut a long story short, the film goes through the major events of Abraham Lincoln's life, from a young boy to the end of his life, each major event in his life was at the doing of vampires.
After a chance meeting at a pub Abraham is recruited by Henry Sturgess to become a vampire slayer, he moves town and begins to slay vampires, which starts to get himself noticed by the ruler of the vampires, who obviously wants to take over America.
The final battle is staged at the Battle of Gettysburg, can Abraham and his friends defeat the army of vampires and save America?
I enjoyed the film, it was better than i thought it would be! A part of me thought it might be a cheesy horror, but it wasnt if you take out the fact its Abraham Lincoln who's the Vampire slayer, it does stand up as as Vampire film on its own merit. Though these Vampires can go out in day light which annoys me, but at these they aren't glittery! 3/5! Well worth a watch!

Prometheus
A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth,
leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There,
they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human
race.
Its been deemed the 'Prequal' to Aliens, but i found it raised more questions than it answered. The whole journey home myself and my friend were trying to figure it out. If you refer to all the other films including the Predator films, it doesn't quite make sense.
If we take the film on its own merit, it was enjoyable though predicable in parts. A rich business man funds a trip two years away from earth for an explorer who is searching for god, but what are his motives?
Id go watch this film if your a fan of Science Fiction not cause your a die hard fan of Alien! 3/5
Its been deemed the 'Prequal' to Aliens, but i found it raised more questions than it answered. The whole journey home myself and my friend were trying to figure it out. If you refer to all the other films including the Predator films, it doesn't quite make sense.
