Yep, it's me!

I was going to go to the cinema last night a watch Paranormal Activity on my own, but then I got too scared and stayed in to watch Valkyrie! So I'll talk about that instead

Plot: Set in World War II, this film tells the story of a group of germans, both soldiers and politicians, that stand against Hitler's regime and plan to overthrow him.

It has been made very well. Tom Cruise is very good as the mastermind of the latest attempt to gain control over Germany; Operation Valkyrie. It shows us that not every German was behind Hitler and there were in fact 15 attempts to assasignate him by the Germans alone! I don't want to say anymore as I will give too much away, but all in all it is a good film to see if you like war films.

Going back to things on at the cinema, I'm also going to talk about The Men Who Stare at Goats! I can't really describe the plot as it is so strange even I get confused! Basically a small-town reporter goes to the middle east to make it big and ends up learning about a secret section of the US military that tried to create psychic spies! He ends up on a wild adventure with one of their 'Jedi Warriors' as he tries to get to the bottom of this extraordinary story! Everyone told me not to go and see the film because they thought it sounded strange, but once I heard it was based on actual events, I thought, why not! It turned out to be quite amusing and, even though it is completely 'out there', I wanted to know what happened next! In my opinion, if you have an open mind and don't mind the bizarre, then you should go and see it

lol! Cool video!

I'll do a review on the Dark Knight then

I loved Batman Begins and was really looking forward to the Dark Knight's release. It turned out to be just as thrilling, action-packed, and exciting, if not more so! It grips you the whole way through, though my one critisism is that is felt a little too long. The storyline felt as though it had three parts, the first part being the longest.

Plot: Batman once again my protect Gotham City from the criminals that lruk in the darkness. Now, there is a new mastermind criminal in town; The Joker! He is gathering the criminals and banding them together to get rid of their nemesis, Batman. Can Batman defend the city, protect his identity, and stops those he is closest to getting hurt?

The acting in this film is brilliant, as are all the special effects. I would recommend it to anyone who loves action movies!

Until next time

Hi All!

Ready for my next review?

I recently went to see The Stepfather. I hadn't seen a single trailer for it, no advertising, nothing. So I thought, this is going to be interesting! I went into the screen to find only 2 other people sat in there. By the time the trailers had finished, there were a total of 11 people in the screen, including me! Now, this film only came out on Friday, do a lack of viewers did not look promising.

However! It turned out to be pretty good!

Plot: A boy comes back from military school to find his newly divorced mum engaged to a new man she barely knows. He soon begins to believe this man, his soon-to-be stepfather, is a notorious murderer on America's Most Wanted list. Can he convince anyone else in time? Or is he just being paranoid?

Now, I'm not giving anything away when I tell you the stepfather is a killer. They make that very very apparent in the first scene. I thought they might at least leave us guessing. The film is basically just like Disturbia, which I think is a brilliant suspenseful thriller, but it felt like its little sister. Seeing as you know he's a murderer from the start, it loses as bit of its suspense, but it is still pretty good. If anyone else out there liked Disturbia, then you should like this film, so long as you don't expect it to be as good as it! I also think they could have done more with it, but it still keeps you hooked for the duration of the film.

Until next time

Hi All!

Today's film of choice is New Moon, simply because I am going to see it for a third time tonight!

Plot: In the sequal to Twilight, Bella and Edward's relationship is going strong until an accident at the Cullen's house, invloving one drop of rather dangerous blood, causes Edward to rethink the whole situation. Desperate to protect Bella, Edward chooses to leave with his family and Bella is left completely alone. After months of depression, she finally finds solice in the company of old friend Jacob Black. But will this new relationship end up giving her the same pain as when Edward left? And what big secret is hanging over the Reservation? Without Edward's protection, is Bella really safe?

I think this film was a very good sequal. Unfortunately, the first time I saw it I had my annoying boyfriend talking to me the whole way through, so the film did not grip me as much as the first. Twilight had my breath caught in my chest it was so good! So that first viewing disapointed me somewhat. However, I went a second time, for which I am very glad for. Though the storyline spins off in a completely new direction, it adds more excitement to the already fantastic plot! It is seriously a must see! (though make sure you have watched Twilight first, preferably on as big a screen as you can manage!)

Until next time…

Hi All!

Last night I finally went to see the highly acclaimed Avatar!

Plot: Set in the future, a private company hiring ex-military have set up a base on the planet Pandora with the intension of mining for a rare, expensive mineral. The Nabi, native to the planet, have their home on the richest source of this mineral and the scientists with the company are trying to negotiate with the natives the terms of their removal from the location. Can they do this before the military step in and move them by force? To gain the Nabi's trust, the scientists have developed Avatars, creatures grown that look like the Nabi and can have a human's consciousness uploaded into it in order to control it. Will the Avatars be able to gain the Nabi's trust?

This film was actually, surprisingly good! I really enjoyed it. It has the right balance of action, love, and comedy. I would recommend the film to anyone to watch. I think the 3D aspect of it also worked well. It is a long film, but I didn't even notice, which is very good! Definitely a must see!

Until next time…

Hi All!

Today's film is It's Complicated.

Plot: This comedy is about a divorced couple that, ten years after their split, have an affair. The ex-wife is suddenly the other woman as her ex-hisband cheats with her on his current, young, gorgeous wife! Can their affair last? Or is a new man who appears on the scene enough competition to push the ex-husband to one side?

The trailers for this looked really good. I know it has been nominated for lots of awards so was really looking forward to watching it. To be honest, it wasn't as funny as it looked like it would be, but it was still good. If you like a more serious comedy, such as P.S. I love you, then you will enjoy this film. The acting is brilliant and the funny parts are very funny. I still think it's worth a watch.

Untill next time…
