Highly entertaining Rapunzel rendition which I saw with my daughter.
Disney is churning out some good stuff as of late. This was another great singing and dancing affair which even my son enjoyed!
Very colourful and the theme of good v evil remains.
Voiceovers were excellent as was the animation. We saw it in 2D as 3D glasses are very fidgety!
Solid 8 from my daughter!

The Resident
Psychological thriller starring Hilary Swank who I rate ever since I saw her in Million Dollar Baby. This was a very tense and tout thriller.
I was gripped to my seat for the first half an hour, but after this, unfortunately I could see where the film was going - highly predictable.
Has some good scares, and some of the content is sickening.
Just hope to see Hilary with a better script next time!

Just Get With It
Quirky comedy here with 2 very loveable people - Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston.
I really enjoyed the film, it was very cute. I especially loved the kids in it too - they were the real stars in my opinion.
This was Adam Sandler back in good form after some very dodgy roles in the past few films he has been in.
Swimsuit Model Brooklyn Decker also plays quite a significant role here and came across quite real.
Some good laughs with a crazy cameo by Nicole Kidman too!
Score = 8

True Grit
Now this really was a really good movie. Jeff Bridges and the young girl were really good in it.
It wasn't really a typical western with cowboys and indians.
It was a remake of an old movie which I have not seen. For me, Haillee Steinfield was the star of the show. Really great, confident role she played here. Upcomng star, watchout!
If you can get past the deep south and the accent, you will love this movie.
Another solid score of 7.5

Hereafter
Another super film by heavyweight director, Clint Eastwood.
There are three intertwined stories which meet together right at the end. It is an interesting take on things, with the stories filmed in 3 different parts of the world. Gives the film an international edge with a third of it in french (with english subtitles).
It was quite emotional in parts too, and the british boy played a good role. Something different for Matt Damon also; role suited him.
Cannot understand why the critics panned it... I really enjoyed it.
Solid 8 from me!

La Haine
Shot beautifully in black and white, this movie dates back to 1995 - Vincent Cassell looks very young! It is in France and in French.
It is basically about hating the Police! The character development is portrayed very well here. All the different friends are different in someway or the other.
The film is given meaning by being filmed in monochrome. If it was in colour it would lack the desired effect.
Another solid movie; 8.5

The Mechanic
Explosive Jason Statham in yet another action packed movie which is based on the old Charles Bronson classic.
The action is engaging, storyline is interesting and plot is quite clever.
I don't know anyone who doesn't like Jason Statham!
Solid 7.5 from me.
