Superb film. Only big name I recognised was Nick Nolte. His acting was so good!
It's emotional without being sappy. It's funny without being goofy. It's inspirational without going over the top. It's hard to say anything bad about it.
Prepare to be surprised by all three main performances.
And yes, before you ask, it did make me cry ;)

Drive
High-Octane movie here not for the weak-hearted!
Tremendous movie; albeit slightly cliche. Loved the ending; it keeps you guessing.
Yes, it is another heist story, but this is different! Watch it and see! Ryan Gosling is the driver with a heart of gold :-)
Superb, really enjoyed it

The Change Up
Lots and lots of laughs here with Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds.
Jason Bateman has done a lot of movies this past year. In my opinion he is a very likeable person and I seem to enjoy his movies a lot. I think i've seen all of them so far!
Understandbly he plays a similar role in each of them, but would like him to be a little more versatile! I am sure we have all that to come from him!
Back to the movie; there are a few funny moments and it did make me laugh out loud - that is always a good thing!
It's a strange and wierd concept, but it worked for me; perhaps not for everyone!
7.5 :-)

Blitz
British cop drama starring the ever versatile Jason Statham. His roles unfortunately all are the same, but it's a good thing that I never tire from watching him!
I thought it was very good; action sequences were racy and heart-pumping.
Not the best ending; felt the movie was rushed towards it.
Nevertheless, an enjoyable ride!

Colombiana
Slick and stylish movie here from Luc Besson.
Not quite as awesome as Leon, but still not bad. I don't think anything will ever be as epic as Leon.
Zoe Saldana gives us her first impression as an action star. I think it's fair to say she needs a little practice. Her performance was a little wooden.
The movie is full of plot holes unfortunately; but it's a decent time pass.

Bol
Ground-breaking pakistani film about womens rights in Pakistan directed by Shoaib Mansoor.
This film has gone places that no other pakistani film has been before.
The acting was superb and the way the story was told and narrated was very engaging.
Music was also very good and the villain, "Isaac" was the best of the lot.
Fantastic - 9

Friends With Benefits
I think the best and funny parts of this were the actual trailer that was showed.
It was very "in your face" and I am just not liking Justin Timberlake. I can't believe Mila Kunis did this role after Black Swan and The Book Of Eli.
It was not even funny; it was just sex all the time. It was aimed at the younger audience I think.
Got fed up of it after half an hour; there is no story line.

Kill List
Disturbing british horror film here.
Some scenes are awfully strange, but the ending was the worst part of the movie.
It can be said that it followed a very similar theme to the movie, A Serbian Film, particularly the ending.
This did not really disturb me that much, because I think I am hardened horror movie fanatic! The bit when the guy smashes the victim's head with a hammer was quite gross!
Not bad for a british movie - 7

The Inbetweeners Movie
Hilarious capers here from the Inbetweeners boys which is a cult british sitcom about 4 strange boys who talk about their fantasies and "imagined" sexual capers!
It's very funny and I think it would appeal to the americans as they particularly like the british accent. It would not surprise me if they followed the sitcom on dvd!
The season is in its 4th season now; the film being set abroad. It is very good and I enjoyed it a lot!
A solid 8 from me!

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes
Whoa! What a phenomenal movie!
I really enjoyed it!
The story goes right to the outset of how the Apes started to take over and rule the world.
The special effects are really quite amazing. The ape, Caesar who is the main ape character, plays a remarkable role. His facial expressions were outstanding.
This was one of the best movies i've seen this year.
A 9 from me!

Beautiful Lies
Was really looking forward to this french comedy. In the end I did not think it was that funny; it was more of a drama.
Audrey Tatou was really good. I really rate her as an actress and she is cute.
I have not seen the male actor in a movie before; but they worked well together.
I rate it a 7 only because I was expecting to laugh, but I didn't!

Super 8
Sorry I have not been updating the blog, but August was one manic month. New job, a holiday abroad. Got some time now that kids have gone back to school!
Back to the film. This was a very good effort, and I really liked the kid actors in it. Elle Fanning really stood out. These are the stars of the future.
I loved the late 70s early 80s theme. It reminded me of ET and with this being produced my Spielberg, it had a very similar feel to it.
When the alien actually came, like most films, I was disappointed with the result. I just have not found them scary enough and they are very cliche in description.
Some superb special effects though. I rate it a 7.
