Entertaining Sci-fi thriller based on the old Schwartznegger film. Ideas from it lifted out and given a new spin on the story.
Colin Farrell was convincing as Quaid and equally, so was Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale. My only problem with the film was the story. It could have been so much darker and deeper and the enemy could have been played by an A Lister.
Visually, it is superb so techno-fans are in for a treat. Just don't expect too much from the story.

Expendables 2
Exhilarating action piece with 9 stars in. I don't need to name them all!
It's your typical revenge action plot with cool stunts and mindless action. People have really enjoyed this but I thought it was quite mediocre. Camera work was untidy in my opinion.
It's a good time pass but nothing more.

The Bourne Legacy
Interesting side story which is like a totally new film and totally unconnected to any of the Bourne Films. By watching this, you will not feel as though you missed out on the story if you did not see the other Bourne movies.
Rachel Weisz is very good; nice to see her on screen after such a long time.
The newcomer, Jeremy Renner makes a good hero in his first movie in a lead role. He certainly has potential for similar movies. There could be another spin off to see this film, but would prefer it not to have the "Bourne" title in; I think it was purely a marketing ploy to get people interested!

Magic Mike
The only reason we watched this was because there was nothing else on!
It was actually alright and Channing Tatum has found some roles he is comfortable doing. He certainly has found his feet. Matthew McConaughy is really good as always! Although there are some uncomfortable scenes for straight males to watch it really is not that bad.
My main criticism is that Channing's character was a little under developed and his future goal was a let down. They could have done something better with the story.

Ted
Hilarious capers about a man's. Est friend who is a teddy bear that comes to life.
There are vulgar jokes and scenes which would not have been funny if performed by a normal person, but because a teddy was doing them it was amusing.
I think the story was dragged out and diverted by a silly sub-plot which ruined it a little. But if you are looking for some laughs then this is for you.
