skyline

skyline, is a new release movie int he cinema's that offers a thrilling ride to some viewers. to say this movie had a mediocre plot would be goign too far...thrillers that dont go anywhere, and dont offer the audience any suprises, are not worth watchign in the cinema.

yes it had some design opportunites for the special effects and computer graphic point of view. but little else contributed to this movies rating.

skyline rated: 1/5

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows part 1

the penultimate film instalment into one of the highest grossing book series of all time...this highly anticipated thriller, drama about the boy who lived and his quest to defeat evil.

harry potter, hermione granger, and ron weasley travel across england trying to find the ever elusive horcruxes. these magical objects hold inside them a portion of voldemorts soul, and without destroying these first, harry has no chance of defeating him.

the best thing about the last novel being split into two, is the detail the director can go into, to encapture the whole book, because this book is the most enthralling of them all, the conclusion to everything! it needs to be amazing. and part 1, lived up to the expectations millions of people have layed upon it.

there were very few negatives people could pick at for this movie.

lets just hope the next movie also delivers, and delivers well.
cya next year (sigh) for part 2.

Dangerous

starring Bruce willis, morgan freeman, john malkovich, helen mirren, and mary-louise parker with karl urban.

this cast draws almost every crowd, with humour, action, and drama mixed with a fun plot and great directing...

pass the SALT please

SALT
who is evelyne salt?
Angelina Jolie...one of todays super actresses...is back at the action/ thriller blockbuster stuff!
and i love it!
in SALT she brings a new meaning to cia agent/secret russian opperative planted into american society at a very young age.
her character is an explosive, and gritty version of james bond...james bond shoots, kicks and punches...well evelyn salt does all those things.... and more!

the movie has a good story line, which makes it predictable in some spots...but also unpredictable in others...overall it is a fun and entertaining ride for all those lara croft lovers out there!

Salt rated: 3.5/5

knight and day

a quirky movie about a normal american citizen that is entangled in the life of a secret agent, where after many heroic rescues and stunts, leads the normal citizen, june (cameron diaz), to fall in love with the secret agent, roy (tom cruise)...a movie about war lords that try to get their hands on a new energy, a renewable energy in the form of a battery that can power a small city...the film is mainly about the relationship between june and roy though.

filled with realistic and awesome action and stunts this movie is very watchable with the family, aged 14+

Knight and Day rated: 2.5/5

Inception

christopher nolan, writer and director, is a genius.

inceptions stars:
Leonardo DiCaprio (Titanic, Blood Diamond, Shutter Island, Body of Lies, The Aviator, etc etc)
Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Brick, 10 Things I Hate About You, G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra, etc)
Ellen Page (Whip It, Juno, Hard Candy, X-men: The Last Stand, etc)
Tom Hardy (RocknRolla, Sweeney Todd, Black Hawk Down, etc)
Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai, Batman Begins, etc)
Dileep Rao (Avatar etc)
Marion Cotillard (Public Enemies, etc)
Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Red Eye, Sunshine, etc)

and of course
Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, etc)

This epic Action, Thriller, Drama, Science Fiction is but one of Christopher Nolans triumphs in The film making business...he personally wrote and directed this captivating piece.

the extent and complexity of the movie is something peole can sit up all night and talk about, a directing masterpiece, with cutting edge cinematography and performances from all actors/ actresses in the movie make christophers latest effort one to enjoy for infinity.

He opens up the world of the dream, and through his character Cobb, played by Leo, he pushes the boundaries of impossible, with a life changing character piece provided by DiCaprio, this movie is the definition of Perfect.

I thouroughly enjoyed the 2 and a half hour ride and would stress to everyone over 16yrs old to watch Inception.

Inception rated: 5/5

karate kid

considering the original karate kid was one of th emost iconic movies ever made, this new version should not have been made...

even with the involvment of jackie chan, this movie still didnt fulfill the demands set by the original.

jaden smith, will smith's son, played the role of the young boy. he actually didnt do a bad job. the only thing that let him down was the script. it was filled with soppy romance and very little actual fighting, althought there was a bit of comedy throughout the film, which may appeal to the audience, it still felt like it was about 3/4 romance/boring filler, and 1/4 comedy/training, and a non-existent end fight scene, which was meant to be what the whole movie was about...

this movie took up an entire 2hrs 20 mins of my time, with maybe 10 minutes of actual fighting, and another 30 of training scenes.

all in all, there were some moments that were good to watch.

Karate Kid rated: 2/5

ECLIPSE

so...the third edition to the popular four book series stephanie millen wrote of love, eternal life, vampires and werewolves.

the thrilling tale started with Twilight, then continued into New Moon, the penultimate story of Eclipse follows our beloved characters of edward, bella and jacob, where true love shines through in the face of adversity. this movie is filled with action, comedy and mystery. the love bella has bottled up inside her for jacob is finaly drawn out. however it is not enough to keep her away from her one true love, Edward. jacob tries hard to persuade edward to let bella go, but the end result was never in doubt. bella agrees to marry edward. during all this a new band of vampires is created by victoria, who still thirsts for revenge after her partner, james, was killed in Twilight. through victorias ne born puppet riley she is able to create a force to large for the cullen family to hold off...an alliance is formed between the cullens and the werewolves, as this new born terror threatens there very existence.

the movie was, in my mind not as epic as stephanie invisioned in her book, however it was a bold attempt by the director.

Eclipse rated: 3/5
