The Hangover Part 2

This truly has to be the funniest film I have seen this year. It was an absolute sensational sequel as good as the first. It literally had me laughing from start to finish. Once again it follows the same sort of plot as the first with unexpected moments and hilarious moments.
5/5 stars for funniest film of 2011 so far
Rating 15
This time it is Stu that is getting married to a girl from Thailand, this is where the wedding is due to take place. Initially Stu doesn't want a Bachelor party but the guys, Phil, Alan and Doug convince him too one drink and to bring along his future brother in law 16 year old Teddy. This of course doesn't happen when they find themselves in a horrible grimy hotel in the middle of Bangkok and no idea of what happened the night before. In a race against time to find Teddy before the wedding they require the help of Alan's plus one Me Chow. Hilarious moments throughout.
I recommend any sane person go see this and even  the insane ones. I personally can't wait to see it again and do it all over again. I have seen it twice and it is just as good second time round.
Please let me know what you thought about it and what ?/5 you would give, enjoy.
Thanks for reading, more reviews coming this spring/summer.

Insidious

This truly is one of the scariest movies I have seen. Something's happen that you just can't believe, and are so frightening that at one point I considered leaving.
Renai and Josh Lambert move into a new house with their three children. One day 8 year old Dalton(one of their children) falls into a coma like state, although doctors don't know what to call it. Renai starts to notice suspicious things going on in the house that start to scare her and she doesn't think Josh believes her. So scared they decide to move house where they discover the house wasn't haunted their son is.
At one point I did start to think this is stupid and laugh a little but it had me wanting to look at the floor to get away from it. Overall a terrifying film that should scare anyone.
Rating 15

Attack the Block

Overall this wasnt a great film. Some terrible acting that actually made the film humorous in it's own way but in general not too good. Some of the one liners and the stuff the kids on the streets did and how they were talking was funny but this didnt make up for a bad plot.
2/5 for poor plot and acting
Rating 15
An alien crashes from the sky and the kids on the block do not like this, so they decide to kill it. This makes them targets of much worse aliens (dog/wolf like monsters). They come to the conclusion that they need to protect their block in order to survive and fight back.
I was slightly disappointed by Nick Frost's role as he wasn't as involved in the film as much as I thought he would be. In the scenes that he does feature in he is funny like most roles he plays.
Definitely potential for some young British actors to improve but work is needed.
I wouldn't recommend seeing this over other films out at the moment but it's worth a go if your looking for something to do.
In my opinion it doesn't have anything on Shaun of the Dead, what some people are comparing it too.
Thanks for reading and continuing to check out the blog.

Pirates of the Caribbean : On Stranger Tides

One word to describe this film AMAZING. I absolutely loved it, and would say it is just as good as the rest even with a different director. It absolutely did not disappoint. The obvious witty Jack is once again a hillarious pirate. Beautiful locations and a great cast with Johnny Depp, Penolope Cruz, Ian McShane and Geoffrey Rush.
The film starts with Jack and Gibbs in London with the map to the fountain of youth. Captain Barbossa who now works for the King of England is after the map, as is Captain Blackbeard and his daughter. All searching for it with the help of Jacks compass and Gibbs with the map, they search for it and the pieces needed to complete it. Hilarious moments throughout. Fantastic plot and great cast. What more could you want.
5/5 stars for a great plot and superb acting
Rating 12A
I would recommend this film to everyone. Can't personally imagine why you wouldn't enjoy it.
Thanks for reading and enjoy the movie if it is for you.
More coming in the near future.......

Fast Five

I loved this film, I thought it was awesome. Fantastic edition to the franchise, and possibly the best one yet. Like the others of course there is racing involved into the plot, although racing takes a step back and they use the cars for more of chasing than racing.
If you wanna see a film with action, laughs, cars and guns then this is the one for you.
It picks up straight from where Fast and Furious left us and it has an explosive start. Dom, Mia and Brian are all wanted by America so where better to go than Rio. What they didn't anticipate was Luke Hobbs, an elite agent who will stop at nothing to complete the mission of capturing and arresting them. Dom, Mia and Brian get a bunch of friends from previous movies to help them in their final job so they don't have to keep running for the rest of their lives.
Rating 12A
4/5 stars for just a plain amazing movie
I recommend this to anyone and everyone, it really was that good. Everything a Fast and Furious movie should be and more.
Starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Up there with the best of the best for car films.
