Hall Pass

This is so hillarious. Some of the things that happened and were said made me laugh just by how outrageous they were. Absolutely awesome film. Shows what men and women can be like if given a week off from marriage. I really enjoyed myself while watching this, it was just so damn funny throughout. I extremely recommend that any sane human go see this as I no doubt will again.
Rating 15.
5/5 for an absolute laugh all the way.
Basically Rick and Fred are obsessed with sex, so their wives decide to give them a Hall Pass (a week off marriage) where they can do whatever they want with whoever they want as if they were single again. Straight away the guys think that it will be easy to get women to sleep with them but they soon realise it is a lot harder than they remember. Whereas their wives decide that they deserve the same and for them it isn't too difficult. A hillarious plot with so many funny actors/actresses including Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Richard Jenkins, Stephen Merchant and many other big funny stars.
You would be mad not to see this.
I know it sounds like I'm advertising the movie but it really was that funny and what every guy might dream of.
Thanks for reading.
These will continue to come.

Battle: Los Angeles

Absolutely wicked film. Great war type film with lots of action from start to finish. As soon as it starts the film gets into the main plotline very quickly. Really good believable acting from the entire cast portraying US Marines and civilians.
At times very emotional which may bring a tear or two to your eye.
I really enjoyed this film for the entire 2 hours.
Any war/extra terrestrial fan will enjoy.
5/5 stars for a mixture of things (emotion, action and intensity to name a few)
12A contains strong language and violence.
Marine Staff Sergeant Michael Nantz decides it is time to call it a day until aliens strike LA and him and his Platoon are forced into action to rescue civilians and get them to safety. Untimately it is up to them to stop this attacking force before all they have ever known is destroyed.
Cast includes Aaron Eckhart and Michelle Rodriguez.
Must see film that is up there with the likes of Independance Day and District 9.
Thankyou for continuing to read.
More coming very soon.

Unknown

One thing to describe this film, excellent. I really enjoyed this from start to finish as it makes you really think and at times was confusing, but overall an awesome film.
5/5 for intensity.
Rating 12A
Liam Neeson plays his character Dr Martin Harris really well. He is an amazing actor.
He awakes from a coma only to discover that another man has taken his identity. Even worse, his wife doesn't remember who he is. He must try to discover what has happened while he has been in a coma for 4 days and why his wife hasn't been looking for him. Lots of action and searching throughout.
Under it all a secret must be uncovered so that Dr Marting Harris can go from being unknown to known. One of the best films that I have seen all year so far.
Also starring Diane Kruger, January Jones and Frank Langell.
If you like Taken then see this.
Superb acting, great plot/story. This causes you to actually think about what is going on as you yourself try to uncover the plot as it gradually unravels throughout.
Thanks for reading today more films on the way.
Any comments welcome. Any tips also welcome.

Rango

Rango is a unusual film which at times doesn't make much sense. But overall Johnny Depp ceases to amaze me. His witty humour and excellent voice work make this really enjoyable. I found it really funny at times and would if asked go and see it again.
It is one of those films that I'm sure children will especially enjoy with some hidden adult humour.
4/5 stars for enjoyable plot with funny scenes.
Rating PG
Rango a lonely chameleon finds himself in the desert and comes across a town called Dirt. He realises that now he can be whoever he wants to be so pretends to be somekind of hero which everyone believes. When the only water in the town left disappears because of Rango, he must try to prove that he is actually a hero and recover it before they discover his lies.
Starring Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Bill Nighy, Ned Beatty, Alfred Molina.
Good voice cast for a fun movie.
Go see this if you are a fan of Johnny Depp.
More coming soon. Thanks.

The Fighter

This film is an absolute blast that shows a small town guy in the shadow of his junky brother, can actually get a shot at the title. I have seen this film twice and have really enjoyed it.
It starts off quite slow and maybe slightly boring but it really starts to pick up and become very interesting. It truly is the best boxing movie since Rocky.
I will give this a 4/5 star rating for a right knock out.
Rating 15
Dickie once beat a great boxer in a fluke victory. So he becomes the spotlight of the town and the centre of attention. Mickie his younger brother learned everything he knows about boxing from Dickie but when he becomes a crack addict and starts to miss Mickie's training he starts to really doubt him. Mickie's girlfriend, friends and Dad reackon it is his family that are causing him to get beaten and lose his confidence.
Dickie gets locked up and Mickie now has the chance to be in the spotlight and shine above his brother. A really good, at time emotional and comical film.
I definitely recommend seeing this film.
Amazing acting from Christian Bale who completely transformed himself for this film and most certainly deserves the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Continue to read for more reviews.
Thankyou.
