Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol

Without knowing a single thing about the film series due to never seeing the previous three, I decided to give this a go. It certainly did not disappoint with plenty of action to last a life time.
Outstanding performance from Tom Cruise throughout. It contains action, humour and emotion. I actually really enjoyed this and will no doubt be getting the past three.
When Ethan Hunt's unit is shut down due to a bombing of the Kremlin in Russia, him and his team must pull out all the stops by going rouge and clearing their name and proving their innocence.
4/5 for excellent fighting sequences and stunts
Rating 12A
Also starring Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Jeremy Renner and Tom Wilkinson
A fan of the series will surely enjoy this thrilling instalment with the possibility of more to come.
Thanks for reading.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Just like the first one I absolutely loved this film having seen it twice already. It was full of everything you love from the first. Just like the ad says it was bigger, better and funnier.
Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are a brilliant team and their chemistry is shown every scene.
Pretty much picks up where the first left off with Irene Adler working for the mysterious Professor Moriaty and Sherlock catching on to his plans and trying to figure him out like he does with everything. The danger this time is that Moriaty is just as clever as Holmes is.
5/5 for just pure genius
Rating 12A
Also starring Rachel McAdams, Jared Harris, Noomi Rapace and Stephen Fry as Mycroft Holmes
Any current fan is sure to love and be hooked on and beg for more.
Without giving too much away so far. Please go see this no matter who you are as I'm sure you will love it. It would help to see the first one before this.
Thanks for reading.

Dream House

I entered the cinema not knowing anything about this film, no idea what to expect. I was very interested in it while it was getting started. It all became very confusing.
Will has decided to quit his job and spend more time with his family in their home in New England. He soon discovers that his home was was the location of a family being murdered with the only survivor being the dad Peter Ward. Will's 2 children mention that they keep seeing a face in the window. He tries to discover who this is and what is going on around his home. A dark twisted outcome follows this.
3/5 for enjoyable twisted thriller
Rating 15
Starring Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz and Naomi Watts.
An interesting movie that will require a lot of thinking. If you like me don't understand it to start off with like your friends then don't worry it will come to you :)
Thanks for reading and apologies for no reviews in the last few weeks
