Law Abiding Citizen


Never judge a book by it's cover and that is the same for films.
Gerard Butler the biggest name in Hollywood at the moment has produced a string of hits and this is actually his best in my opinion.
I was extremely reluctant to watch it and it was only when people asked me time and time again if knew if it was good or not that I decided to find out.
Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) looses his family in a tragic incident where he is held captive and cannot save them. He see's the law fail to prosecute the offenders correctly and finds himself without justice. After ten years Clyde returns with a plot to teach the law it's failings.
Jamie Foxx is superb as the young feisty lawyer who is trying to climb the ladder of success. This film is an action, thriller that will keep your attention through out. 9/10 well worth a watch

Paranormal Activity


'Do not watch this ALONE' it boasts! I would be inclined to agree as this film is chillingly disturbing. A young couple decide to record their everyday lives and document the strange goings on that happen to them while they sleep.
You can compare films like this to the likes of 'The Blair witch project' and most recently 'Rec' and to be honest they are pretty much all along the same lines. The only real difference with this film is that it was on high demand by the public to be played in their local cinemas. Over 1,000,000 to be exact and this kind of attention really gave it the exposure Oren Peli, the director, needed to make the movie a real hit in Hollywood.
Although the entire film grasps the atmosphere and makes you feel in complete unease it really failed to leave me  feeling satisfied. The ending was sloppy and too easy and VERY Hollywood!
6/10 If you fancy watching a scary film but left laughing, go for it!

How to train your dragon 3d

This an Easter holiday must see!!!!
Hiccup is a young Viking living in a town that snows 9 months of the year and hails for the other 3. They are pretty ordinary Vikings apart from having to deal with the odd Dragon!!! Hiccup is faced with a choice to follow his heritage or face his demons and change the way the Vikings live forever.
This film is a sheer delight and I would recommend to everyone of every age and especially in 3d because this is where it really comes to life! 
With a cast to boast about this film is set to quite possibly be the best film of 2010. Don't miss it for anything!! 10/10
