FAST AND FURIOUS 5
Directed by: Justin LIN
Former cop Brian O'Conner partners with ex-con Dom Toretto on the opposite side of the law. Since Brian and Mia Toretto broke Dom out of custody, they've blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead. But he's not the only one on their tail. Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs never misses his target. When he is assigned to track down Dom and Brian, he and his strike team launch an all-out assault to capture them. But as his men tear through Brazil, Hobbs learns he can't separate the good guys from the bad. Now, he must rely on his instincts to corner his prey... before someone else runs them down first. (plot IMDB)
Well first of i love the fast and furious series so i was really looking forward to this and after watching this i'd have to say it is by far the best out of all the fast and furious movies, loads of action throughout the whole movie, cars, girls, gun fights, oh and The Rock in by far his best movie yet. Okay the movie is cheesy, the acting is bad and some scenes are really silly, but the movie was still a good movie to watch and i left the cinema happy and looking forward to the next installment.
Something that made this movie a little different from the rest was that it felt alot more like a action movie and the cars didn't really play much of a part this time, also The Rock brought something new and the scenes with him and Diesel were cool (cheesy but still good to watch haha). If you like all the other fast and furious movies you will love this because its by far the best, i'd put them in this order myself.
Fast Five
Fast and Furious
fast and furious 4
fast and furious tokyo drift
2 fast 2 furious
ok i aint rating this on acting or story cause then it would suck, so ime rating this on how i enjoyed it as a action movie.

BATMAN
Directed by Tim Burton
Well With all the talk and news all over the internet about the Dark Knight Rises i thought i would go back and watch Tim Burton's 2 Batman movies, starting with this.
After a young boy witnesses his parents' murder on the streets of Gotham City, he grows up to become the Batman - a mysterious figure in the eyes of Gotham's citizens - who takes crime-fighting into his own hands. He first emerges out of the shadows when the Joker appears - a horribly disfigured individual who is out for revenge on his former employer and generally likes to have a good time.
Well first of i am a huge fan of Tim Burton's batman movies, Nolans are great aswell but i just love the feel and touch that Burton gave his batman films, Tho i prefer Batman Returns over his first installment, this was still a great movie. Jack Nicholson's performence of the joker was brilliant, he's funny, scary and crazy all rolled in to one and i couldn't see anyone fitting the role better than him. Michael Keaton as Batman was great aswell, tho some people, well most people may disagree i think that he is the best batman we have seen on the big screen so far, i think better than Bale myself. This movie brings a great comic book feel to it and tho silly sometimes Burton done everything just perfect with this, the story, the casting, the action, everything was great and i can't really fault it.
overall ime not gonna try and compare Nolan's and Burton's batman movies because both Directors went a different way and had a different approach on things, but ime big fan of what they both done and ime a big fan of what Burton done with this.

BATMAN: RETURNS
Directed by: Tim Burton
Well last night i checked out Tim Burton's second Batman movie Batman Returns. I forget how good this movie is.
Having defeated the Joker, Batman now faces the Penguin - a warped and deformed individual who is intent on being accepted into Gotham society. Crooked businessman Max Schreck is coerced into helping him become Mayor of Gotham and they both attempt to expose Batman in a different light. Earlier however, Selina Kyle, Max's secretary, is thrown from the top of a building and is transformed into Catwoman - a mysterious figure who has the same personality disorder as Batman. Batman must attempt to clear his name, all the time deciding just what must be done with the Catwoman.
Batman Returns in my opinion is Tim Burtons best work by far, what he did with this movie was fantastic, all the characters looked amazing, Gotham city looked amazing, everything just felt dark and scary and all tone with the movie. The villains in the movie i think are the best ive seen in any movie, catwoman played very well by the sexy Michelle Pfeiffer is a great character and Burton made her exactley how she should be (well for me anyway haha). The Penguin just wobbles about the whole film looking very scary indeed, And danny devito was casted perfect for the role. From start to finish this movie never lets you get bored and even tho the story doesnt centre around batman and more focuses on the villains of the movie, i think that worked well and was very clever by Burton.
Overall Batman Returns is a fantastic movie full of everything you want from a Batman film, sexy catwoman, alot of action, good story and alot of batman kicking a**.
I think i rated this a little lower a while back in my best of the year list but after watching this again i loved it even more.

Sadly the trailer for Change-Up isn't really grabbing me at all.
When I originally heard about it I was very interested as body swap films can be good fun and I'm a big fan of both Bateman and Reynolds. Hopefully it turns out to be better than the trailer indicates

TERMINATOR SALVATION
Directed by McG
''Better With A Second Viewing''
In 2003, in the Longview State Correctional Facility, the criminal Marcus Wright that is in the death row is convinced by the cancerous Dr. Serena Kogan to donate his body to her research and he accepts. In 2018, after an unsuccessful attack to a Skynet facility, only John Connor survives, but he discovers that Skynet is developing the powerful new model T-800. Out of the blue, Marcus appears naked and with amnesia in the location. Marcus befriends the teenager Kyle Reese and the girl Star that help him to survive to lethal machines and they travel together in a Jeep. Meanwhile the resistance discovers a signal that might turn-off the machines and John offers to test it. When Kyle is captured by a machine and brought to the Skynet headquarter, Marcus decides to help the youngster and heads to Skynet; on the way, he saves Blair Williams that suggests him to meet John Connor first. But Marcus steps on a mine and is submitted to a surgery, when a secret about his origins is disclosed.
Well i went to see this movie back when it very first came out at the cinema and i left feeling pretty dissapointed, Last night i decided to re-watch it and i found it alot better than my first viewing. Ok it is alot different from the other terminator movies that i grew up to but does that mean its a bad thing??, No not really, Terminator Salvation isnt all bad. Christian Bale, well when i first read some reviews about this movie he seemed to of got crapped on alot and i don't think he was even that bad, okay not his best role but he certainley wasn't bad. Sam Worthington aswell got alot of abuse about his role in my local newspapers and magazines, but to me i thought he did a good job. The Robots where all cool and looked great, ok the story was a little messy but the action was great and the movie flowed quite nicely.
Overall my second viewing was a better experience, no probelms with the sound in the cinema this time, no loud kids sitting infront of us at the cinema messing about the whole film, just me on my own and i enjoyed it alot more this time.

What kind of a director calls himself McG? I absolutely hate that. Sounds like a porno director.

ALPHA AND OMEGA
Diected by Anthony Bell and Ben Gluck
''Not The Best Of The Bunch, But Not Bad At All''
In Jasper National Park, the wolves, Kate and Humphrey, have known each other since puppyhood, but they are on the oppose ends of the Western Pack's social structure with Kate as the energetic Alpha daughter of the pack leader and Humphrey being the good humoured Omega. That social structure forces Kate to accept an arranged marriage with Garth of the Eastern Pack to unite the packs for peace, regardless of Humphrey's hopeless attraction for her. Before that union can occur, Kate and Humphrey are captured by the park's rangers and sent to an Idaho park as part of a wolf repopulation project. Mindful of her duties, Kate is determined to return to Jasper and Humphrey offers to help with the assistance of two odd geese. However, as this disparate pair struggle through the dangers to get home, a growing mutual appreciation of their talents and then a deeper love threatens to disastrously complicate everything if they make it back.
Well i really enjoyed this movie, just recentley ive been watching alot of animated movies its like my thing at the moment and i thought this was a nice little movie that kids and adults would enjoy. From start to finish the movie grabs you and takes you along for the ride so kids certainley wouldn't get bored with whats going on and it also has a good little story. I read alot of bad reviews on this movie, some terrible one's actually and i don't really see why. A review i read said that the movie was to predictable and a runt in the 2010 animated litter, haha to predictable what was he expecting a kids film with a Inception plot.
Overall i enjoyed this movie and kids would love it.

CARS
Directed by: John Lassater and Joe Ranft
''Really Good Animated Movie''
Lightning McQueen is a young, hotshot rookie race car in the last race of the season. At the end of the race, he finds out he is tied with Chick Hicks and The King. On the way to the tie-breaker race in Los Angeles, California, some hot punk cars get him lost in a little town called Radiator Springs on the old Route 66 road, which has been long forgotten many years ago. Scared to death, he tears up the town's main road and is sentenced to community service by Doc Hudson. During this time, he meets a funny, but lovable tow truck named Mater and a beautiful Porsche Carrera named Sally. He also meets some other cars, whom which he finds to be quite odd. All he wants to do is get out of this town and back into the big city, but as the week until the race goes on, the town folk help him discover that life isn't just about trophies, fame, and sponsorships and McQueen learns about family and friendship.
Well this is the first time i have seen Cars and i loved it, great entertainment throughout the whole movie and a animated movie not just aimed at kids. Well when thinking about this movie i always thort it would be a silly story that didnt make much sense but i was pleasantly surprised, the story held itself very well and for a movie just about cars it really worked great. The characters are all great (even tho owen wilsons voice annoys me haha), Mater i loved he had me laughing all the time, all the characters where great and worked really well. I read some reviews on this movie and it seems to be Pixar's least favourite movie in the eyes of critics and i don't see how, i found it more enjoyable than Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc and A bugs Life.
Overall really fun movie with fun characters, fun story and it was a fun watch.
