Stars: Matthew McConaughey, Marisa Tomei and Ryan Phillippe

Wow! I really meant that as well. This is right up my street, suspense
thriller. I originally heard some good reviews about this and what it
had the making of becoming and after watching it I totally agree.

McConaughey (Haller) is a defence lawyer who gets the deals where
deals cannot be made. He goes through his career staying 1 step ahead
of who he defends until now. He is asked for by a beverly hills family
to defend there son (Phillippe) who is up on assault and rape charges.

Haller has to defend this Roulet (Phillippe) as a second look at the
evidence causes Haller to rethink his approach.

This film has it all for a thriller, including a great performance
from McConaughey. The film is well written as it not only shows the
main character as a word hard, play hard sort of guy. It reflects him
in the film flow as well. There is not time to blink in this film or
you may something.

For a film that does not really go out and generate that many
questions it always keeps you on your toes wondering if you have
missed something. In my previous review about London Boulevard i said
i could watch hat again and again as it is light entertainment where
as this you must to watch it again to see if you have missed any clues
earlier on. I am going to have to watch this again to see if I did
actually miss anything.

Overall review is 9 out of 10

Here is the Trailer -

Stars: Colin Farrell, Keira Knightley and Ray Winstone

This release was always going to go one of two ways, reduced to clear or smash hit. I can tell you now it was the first one by a clear margin.

I am saddened by this as I really thought this was a great piece of work.

Farrell (Mitchell) plays a fresh out of prison gangster hell bent on not going back. He’s met at the prison gates by a relative who encourages him to take up his old life. Unfortunately he cannot help but find trouble and accidentally stumbles across young actress Charlotte (Knightley) who has become a recluse in her own home worried by danger of attack by the papps or others. Charlotte ask for his help and he is thrown into a battle of love and war.

To be brutally honest with you this film did not really do that well in reviews either however I thought it was brilliant. Not because Colin Farrell cannot recreate a cockney gansta accent if his life depended on it, or that Keira Knightly gave a very week performance. No this film reminded me of a good old Guy Richie production. The likes of Lock Stock, Snatch or even Rock n Rolla were running through the veins of this film.
 
 

I would watch this film again and again. Maybe it is because there are a lot of actors from previous gangster films in it and that glues the movie to together to make it feel more genuine. Maybe it is how it has been produced or maybe it is the plot. Never the less this is a great film, so watch it.

I would rate this film 8 out of 10

You know who I mean, you see all these people who blog and say they will walk for at least 30 minutes a day or something like that.

Well I know have realised what it is. It’s quiet simple really.

They decide to give up something or decide to exercise more when the weather is absolutely glorious. I mean really I could give up tv for a week if the weather was lovely for a week.

I know that it is totally unrelated but the when I hear all these people who say they have given up the tv or the movies for a month I think why.

Anyway that was a quick blog post form my garden.

In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth – something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.

A quiet pawnshop keeper with a violent past takes on a drug- and organ trafficking ring in hope of saving the child who is his only friend.

A interview not so long ago with Aaron Eckhart released information that Two Face will be back in some form.

When asked the direct question Aaron said with a smile “I cannot possibly say”.

Yeah I know it is not that much to go off but it is still enough for me to think that he will be in the next Christopher Nolan Batman film.

Writers: Albert Leon and Meena Payne

Actors : Keith David, Columnus Short, Stephen Boss and Pooch Hall

Synopsis

Chance Harris looks to find a balance between his school, work, relationships and opportunity to perform at the nationally televised step competition during homecoming weekend at Truth University.

Well this the sequel to Stomp the Yard. Basically these films have been created in the wake of the success of dance drama films like Step Up. Step Up created alot of people and allowed them to further there careers of the back of this success.

Stomp The Yard however has never really been able to fill the shoes of the original films and was always in my eyes trying to chance something that had already been done and had probably come to near the end of it’s shelf life.

Maybe the story is to thin?

Maybe it’s just not believable enough. I don’t know but there is something missing if I am honest and this was the same.

Don’t get me wrong I understood the story and sort of was able to relate to the struggles of someones lifes but to be honest I just did not see the spark that was in Step Up. It was more see the troubles a kid goes through during a term.
