Taken 2

The first one was hardly brillient and this one isn't better! Taken 2 is about the reverse of the first, with the daughter doing the rescuing. Now the principal sex trafficker's  father, who is a Balkan villain Rade Sherbedgia, tries to get revenge on Mills and abducts him and his wife in Istanbul. Their daughter is left to do the rescuing. With little plot it depends what you are want as there are some good (but unrealisitic) chases and gunfights but they don't make up for the lack of structure.

Woman In Black

I know this film was out in November last year,but this film is perfect for Halloween also the past two reviews posted on this blog were mainly horror films and the run up to Halloween it's perfect.

I thought this film was absolutely brilliant as it shows Daniel Radcliffe( famous for Harry Potter) portrays a brilliant grown up character. Also this film made me scared and gave me nightmares even though I know what happens in the end I still get spooked out by it. 
This film has all the ingredients for a horror film, great actors, wonderful storyline, and a lot of jumpy bits. When I mean that I mean ALOT. 
Also this film made me more scared than I would if I was watching a 15, and this film is a 12. 

 Don't think this film will be a walk in the park because Daniel Radcliffe ( famous child star) will be in it. Don't think it won't be scared because its a 12.  Believe me it is I'd recommend this for people who just want to go and be brave at the cinema or just even a Halloween night in. Regardless of what your doing this Halloween me and jack hope you have a wonderful Halloween. 

Thank you for reading this blog this far.

Paranormal Activity 4

So the reviews to this film are very bad as this is true. I think that they could've done a better job as most of the time I was laughing at the majority of the film mainly the supposedly 'scary' bits which turned out to be funny.

When I see a horror film I expect to be scared to go to sleep the next night. Not spent hours laughing at the bits which weren't scary but funny. 

Also this film and in the past 3 has had a lot of hype due to the success of the other ones, I personally was disappointed with the lack of scary bits. This film is definatley a film which is aimed at people who just want to go with there friends ,and also film reviewers as this is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of the films out in the cinema. Please when you do go to see this film DO NOT EXPECT TO BE SCARED!! Also I think if your a fan otpf the other ones then I think watching this film will definatley be is film for you 

Thank you for reading this film review this far let me know what sort of film me and jack should watch next thank you 

Sinister

 Sinister   7 / 10

Director: Scott Derrickson

Produced by: Jason Blum

Running Time: 110 Mins.

Budget: $3 million.

This Film as all the ingredients for a horror film, building suspense, scary faces in the background, gruesome murders and possessed children. The trouble is I've eaten that cake a few times. I didn't find this particularly scary, at moments sure I jumped but I drifted to sleep fine that night. This film has the same elements as Insidious, a new family in a new house and possessed children. It starts with a set of old Super 8 clips, the first one shows a family, including young children being hung from a tree and goes on to other horrific slightly perverse murders. the ending ids good as you don't expect it to be result it is ... There are better films if you want to be terrified however for a horror film it has quite funny parts.

The Campaign

The Campaign   6.5 / 10

With the american presidential race happening at the moment many people may be looking for a classic political satire film. This movie starrs Will Ferell and Zach Galifianakis. It's a reasonable comedy, with some great laugh out loud moments. This film doesn't mean to be anything particularly sophisticated. Parts of it are quite entertaining. 

Ferrell plays the appalling Congressman Cam Brady campaigning to be re elected. He's a loathsome married womanizser whose becomes unpopular when he drunk calls a conservative christian family expecting it to be a girl of his who likes .. some saucy talk. (hilarious moment!) His rival, overweight, camp local tourism chief Marty Huggins (Galifianakis) pitches against him. The campaign gets very nasty "War has rules, mud wrestling has rules. Politics has no rules". If you're looking for a serious political observation then watch the News, this isn't the right film. Also if you will find a baby being comically hit offending, then avoid. 

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I wanted to watch this film so,so,so,so much!!!!

This film had a lot of hype ,and expectation to it seeing as Harry potter's Emma Watson stars as the love interest in the film. But I throughout the whole film there are some lighthearted, funny memorable characters. This film is a must see!

It's basically about this guy called Charlie who starts high school after a tricky summer,as his best friend kills himself. At first he finds it hard to fit in,but then he meets Sam and Patrick. Who changes his high school experience for the first year. 

With all it's funny,witty characters comes the serious side to it all. The sound track to the film was simply wonderful, as I love listening to that kind of music ,this film is up my street! I thought this film was funny,entertaining,charming.  I would recommend this film to anybody of any age, gender, sexuality whatever the case. This film will lead you in a good mood! I hope you enjoyed this film as
much as I did.

Thank you for reading this film review this far.

Anna Karenina

Anna Karenina. (7.5 / 10)

1. Cert (UK): 12A
2. Runtime: 130 mins
3. Directors: Joe Wright
4. Cast: Jude Law, Keira Knightley, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Alexandra Roach, Bill Skarsgard, Domhnall Gleeson, Emily Watson,

This film is set in aristocratic Russia during the 1870's. Based on Leo Trotsky's 950 page book Joe Wright (Pride and prejudice) has fabulously made sure this film is not boring at all, at any moment! He has very cleverly based the story around a Russian theatre in the 1870s. Apparently his intention was 'to create a large-scale image of upper-class tsarist society.' This can be a little confusing at first but you very soon understand. Anna Karenina (Kiera Knightly) bored with her life, falls for dashing count Vronsky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). Shunned from her society for committing adultery the film is about her struggle whether she should or should not go with the Count. When she does (I haven't spoiled anything there its very obvious) it is about her, her family and her communities  reaction. 

Knightly delivers a strong and moving performance, as do all of the actors. Coupled with moving music (I loved the Violins) and stunning photography and costumes, as well as the added twist of the use of the Russian stage. If you love Love stories and drama this is a must. But be careful there are no high speed car chases so you may have to compromise with whoever you see it with. The only possible fault I have is that sometimes what the screen looks like can sometimes take priority over the substance.

(Cos I am Bilingual ;) Please post if there are any mistakes i'm trying to learn, and if you like it more Spanish to follow.)

Adoro a Joe Wright porque sus peliculos son emocionates. Voy a hablar sobre un pelicula que se llama Anna Karenina. Trata de una heroine que se llama Anna Karenina que se enamiora de Villano. Se hace una espia. Tiene lugar en Rusia en el pasado. Al principal Anna je siente sola triste. Sin embargo ella esta segura la actriz principal, Kiera Knightly actua en el papel de Anna Karenina. El actor principal, Aaron Taylor-Johnson actua en el papel Count Vronsky. Lo que mas me gusta de la pelicula son los efectos especiales. Los efectos sonoros y los efectos especiales son excelentes y la fotographia es espectacular. Por desgracia el final triste.
