Profanity: alot F-word use & other strong language

Story: In this tension-packed thriller, brothers Mike and Tre set out in search of better lives, trying to leave their demons behind for good. After being released from prison for a crime he didn't commit, Mike's only care in the world is to protect his young daughter from an unforgiving ex. But the justice that awaits him on the streets is far worse than anything Mike had experienced in prison. His older brother Tre begrudgingly agrees to one last "delivery", attempting to free Mike and his new girlfriend from the grips of the criminal underworld. What transpires is a wild misadventure where multiple lives unknowingly intersect, and where decisions are made that will haunt everyone forever.

Likes : This isn't a bad effort for a gangster, it has all the gangster feel to it with the drug lords & gangs,the story line isn't to bad based on the premise of be careful who you make deals with as what goes around comes around concept which was done to badly in this film.
The film starts off with a great tension, when a police man stops by a car where a man is sitting besides a lot of empty bear cans. We understand that there's more to it, because then tension is high,with both the dramatized acting as well as the music. Then with the opening credits we get a stunning birds eye look over the big city, with big sentimental music. Loved the opening. When it starts off like this, it's very promising. But then it's like someone lost it completely.
It like watching different films all in one film, its try way to hard to be like pulp fiction style with the twists in the story as it goes back & forth i think its this that lets this film down to being a brilliant film, it not one a can recommend as being a great film but still watchable the once viewing.


Dislikes : The problem with this was the method in which they used to convey the story. The direction was all over the place as were the performances from the actors, but overall the pacing and the way it was presented was the biggest mess the story is all over the place there is not grounded it lets the film day.

Overall : Not a great film but still OK to watch, if your into gangster type film you might like this but it wont be for every one.

Rating: 3.7 out of 5 for entertainment / 5 out of 10 for story/ concept

Running time: 142 min
  

Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity: mild innuendo


Violence & Gore:there will be a lot of stylized fight scenes throughout.
some characters will be killed.
A man is violently electrocuted by a wire. He then falls a few stories into a large glass tank of electric eels. They retaliate by stinging him multiple times. This scene is not graphic but may frighten younger audiences.
Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy crash through a glass rooftop. (other than a bruise on her head, and some tears in his suit they're fine, until Green Goblin/Harry Osborn comes in and attacks them, which results in a violent fight)
It will be revealed how Peter's parents die through flashbacks
Mild blood from cuts however most likely no spray of blood and no use of gore will be present 

Profanity: A few uses of "damn" and "hell" (based on novel)
   

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Harry Osborn could be shown as a drunk
Most likely just mild drinking however
Very doubtful that drugs such as weed will be present in the film

Frightening/Intense Scenes: The fight scenes will be pretty intense
Electro's appearance and voice are rather frightening
Important characters might die
Electro/Max Dillon's back story is somewhat depressing
The opening scene is pretty intense. 



Story: We've always known that Spider-Man's most important conflict has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that his greatest battle is about to begin. It's great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp. Directed by Marc Webb. Produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach. Screenplay by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner.


Likes : This new installment in Marc Webb's growing franchise pits Spider-Man against threats created behind the closed doors of Oscorp, furthermore leading him to face the price of being a hero as the ones he loves are put at risk.
Webb has taken things to a whole new level in the sequel to his 2012 re-imagining of Spider-Man. Whilst the first film spent time developing the origin of Spider-Man, this film wastes no time in swinging straight into the action. Andrew Garfield truly understands his role of witty superhero Spider-Man and this is evident right from the opening scene in which Spider-Man is dropping hilarious quips to his foes. His portrayal of Peter Parker is also top notch and he captures every nuance of the character. They couldn't have picked a more perfect actor for the role. His relationship with Gwen Stacy is still one of the best aspects of these new films. Thanks, in large part, to Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone's effortless chemistry, they make the relationship between their characters so easily likable, There's more tragedy packed into that moment than the original films had combined. Although this brutal event in this film take you buy surprise, i mean seriously by surprise you cant help but sit there in shock of what you've just seen, it really brings you to tears, i cant say what happen because it will give away a major spoiler but be warned this scene maybe disturb for younger viewers.
 Unlike Willem Dafoe's Norman Osborn, there's no costume that looks purchased from a toy store here. This time, we have an actual menacing-looking villain played by Dane DeHaan  (that, granted, looks a bit like a homicidal leprechaun, but still...an improvement over the last Green Goblin incarnation). His physical transformation is truly horrific in how it's presented. He becomes this ghastly creature and proves to live up to the infamy as Spider-Man's greatest enemy.
 Jamie fox as electro wow what a performance, absolutely brilliant playing the bad guy role, along with the fights scene leads to some spectacular special effect like a light show like with some brilliant music making this film on of the most intense superhero films to date.
 unexpected plot twist, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is funny and surprising good, not disappointing in anything, the plot is human and open great opportunities for the stars of the movie, principally Andrew, Emma and Jamie Foxx. The CGI is exceptional and it's a rare real 3D case.All in all the story-line is leading to the ultimate battle between the sinister six, Rhino is not really in this film much he only got two scenes but i love the fact the show curtain scene where you see the Armour of the different guys

Dislikes : Ithink rhinos character could of been in the film a bit more & the other thing is the cert i think a curtain scene were to intense for a younger viewer i think this film should of been a 15 cert.

Overall : Brilliant performances, perfect special effects, great twist & heart breaking moments, this is a must to see.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 10 out of 10 for story-line/ special effects

Film Review: The Appearing

Genre:  Horror | Mystery | Thriller 

Cert: (R-rated) 18cert

Director: Daric Gates

Writers: Daric Gates, Matthew J. Ryan

Starring: Will Wallace, Dean Cain, Don Swayze, Quinton Aaron, Emily Brooks, Wolfgang Bodison, Conroy Kanter, Abigail Cooper, Kris Deskins,  Tom Calococci, Payton Wood,Meghan McGregor,  Megan Kiniry, Melanie Rashbaum, Elizabeth Florer

Running time: 92 min
 
Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity: couple kissing around a camp fire, sex scene with clothes on

Violence & Gore: Scene of a young girl being stabbed, few scene where blood is seen., mention of suicide or murder, body is seen in the ground

Profanity:  demonic voice saying "you wife is a whore in hell".   

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: drinking in a bar

Frightening/Intense Scenes: Some scene maybe be a little disturbing but not enough to truly frighten.



Story: After suffering a tragic loss, a city detective named Michael and his wife move to a small town, where Michael joins the town police force. His first case, involving a missing person, leads him to discover that the town is plagued by a dark supernatural force. Michael will have to summon every ounce of courage in order to fight this darkness before it takes everything from him.

Likes : This isn't a train wreck of a horror film, its thought provoking with curtain content's with a demon called Asmodeus from the book of enok fallen angel that corrupt the weak mind with lust,desire to do thing evil. The story-line was easy to follow, perhaps a bit too simple at times, but it was weighed down by the fact that the movie never really got up into gear and left its mediocre pace in its wake.
The acting in the movie was wooden at best, and there weren't really any particular performances that stood out in any way. There was an shadow cast over the entire movie, from what appeared to be a fact that people weren't really putting their souls and wholeheartedly efforts into this movie.
The effects were actually adequate, as were the story line of the movie. Well, don't go and expect multi-million dollar effects here though, but the effects were used to good extend and did their jobs well enough but just the story-line lets this film down.Not every one will like this film.
The demonic possesses scene were ok but not really convincing enough, yet the film has a slightly dark feel to it for an average horror film that doesn't really hit a brilliant horror.


Dislikes : This film try's to be to much like "The exorcist", "The rite" or "The possession but sadly comes off a less carbon copy of those film due to poor direction & bad scripting, some of the acting isn't great feels a little wooden.

Overall : Not the best of horror but still good not great, demonic background story is good, just a shame on story line.

Rating: 3.2 out of 5 for entertainment / 4.3 out of 10 for horror/story-line.

Running time: 88 min  

Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity: Some mild sexual innuendos which will go over most children's heads


Violence & Gore:Mild violence throughout
A boxing scene where Harry is punched a few times. Nothing graphic, this scene is supposed to be comical
Profanity: The odd use of "damn" but nothing stronger


Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: none

Frightening/Intense Scenes:  Menacing scenes with Otto, but nothing very frightening.
The whole film is supposed to be comical, and should be suitable for anyone


Story: Under the mistaken impression that his pet hamster, Abu, is ill Harry Hill and his Nan (Julie Walters) take him to the vet, who wrongly gives them the tragic news that Abu has one week to live. Harry, who thinks he speaks fluent hamster (but, in fact, misunderstands every squeak that comes out of his little pal's mouth), incorrectly thinks Abu's dying wish is a trip to Blackpool. With Nan making three, the trio embark on a road trip to the seaside town. Unbeknownst to them, the Vet is actually the dirty rotten henchman of Harry's evil twin brother Otto (Matt Lucas), who was raised separately by Alsatians. Addicted to Hula-Hoops and fueled by revenge, Otto's nefarious plot is to kidnap Abu and make him the centerpiece of the plastinated hamster world he's creating in his evil lair. Can Harry and Nan stop Otto before it's too late?

Likes : There isn't must i can say i like about this film, it has the slap stick Benny hill comical humor, i did find the chicken's with the gun pretty but but that about all i kind of found funny about this film, i love comedy film but im not a big fan of harry hill i find his joke & comedy over the top stupid.
This film does have some decent acting pretty good singing from some, great costume design for the character & make up is good but sadly unless your a harry hill fan this is a disappointing film to watch.


Dislikes : As ive said before if your not a harry hill fan this film is seriously going to be a bad film for you to watch, the joke's are over the top & unfunny, some of he singing is bad, this is one film that should never of been made, its just seem like a quick buck one off movie to make some money, i think this should of stay on tv because there are just something that should be made in to a film.

Overall : Unless you a harry hill fan you wont like this, if you are a fan this will be comedy gold.

Running time: 74 min 

Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Profanity: none

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: none

Frightening/Intense Scenes:  none



Story: Batman learns he has a violent, unruly pre-teen son, secretly raised by the terrorist group the League of Assassins.

Likes : This one from DC animated series of film's is kind of funny, it like watching father like son, yet the kid is a reckless & undisciplined in the way of not killing anyone as his been trained by the legion of assassin under the rule of his grandfather ras al ghul & his mother Talia al Ghul.
Unlike the other film from DC this one isn't as dark & violent as most of the other film but still  has the odd violent scene special some fights with slade aka death-stroke, although i do prefer the darker animated film it make a change to see a slightly dull down less violent DC animated film.
To give an honest opinoin i think Dc/warner brothers need to start uping their game by make more live action film like Marvel because Dc is seriously lacking in DC live action film's.The story of this one isn't to bad great voice-over acting, good animation really set a tone for father & son film.If you into the animated film of Dc comic your love this one, all in all pretty good enjoyable film to watch.

Dislikes
: could of been a bit darker bit more violent

Overall : Father & son team up, great animated film, good story-line

Wahyu has not informed his superiors about the operation. Now the police officers have to fight with limited ammunition against the armed and dangerous gangsters.

Likes : I've been wanting to see this film for a while ive been putting it off because i don't like subtitled film that much but i manged to see this film in English dubbed, although the speaking kind of made them look dumb you can kind of forgive that because the action in this film is off the charts.
If you looking for an all out action martial art blood fight scene's this is one to watch, the fight scene choreography is beautiful done as you see ever punch, kick, blade stab & neck breaking in this film which make for a believable action film some scene even i cringe at because it was so brutal.
The director Gareth Evans has made what i could say as a master piece of a action film, starts off pretty much normal nothing really happen until is seriously kick in its like a sh*it storm of a blood thirst film that get kicked in to hype drive.Some of these martial arts are brilliant in showing some amazing martial art hand to hand ,weapon to weapon combat, which lead to a two on one final showdown with one of the most brutal fight scene ive ever seen in a film.
This is a roller-coaster of 101 min of intense bloody combat & brutal fight scene your ever get in a film this is a film i highly recommend you see if you have already if you love the fighting style action movie's,because this one is highly entertaining & keep you glued to the screen, you wont be disappointed.

Dislikes : The Raid is not without flaws. The acting, the dialogs, the CGI, the twist - you know - those usual unconvincing stuff which you can find even in some blockbuster martial arts/action movies, can be improved. But overall it is a superb action movie so I understand the high-praised comments from those film festivals.

Overall : Fast brutal combat, brilliant choreography, best action film your see, a must to watch.

Story:Old St. Leopold's Hospital has many urban legends surrounding it, but the residents of Bridgeport all agree on one thing: tortured souls roam its abandoned halls. The mystery proves too much for a pretty young student who decides to investigate for her senior class project. Unfortunately, she does not find ghosts. She, instead, finds Stanley... serial rapist, murderer, and psychopath. As the young girl becomes Stanley's new pet, a team of young investigators descend on the hospital to "hunt some ghosts." Stanley sees nothing but fun and games in his future. But, what Stanley does not know is that the hospital truly is haunted and the restless spirits there are not happy with what he has been doing.


 Likes : Sorry there is nothing good i can say about this film, from the poster it look like an interesting film but after watch this crap, its just show just how amateur this film was at a student level that belongs in a student school to show just how not to make a film.

Dislikes : Where do i start, the plot story of this film is so bad its boarder line as being trash, the acting is some of the worst acting ive ever seen it was so wooden & no atmosphere at all, the character were so unbelievable it was painful to sit through this film to the end. Even the special effects were seriously bad, fair play for them for trying to make a film because you have to start from some where but dam this film is shockingly bad its a must void.There no story-line, bad acting, Terrible continuity...Terrible lighting..., Terrible good reviews from people connected with the movie on IMDb...giving this a 4.5 seriously this film is not even worth that.

Overall : Seriously bad film not worth wasting 90 MINS OF YOUR TIME WATCH THIS, SERIOUSLY AVOID AT ALL COST.

Rating: 1 out of 5 for entertainment / 1 out of 10 for story-line/acting
