I feel the fim review can be summed up by saying essentially, the plot was a bit thin and general storyline somewhat tiring. Why? Damon is looking older but still in good shape however.  A newer and better storyline is required for the sequel that has been left open. On a positive note, the chase scenes were as good as any Bond film if not better thanks to the excellent Director of all the Bourne films - Paul Greengrass. Tommy Lee Jones usually puts in a good performance but I don't believe he was used to his full potential due to the storyline. Julia Stiles character could have been allowed to be used for a longer period of time in the film as well. I have liked the Bourne films including The Bourne Legacy but if there is another big improvements will have to be made.

Melissa McCarthy (Spy and Bridesmaids) always brings to the screen her own unique brand of humour. It borders on slapstick and awkwardness which is guaranteed to get your attention. Doing a film review of 'The Boss' was always going to be full of surprises. In 'The Boss' her character 'Michelle Darnell' is a successful corporate executive who gets caught out participating in Insider Trading by a rival executive / past love interest played by Peter Dinklage (Game Of Thrones). Consequently she finds herself doing time for her crime and when she complete this, she turns to a past employee played by Kristin Bell (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) who takes her in when no one else will. 

With so many superheroes out there these days you really don’t know what to expect when a Distributor invites you to a screening of yet another Marvel comic book character on film. Now if you are like this film reviewer did not read a lot of comics you are on the back foot to begin with. No doubt there were people in the audience who had read the comic that Deadpool movie originates from but I can happily say if you have not you will enjoy this film.Starring Ryan Reynolds (Woman In Gold) as our superhero ‘Deadpool’ we are taken on a journey of self-discovery. The old phrase ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’ is a lesson that our anti superhero learns by the end of the film and the people that count in his life will accept him for.

Dreamworks Animation put together two animated flicks in 2006 - 'Over The Hedge' (released in June) and 'Flushed' Away.  The quality of computer animation has improved greatly over the years but it sure has come at a cost. Flushed Away cost a staggering $149m to produce. How could a film with no live performances cost so much?It's a question that kids won't care about. They'll be more interested in seeing the tale of Roddy St James, a loveable rat who lives his life as a pet.

In February, 1945, one of the fiercest battles of the Pacific theater of World War II occurs on the tiny island of Iwo Jima. Thousands of Marines attack the stronghold maintained by thousands of Japanese, and the slaughter on both sides is horrific. Early in the battle, an American flag is raised atop the high point, Mount Suribachi, and a photograph of the raising becomes an American propaganda piece  to the war-sick Americans. Three surviving flag raisers, Rene Gagnon, John Bradley, and Ira Hayes, are whisked back to civilization to help raise funds for the war effort. But the accolades for heroism heaped upon the three men are at odds with their own personal realizations that thousands of real heroes lie dead on Iwo Jima, and that their own contributions to the fight are only symbolic and not deserving of the singling out they are experiencing. Each of the three must come to terms with the honors, exploitation, and grief that they face simply for being in a photograph.

To do a film review involving British director Ridley Scott one normally will always be pleased with the effort and in general this was the case here. He has come along way since his days as a TV commercial director. His most recent effort illustrates why he is currently the master of big budget CGI (Computer Generated Images) films. Five years ago he enthralled us with Gladiator and his talent for creating a hero in a period piece is evident once again. Set during the great crusades when religious wars were ruling the earth (not unlike today in some cases), we are taken on a journey where Orlando Bloom (lord of the rings trilogy) stars as "Balien of Ibelin", a blacksmith who finds himself learning the's List). When his father dies in the course of defending his son during battle, Bloom inherits a family reputation of responsibility and respect his father earned as a lord. 

Film reviewing “The Debt” starring Helen Mirren as a retired Mossad secret agent (Rachel) was always going to be exciting and i can happily report she gives perhaps her finest performance to date since “The Queen”. The storyline centres around three Mossad agents Rachel, David and Stephan who in 1966 are sent on a mission to hunt down a Nazi war criminal and bring him back alive to face justice in the courts. The notion of loyalty to family both past and present, country and colleague is the key concept presented in “The Debt” directed by John Madden. Madden’s last major film was the acclaimed “Shakespeare In Love” and the wait for another success has been worth it.
