Gerry Barnabys Film Review: DeadFall

Genre : Crime Drama Thriller,   Contains strong violence , sex scenes & mild to strong language

Cert: 15+ cert

Story: Siblings Addison (Eric Bana) and Liza (Olivia Wilde) are on the run from a casino heist gone wrong. When a car accident leaves their wheel man and a state trooper dead, they split up and make a run for the Canadian border in the worst of circumstances - a near whiteout blizzard. While Addison heads cross-country, creating mayhem in his wake, Liza is picked up by ex-boxer Jay (Charlie Hunnam), en-route for a Thanksgiving homecoming with his parents, June (Sissy Spacek) and retired sheriff Chet (Kris Kristofferson). It's there the siblings are reunited in a terse and thrilling showdown that pushes the bonds of family to the limit

Likes : This film start off reseasonly good sets the character of pretty well & the story plot which was like a bonnie & Clyde feel to it.Eric Bana plays the brother Addison who character seem to have a itchy trigger finger that will kill anyone that gets in he's way,Eric Bana performance as a psychopath person was good he seem to pull off the character quiet well.The beautiful Olivia Wilde play he's sister Liza, her character seem to have a dark past with her father abuse which Addison put a stop to in the end & turned them both to a life of crime,but she seem to what to break the bond & have a peaceful life when she meets jay played by Charlie Hunnam (star of son of anarchy) a former heavy weight boxer who was jail for fixing a fight who got realised but gets caught up in the whole mess,he's character also seem to have a conflict between he father Chet played by Kris Kristofferson a former sheriff who likes to hunt in he spare time playing he wife June played by Sissy Spacek her character seem to be the piece keeper in the family,which show a very strong character.The beautiful Kate Mara plays the sheriff's daughter Hanna who is a duty of the police unit who loves her father but hate being put down because she a girl & the only woman in the unit, her character seem strong in character & has fond memories of jay when they were younger.Treat Williams (cameo) plays hannas father Sheff Becker who love he's daughter & dosent want her to get hurt i think its why you see him treat her different in this film to the other guys in the unit. Along with its fight scene & chase this film waste to bad to watch which comes to a bloody end.

Dislike: The fact it was a little slow the plot was good but it was over before it started, for what this film was it could of been a little better done. It was to short for a crime thriller.

Overall : Not a bad film to watch,a little slow & short but it a worth watching film for an afternoon film.

Rating: 3 out of 5 for plot-line & pace / 6 out of 10 for entertainment

 

Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Twilight Breaking dawn part 2

Genre: Romance Fantasy Adventure Drama, (WARNING) Cert is a 12a but this film dose contain strong violent horror fight scenes of people getting killed, mild sexual scenes that may be unsuitable for any one under the age of 15 to view.

Cert: BBFC 12A cert, i would say maybe a 15 or 18 cert for the concept of this film on the safe side.

Story: Bella is enjoying her new life and new powers, after the birth of their daughter, Renesmee. Soon, however, their family bliss is threatened again, by a new menace. Vampire Irina believes a child like Renesmee could challenge the power and existence of the Volturi. As Irina rallies the Volturi to destroy this potential threat, Bella and the Cullens - together with any allies they can assemble - are preparing to fight a crucial, ultimate battle, to protect their family.

Likes : I really had to hold back the tears with this film it really was a beautiful conclusion of part 2 of twilight's break dawn, it had its funny moment when Bella after walking up found out that Jacob Black had imprinted on renesmee that when the hurt came when he made thing worst by saying the wrong things in front of her,what was even more funny is the fact the Edward was laughing seeing hes new bride act like this,it was seriously funny.Good thing about this film is the funny banter & action but it concept of beauty as she see things in a different way as a vampire, i think the concept was beautifully filmed. It also has moments that make you cry because it was so emotional.i didn't think to be honest i would like twilight because it look like another teenage girl flick movie but its really grown on me & become one of my favorite films.I love the way Jacob protect renesmee with his life because there was a future there with her, did you also notice she wasn't real in place's she was C.G.I blended with a real actress which was really clever because because she look so real.You also notice with the volturi they were up to something from the start.The one thing i did notice was how beautiful Kristen Stewart looked as a vampire who plays Bella Swan the mother of renesmee,completely stunning in this new film, Robert Pattinson playing Edward her husband was over joyed to see her alive & doing the things she dose which really had its funny romantic moments, Taylor Lautner return as Jacob Black the werewolf clan who has imprinted on renesmee who he has a destiny with & protect her with he's own life,you notice between the three their friendship becomes a lot stronger over time but still have the odd banter between each other,returning as the Cullen's Peter Facinelli as Dr. Carlisle Cullen, Elizabeth Reaser as Esme Cullen, Ashley Greene as Alice Cullen, Kellan Lutz as Emmett Cullen, Jackson Rathbone plays the wise cracking vampire Jasper Hale, Billy Burke returns as Bella father Charlie Swan, which was kind of funny moment was with Jacob which i could of sworn he would of ran off. Mackenzie Foy played Bella beautiful daughter Renesmee who is half human & vampire part immortal who has power of her own.This film is really good to watch altho the cert given for the film again was the right cert for the film should of been higher because of the violent battle between them & the voluri there is no way it should of been a 12a.But this film is so worth watching.

Dislike: It dose have moments where it slows down but it dose prick up & the BBFC Cert should of been an 18cert not a 12a due to the violence

Overall : A Magical fantasy romantic film that hits the heart in so many ways,not to be missed.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 9 out of 10 for storyline & fight scenes.

Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: The Sweeney

Genre : Action Crime Drama, contains strong language, medium sex scenes & strong violence

Cert: 18 cert

Story: A hardened detective in the Flying Squad of London's Metropolitan police. Based on the '70s UK TV show Sometimes you have to act like a criminal to catch a criminal. Ray Winstone (The Departed) and Ben Drew (Plan B) star as part of an elite police unit in explosive action film, THE SWEENEY. Also starring Damian Lewis (Homeland) and Hayley Atwell (Captain America: The First Avenger).

Likes : i didn't think i would like this film at first, but i decide to watch to to see what it was like , its pretty good, it has that lock stock feel to it but with a more darker underground London gritty theme to it. I was never much into the TV series of the Sweeney but the film version is so much better,i really do think they should use the cast of the film to do a new series of the Sweeney because these actors in this film were good.Ray Winstone plays Jack Regan a hard nose London cop that dosent take crap of anyone,his character was someone you really don't want to get on the wrong side of, Damian Lewis (homeland & dream catcher) plays the Sergeant on the squad Frank Haskins who struggles to keep the squad going because of their methods of doing things to bring down the criminals, Ben Drew (lend singer of plan B) plays George Carter a young recurit to the squad that soon hardens up to the job with his mentor jack, Alan Ford (cameo) plays jack informer Harry that tips him off of any criminal planing to robbery, Kara Tointon (cameo)(eastenders star) plays the girlfriend George Megan,Caroline Chikezie (cameo) plays Clarke squad member, Steven Mackintosh plays Ivan Lewis,this character seem like the type of person you just want to hit in the face,he's one of those people that are stiff dosent have a laugh type your see what i mean if you watch this film. Playing he's wife is the very beautiful & sexy (star of captain America) Hayley Atwell who play as part of the Sweeney squad Nancy who has a thing for jack.playing the criminal's Paul Anderson as Allen ex military type turn criminal, Ed Skrein plays he mate.along with it car chase,fight scenes, good banter this film isn't to bad to watch.normal with british made films there not normally that good but this one really is surprisingly good,it has the violence,the funny moment car chases you want in a drama action film.

Dislike: it was a little over the top sometime with the strong language but not a bad film

Overall : Not a bad film, if you like lock-stock films or layer cake this film is for you.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 for enetertainment / 7.5 out of 10 for action/ theme

Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: The Apparition

Genre : Paranormal Horror Thriller, Contains strong intense paranormal scenes.

Cert: 18 cert

Story: When frightening events start to occur in their home, young couple Kelly (Ashley Greene) and Ben (Sebastian Stan) discover they are being haunted by a presence that was accidentally conjured during a university parapsychology experiment. The horrifying apparition feeds on their fear and torments them no matter where they try to run. Their last hope is an expert in the supernatural, Patrick (Tom Felton), but even with his help they may already be too late to save themselves from this terrifying force

Likes : I'm going on record & saying that all the reviews Ive seen about this film say its a bad film & it not worth watch are completely wrong about this film,Ive seen all the reviews on rotten tomato it seem they always put a film down, so im going on record & saying this film isn't as bad as they make it out to be. This film really dose have it moments the generally have a intense frighting feel about it, the whole concept of this film where four students doing an experiment unwittingly open a door that shouldn't be opened & brought forth a evil force that wants to live is frighting. Ashley Greene plays the girlfriend who get caught up in the whole mess, Sebastian Stan plays the boyfriend who former girlfriend died in the experiment. Tom Felton play the tech paranormal expert who tries to trap the this evil force. Julianna Guill (cameo) plays the former girlfriend Lydia, Luke Pasqualino (cameo) plays Greg,Rick Gomez plays the father next door Mike with he little daughter Maggie played by Anna Clark (cameo) & Marti Matulis play the evil unseen force.The good thing about this film is it start off with a good start, then you think everything is OK as they move to the house a year later,then when all this freak stuff starts happen it really draws you in to an intense moment of fear,you start thinking what the hell is going on,as things start to get more intense this film throws you into a weird mind trip as the apparition is playing with their mind in order to take their soul so it can live in their world.This film is seriously intense & frighting in place's that make you want to hide behind the sofa.It set a tone for the film that some door should be left alone & some door should never be opened. purgatory is no joke there are more that just ghosts & demons there,there are things that are beyond evil what i mean is pure dark.the concept of this film set that tone as things start to get worst for the couple in the house.the ending will really freak you out & shock you.

Dislike: Just a little slow in places,but apart from that this film was good.

Overall : if you looking for a film that will freak you out & play with your mind this is one to watch atmospheric & dark tone that will leave you sleepless all night.

Rating: 4 out of 5 for entertainment / 8 out of 10 for chill's & intense frighting scene's

Michael Bay Re-Teams With His ‘Pain & Gain’ Star Mark Wahlberg for Transformers 4

A new logo for Michael Bay‘s Transformers 4 has hit, which can be seen above. I would describe it as functional rather than spectacular, but it does manage to combine the Transformers symbol and the number four, so it seems to work. If they are really smart they could call the movie Trans4ormers. See what I did there?
In other Autobot-inspired news, Mark Wahlberg has now been confirmed to star in the fourth installment of this successful franchise. Marky Mark roll out! Bay released this statement on his official website:

Mark [Wahlberg] is awesome. We had a blast working on “Pain and Gain” and I’m so fired up to be back working with him. An actor of his caliber is the perfect guy to re-invigorate the franchise and carry on the Transformers’ legacy.

Getting Wahlberg on board is a real coup for the robo-franchise, especially considering the charisma vacuum that is Shia Labeouf is reportedly wanting $18 million (seriously!) to return.
Filming on the movie is set to start in early spring, with a release date of June 27, 2014 penciled in. If you can’t wait that long to see Marky Mark and some Bayhem-style shit-blowing-up-at-sunset, then body-building action-comedy Pain and Gain hits theaters April 26, 2013.

 HOLLYWOOD, CA (November 8, 2012) – After an exceptionally successful collaboration on the upcoming "Pain and Gain," Michael Bay has cast Academy Award®-nominee Mark Wahlberg in the highly anticipated “TRANSFORMERS 4.” The film will hit theaters June 27th, 2014.

"Mark is awesome. We had a blast working on “Pain and Gain” and I’m so fired up to be back working with him. An actor of his caliber is the perfect guy to re-invigorate the franchise and carry on the Transformers’ legacy,” said Bay.

Bay will direct the next installment in the “TRANSFORMERS” series, which begins shooting next spring. From Paramount Pictures, a division of Viacom, Inc., in association with Hasbro, the film will be produced by Don Murphy & Tom DeSanto, Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Ian Bryce, and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Bay, Brian Goldner and Mark Vahradian.

Bay's first “TRANSFORMERS” film was a box office sensation in 2007, opening at #1 and earning more than $700 million worldwide. His second installment “TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN” in 2009 grossed more than $830 million worldwide. In 2011, “TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON” was an even bigger hit worldwide, grossing more than a billion dollars to become the 5th highest grossing film of all time. To date, the franchise has earned more than $2.6 billion worldwide.

From acclaimed director Michael Bay comes "Pain and Gain," a new action comedy starring Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and Anthony Mackie. Based on the unbelievable true story of three personal trainers in 1990s Miami who, in pursuit of the American Dream, get caught up in a criminal enterprise that goes horribly wrong. Ed Harris, Tony Shalhoub, Rob Corddry, Rebel Wilson and Bar Paly also star. The film is based on magazine articles by Pete Collins, with a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely and produced by Donald DeLine, Michael Bay and Ian Bryce.

“PAIN AND GAIN” opens in theaters everywhere April 26th, 2013.

Story: Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson).
