Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Silent Hill : Revelation 3D

Genre : Horror Mystery Thriller, contains strong violent twisted horror & extreme bloody gory scenes

Cert: BBFC Rate 15 cert - i would say 18 cert

Story: In Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, Heather Mason (Clemens) and her father (Bean) have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn't fully understand. On the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by horrific nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she's not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her forever.

Likes : This sequel wasn't to bad, i love the fact that the storyline went into more depth with the character of Sharon more than the first one did now all grown up & change her name to heather to protect her from whats after her played by Adelaide Clemens .Now i found her performance in this film spot on you could see the fear in her eyes & she fought for courage to once again step into the demonic world of silent hill once again to get her father back play by Sean Bean fantastic actor who get taken to silent hill for some dark purpose.Carrie-Anne Moss play Claudia Wolf a priestess that want to bring a god forth to destroy Alessa the demon,but there is something not right about her when you first see her she hiding something is got this sinister side to her.(Cameo rolls) Malcolm McDowelle plays the grandfather Leonard of Vincent who played by Kit Harington who seemly falls for heather & tries to help her.Rachel Sellan plays a victim on the table that turn into a Mannequin Girl,Jefferson Brown plays Detective Santini & Milton Barnes plays Detective Cable,Heather Marks plays the trap girl Suki who got lost in the fog of silent hill, Roberto Campanella play the red Pyramid head.This film along with it concept of a demonic world set a tone & darkness & evil, we see a new array of weird creature including this weird Mannequin spider creature which was serious screwed up.With dark concept i wouldn't say it was scary it was more intense edge of your seat moment specially with the screw up nurse that only move when there is sound, but ya this film is worth watching because it wasn't a bad film at all.i love the concept of silent hill it not like resident evil were it just zombie & virus, it a world based on dreams that arent dreams but world on top of each other in different realities like a twist torture nightmare world & demonic world full of demonic creature or spirits hell bend on destroy the world it the creepiness of silent hill that sets this story above all horror nightmare stories out that has different layer where mystery & danger lurks around every corner you notice that the storyline is focus mainly around heather on who she really is.
Dislike: The only things i could say is the fact it was over before it started it was a little short in storyline it lacked that wow factor like the first film did & its jumpiness like the first film had altho it did give more detail to the girl & who she is, it was slightly slow in place's as well.

Overall : A worth watching film for the back ground story of the little girl to the truth of who she is, some good gory sense & nightmare creature.but dose lack the wow factor as the storyline was a little two short.

Rating: 4 out of 5 for horror/ 9 out of 10 for concept & find the truth about the girl.

 

 

Movie News : Disney has brought the right's to make another 3 starwars films

Now is everyone thinking what i'm thinking........over kill of a saga?  it has been confirmed that Disney have brought the rights to make another 3 films following after the return of the Jedi starring Luke sky-walker, Leia & Han solo. Now seriously Harrison ford is in his 70s i cant see him return to play this role there is no way in hell can they replace him with another actor, Carrie fisher must be in her 50s now pushing 60, same with mark Hamill he must be push 60 now.I personally think Disney are going to ruin one of the best films in history by over killing a saga making 3 more films,im shore a lot of people would agree with me & some wouldn't but i don't think another 3 films should be made because its over kill even tho im a star-wars fan myself, that's just my opinion.

 

Disney is buying Lucas film, the company behind the Star Wars films, from its chairman and founder George Lucas for $4.05bn (£2.5bn).

Mr Lucas said: "It's now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of film-makers."

In a statement announcing the purchase, Disney said it planned to release a new Star Wars film, episode seven, in 2015.

That will be followed by episodes eight and nine and then one new movie every two or three years, the company said.

The last Star Wars film was 2005's Revenge of the Sith, and Disney said it believed there was "substantial pent-up demand".

George Lucas launched Lucas film in 1971 and the first Star Wars film was released in 1977.

"For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next," Mr Lucas said.

"I've always believed that Star Wars could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime."

Mr Lucas will continue as a creative consultant.

Kathleen Kennedy, currently co-chairman of Lucas film, will become president of the firm and will be the executive producer on the new Star Wars films.

She worked on the Jurassic Park and Back to the Future franchises and co-founded Amblin Entertainment with Steven Spielberg.

When the later Star Wars films were released in the 1990s and 2000s, although they did well at the box office, they were generally not well-received by fans.

But Josh Dickey, film editor at Variety magazine in LA, said that Disney was a "great fit" to update Star Wars.

"They're so good at branding and brands. They're so good at working with existing intellectual property and making it resonate with fans and marketing it very well," he told BBC World Service radio.

"They're not as good at creating original content, except for their Pixar division.

"I think if you bring together the minds from Pixar [and] the minds from Disney, the news that Disney is going to reboot Star Wars was a lot more exciting to fans than just 'there's gonna be another Star Wars'

Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: James Bond: Skyfall

Genre : Action Adventure Crime, NOTE :BBFC has given this a 12A (parents be advised that this film dose contain strong violence, mild sex scene & people being killed.)

Cert: BBFC rate 12A - This should be a 15 cert

Story: In Sky fall, Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.

Likes : Now i found this film a little better than the last one,with this James bond you find out a little of bonds past as its a cat & mouse chase to take down an old mi6 agent.Along with some good moments & good banter which was funny it set a sense of humour & action which was in fact quiet balanced well in this instalment of James bond.I still think Daniel Craig is the best bond since sir Sean connery,he has that cold ruthless but funny loving side to him, with this film daniel craig brought this film back to it best like the first film but with a really emotional ending.Judi Dench returns as m who life is in danger from her older 00 agent Raoul Silva played by Javier Bardem who character seems to want revenge against mi6 & m for leaving me to die. Ben Whishaw play a younger Q with a witty humour as he banters with bond.Ralph Fiennes plays a MI6 mister Gareth Mallory who character seem to have a hinden talent in the field. Bérénice Marlohe plays Sévérine a beautiful woman that got caught up on with the wrong people which set her fate in motion.Naomie Harris plays Eve her character dosent seem right for the field but she dose become a famous character in the bond film which i wont say because it will ruin the film.Albert Finney play the game keeper Kincade who was a family friend to bond.Ola Rapace play patrice who at the begn of the film bond is chasing.Along with some good action scene,fighting & some C.G.I with the komodo dragons this wasnt a bad film for a bond film altho it did lack some action.but i would say this is a worth watching film, as it is better than the second film & an old classic bond car makes apperance as well in this film so keep an eye out for it.

Dislike: Slighty a little slow,it did lack action altho there was some action.

Overall : A worth watching film,fight scene were good & good funny banter.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 for storyline/ 8 out of 10 for action & theme.

 

Top 10 Movie Moments Of 2012

Here we are, in october of 2012. nine months have gone and we still have two months ahead of us. So, where does that leave us in terms of movies? Well, admittedly, the first half of the year is always pretty slow. We’ve seen quite a variety of films over the past nine months and while not all of them brought something exciting and unique to the table, a fair amount of them definitely had their moments, moments that made the price of admission worth it and moments that make you happy to be a moviegoer.
On that note, I present to you the Top Ten Movie Moments of 2012  They are arranged in no particular order, but remember that these are the top movie moments, not movies.

Please note that there are spoilers for each particular film in this blog.

1.The Cabin In The Woods

There’s a lot to like and appreciate about Drew Goddard‘s new horror film The Cabin In The Woods. From its tongue in cheek humor to its over the top madness, the film is entertaining on many counts. Hands down though, the best scene in the film, and one of the best movie scenes of 2012, has to be what I call the “monster extravanganza.”
There’s a point in the film where Marty and Dana are riding down an elevator into an underground facility. On the way down, they pass by hundreds of glass cases all housing different types of monsters. In fact, they pass by just about every type of horror icon/monster imaginable. Once they exit the elevator, they are cornered by a security team and to escape, they decide to release all of the creatures from their glass cases.
What ensues is absolute mayhem, as vampires, witches, demons, mutants, werewolves, unicorns, mermen, goblins, giant snakes, mummies and more descend upon the facility, decimating anything in sight. It’s as hilarious as it is horrific and it is simply a blast to watch for some but personally was the worst film ever.

2.The Engineer Awakens In Prometheus

Prometheus had a number of awe-inspiring moments. Visually, it was magnificent and on a storytelling level, it completely captivated me. Though there were many contenders for best moment of the film, the one I settled on was when the Engineer awakens near the end.
For one, the amount of build up and anticipation to this moment is almost unbearable, so when the towering behemoth finally stands up and comes to life, we’re pinned to our seats. The fact that he proceeds to absolutely shred David and the rest of the crew to pieces only makes this moment that much more electrifying, shocking and terrifying.
We truly feel the Engineer’s fury and anger as he decapitates David and goes on to take care of the rest of Weyland’s gang. To see this creature in action, ripping through Weyland’s crew with ease, is truly a sight to behold.

3.Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Assemble In The Avengers

Admittedly, most of Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers can be classified as spectacle. The film had a ton of “wow” moments and that we owe lot to marvel . That being said, one of the standouts, for me at least, was at the very end, when our mightiest heroes come together, or assemble, if you will, to make one last stand in hopes of saving New York with the camera circling around them..
The final assault, when played out in 3D on an IMAX screen, is nothing shot of awe inspiring. Though it could have used a couple more edits as it does run a bit long, from beginning to end it’s a non stop rollercoaster ride that shoves us right into the middle of the mayhem. Featuring some of the best effects and destruction…well, ever, the battle for New York City is truly a triumphant sequence and one that really defines the term “Hollywood blockbuster.”
When you couple all that with the fact that we get to see our favorite heroes all assembled in unity fighting a common enemy, you get a truly “great” movie moment. One that makes you want to stand up and cheer.All tho Disney change one bit on Th DVD version which to be honest was completely stupid in the name of kids watching it, there was far more violent scene's in this film then seeing a agent begin stabbed in the back with a spear by Loki.

4.The Ship Splits In Half In Titanic

Watching that ship split in half was breathtaking the first time around, but in 3D? Well, that’s a whole different story.
Honestly, Titanic is just as effective as it was back in 1997. The sinking of the behemoth that is the Titanic is a harrowing scene and it’s brought to life in a whole new way with the use of that third dimension, which Mr. Cameron so effortlessly inserts into his 90′s classic.
Though many are probably overly-familiar with the above mentioned scene, it had been some time since I’d seen it. Watching it in the theatre, and in 3D, all these years later, was really something special. To know that Cameron crafted such a large scale, complex and effects laden sequence almost 15 years ago, really puts things into perspective. For a film scene from 1997, this is some really impressive stuff. But then again, it’s James Cameron; did you expect anything less than impressive?
Whether you watched it 15 years ago or mere months ago in theatres, the sinking of the Titanic, especially the moment where it splits in half and the events that immediately precede, make for some incredibly entertaining, powerful and epic movie moments

5.White Apes Meet Their Match In John Carter

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be the first one to admit that John Carter had its fair share of problems, many problems actually. But that doesn’t mean that there weren’t a few triumphant moments sprinkled throughout. One scene in particular that I enjoyed quite a bit, especially in 3D, was the scene of John vs. the white apes.
Both the effects and use of 3D upped the ante in this scene and provided for a very thrilling couple of minutes. Though most of the film is marred with severe issues, it does have several entertaining moments and this is definitely one of them.
Seeing our protagonist go up against these mammoth creatures, and then swiftly deal out death to them, is another great example of what it means to watch a true, big budget, Hollywood blockbuster.

 

 

 

6.Any Fight From The Raid: Redemption

The action genre has gone down the route of generic and stale as of late, which is why it’s so gosh darn refreshing to see a film like The Raid: Redemption. The Indonesian film that took the film world by storm was director Gareth Evans‘ showcase of the traditional martial art Pencak Silat and is both exhilarating and thrilling.
It’s truly hard to pick just one kill or fight from this film, as almost all of them can best anything seen from Hollywood from at least the past five or ten years. The fighting here is so well choreographed and so expertly executed that it’s literally impossible to take your eyes off the screen for even a second.
The fight pictured above, between Rama, Andi and Mad Dog, is probably the highlight of the film but like I said, the furious, fast-paced fighting is a marvel to behold in a film that truly feels refreshing and dare I say it, re-defining

7.Finding Out Tom Cruise Can Sing In Rock Of Ages

Though he may be “wanted dead or alive” by Katie Holmes‘ lawyers, Mr. Tom Cruise is most certainly singing those words to a different tune in Adam Shankman‘s Rock Of Ages.

The usual action star, sometimes dramatic actor, showed that he actually has the pipes to pull off rock star, as he fully embodies the personality of Stacee Jaxx. Though skeptical at first, I thought Cruise absolutely nailed the role. His pipes were pleasing on the ear and his rock star persona could easily have many an audience member fooled that he actually fronted a band at some point in his life.

While stunts and lavish set pieces may be his forte, Cruise reached new heights with Stacee Jaxx, giving us not only the best part of an otherwise crummy film, but a wildly entertaining and enjoyable performance.

Each time he belted out a tune, it was music to my ears. His rendition of Dead or Alive is easily the highlight and watching one of Hollywood’s biggest stars take on such a role, and succeed like he did, makes for another, immensely satisfying movie moment. Proof below that tom cruise can sing & is singing in rock of ages

 

 

 

8. Dredd throwing Caleb over the side

Now i found this scene to be the best scene to portray dredd as have no conscience,no messig around what so ever & no remorse to throwing anyone over the side. It the moment after ma ma & her men with Gatling guns shot the hell out of the place, her right hand man goes in with a few men, you here a couple of shot then you see dredd drag Caleb kick & scream held by his neck from the smoke & throws him over the side, it just the look on ma ma face that say it all as she watch dredd just walk back into the smoke like it was nothing, it the look on her face who the hell have a f**ked with.That to me was a moment in the film you think to your self sitting in the cinema, ma ma you've just picked a fight with the wrong person.

 

 

9.Is That Johnny Depp In 21 Jump Street?

Sure, we all knew Johnny Depp would have a cameo in 21 Jump Street, but did anyone know which character he was until it was revealed at the end?

Going into the film I knew that Depp had a small role, but right up until the end I was puzzled and confused, I couldn’t figure out when, where, or how he would show up. When the reveal finally came, it was a shock not only to me, but to most of the audience members in my theatre.

21 Jump Street was throughly enjoyable and still stands as my favorite comedy of the year, hands down. There were truly a ton of very funny and laugh out loud moments, but for me, the highlight was the reveal of Johnny Depp, who I had been searching for the whole film. Little did I realize, we had already seen him multiple times in earlier scenes, we just didn’t realize it. Or at least I didn’t.

Depp isn’t the only surprise happening here though, we also realize that two of the bikers are actually undercover cops. It’s a scene full of surprises and the fact that Depp plays the part to perfection, before going down in a blaze of glory, makes it even more enjoyable.

 

 

10.Man vs. Wolf In The Grey

There’s something incredibly enticing about watching Liam Neeson kick ass. I’m not sure what it is, but the actor, even in his old age, seems to be very adept at it. So adept in fact that this year, he decided to take on one of mother nature’s most ferocious creatures: wolves. While watching Neeson take on cardboard cut-out baddies is a ton of fun, watching the man take on a wolf is something else entirely.
Though the scene that I’m referring to, the one near the end, fades to black before we see the outcome, it’s deeply chilling and immensely satisfying. It’s almost poetic in the way director Joe Carnahan frames it. The chills running through our spine as the wolf pack surrounds Neeson feel just as cold as the snow on the actor’s forehead. As he prepares to say goodbye to the world, and he accepts his fate, the haunting piano chords playing in the background envelop us in the scene, causing total immersion.
Man stares at the wolf, wolf stares back at man. “Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I’ll ever know. Live and die on this day. Live and die on this day,” whispers Neeson, before charging head on into battle.The other good thing about this scene is at the end of the credits you see both the wolf & nesson lying on the floor half dead, but you can see the wolf breathing heavy like it was badly wounded or dieing but it leaves you wondering is nesson character still alive?

10 Stars That Turned Down Legendary Roles

Will Smith - Neo in 'The Matrix'

 

Will Smith has starred in some of the biggest moneymaking blockbusters of all time, from 'Independence Day' to the 'Men in Black' franchise, but he had the opportunity to have another legendary franchise at one point in time.
Smith was originally offered the role of Neo in 'The Matrix,' before turning it down to make the notorious flop 'Wild, Wild West' alongside Kevin Kline. The huge success of the franchise hasn't seemed to bother Will all that much. Will has said, “You know, 'The Matrix' is a difficult concept to pitch. In the pitch, I just didn’t see it. I watched Keanu’s performance – and very rarely do I say this – but I would have messed it up."

Matt Damon - 'Avatar' and 'The Dark Knight'

 

With Academy Award acclaim from the outset of his career, thanks to penning and playing the lead in 'Good Will Hunting,' Matt Damon is no stranger to cinematic success, especially when you consider he has starred in the 'Ocean's' franchise, the 'Bourne' trilogy, and 'Saving Private Ryan.'
Damon did, however, pass up on two of the highest-grossing movies of all time. He turned down the lead in James Cameron's 'Avatar' (the highest-grossing film in history) due to a scheduling conflict with 'The Bourne Ultimatum;' and he passed on the role of Harvey Dent in 'The Dark Knight' due to filming conflicts with Clint Eastwood's 'Invictus.'

Jack Nicholson - Michael Corleone in 'The Godfather'

 

One legendary actor had the opportunity to play one of the greatest characters in cinematic history before another legend was handed the role of a lifetime.
Jack Nicholson, not Al Pacino, was the first one offered the role of Michael Corleone in 'The Godfather.' Nicholson turned it down because, as he once said, "I knew 'The Godfather' was going to be a great film, but at that time I believed Indians should play roles written for Indians and Italians should do the same." Considering Jack appeared in the likes of 'Easy Rider,' 'The Last Detail,' 'Five Easy Pieces,' 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,' and 'Chinatown' within a handful of years of 'The Godfather,' he obviously survived passing on the role.

Johnny Depp - Ferris Bueller

 

This is a hard switch to picture, but it would have definitely changed the face of one of the biggest comedy hits of all time; Johnny Depp was originally offered the lead in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' before Matthew Broderick ended up landing his career-defining role. Like Smith, Damon and Nicholson, Johnny Depp seems to have landed on his feet since then.

Leonardo DiCaprio - Dirk Diggler in 'Boogie Nights'

 

Leonardo DiCaprio starred in the film that stood as the highest-grossing film for years and the blockbuster that made him a bona fide movie star, 'Titanic;' but, the film he passed on to make it still stands as the biggest regret of his career.
Leo was offered the iconic role of Dirk Diggler in Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Boogie Nights' before Mark Wahlberg dug into the starring role. DiCaprio told GQ, "'Boogie Nights' is a movie I loved and I wish I would’ve done...I’m a huge fan of [director] Paul Thomas Anderson, but the first time I met him for that role I hadn’t really seen much of his previous work. Now I love that movie."

Molly Ringwald - 'Pretty Woman' and 'Ghost'

 

Believe it or not, 80s "it girl" Molly Ringwald of 'Pretty in Pink,' 'Sixteen Candles,' and 'The Breakfast Club' fame, was offered the leads in both 'Pretty Woman' and 'Ghost.' Ringwald's decision to pass on both of those roles certainly didn't help her career, but those decisions helped to make Julia Roberts and Demi Moore breakout Hollywood stars

 

Kevin Costner - Andy Dufresne in 'The Shawshank Redemption'

 

Kevin Costner was one of the biggest movie stars on the planet for the majority of the 80s and the early 90s. Sadly, Costner's reign took a devastating blow when he decided to pursue his disastrous passion project of 'Waterworld' (one of the biggest bombs in film history), instead of taking the legendary role of Andy Dufresne in 'The Shawshank Redemption.

 

Emily Blunt - Black Widow in 'Iron Man 2'

 

Successful, young British actress Emily Blunt of 'The Devil Wears Prada,' 'The Adjustment Bureau,' and 'Looper' fame, missed out on the opportunity to be a part of a massive franchise. Blunt was originally offered the role of Black Widow in 'Iron Man 2,' which ultimately went to Scarlett Johansson, because Blunt already had a scheduling conflict with 'Gulliver's Travels,' a film that would go on to be a box office bomb

 

Sean Connery - 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Matrix'

 

Screen legend Sir Sean Connery could have had two late-career blockbuster franchises under his belt in addition to his decades of hit movies. Connery was offered both the role of Gandalf in the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy and Morpheus in 'The Matrix' trilogy. In the years since turning down the roles, Connery has admitted to regretting his decisions

 

Tom Selleck - Indiana Jones

 

It may be hard to wrap your head around it, but Harrison Ford was not the first actor that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas pursued for the role of Indiana Jones in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.' 'Magnum P.I.' star Tom Selleck was offered the genuinely iconic role first, but he had to decline due to scheduling conflicts with his hit TV show.

Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Paranormal Activity 4

Genre: paranormal Horror, contains strong paranormal violence & dark concept

Cert: 18 cert

Story: It has been five years since the disappearance of Katie and Hunter, and a suburban family witness strange events in their neighborhood when a woman and a mysterious child move in & all hell breaks loss as strange thing start to happen around them.

Likes : I was a big fan of the first film, fan of the second film ,i wasn't to much with the 3rd film i think the ending of the 3rd film ruined & now this 4Th instalment of paranormal activity, to be honest there is not much i can say in the word of liking this film other than the fact i still find Katie Featherston absolutely gorgeous as ever, even tho she playing the demonic ghost of Katie from the first film.Kathryn Newton plays Alex the older teenage girl of the family across the street that get all this trouble when this boy turns up to stay with them Brady Allenwho plays the boy Robbie who from the get go you can see there is just something not right about this kid, Matt Shively plays the friend of boyfriend of Alex who helps her video tape everything,they start pick up some strange stuff happen on camera.Now some of this film was OK where other just weren't but this film was far from perfect in scares like the first film.

Dislike: One this film lack the scare factor for me, it was so boarding to watch & had no jumpy moments what so every, i through they mite of improve with the failure of the end of the 3rd film but this seriously was the worst pile of crap Ive ever seen, it felt lazy & the storyline was lacking in horror, it felt like because the first two film's were such successful they try to think well that make the film any way we can & people buy into it,to be honest it felt like a bad version of grave encounters feel they've tried to copying off another horror film to make this work, even tho i think Katie is beautiful & has this great acting skill for a menacing character in her own right, this film failure to excite me in fear & suspense & its lack that dark menacing edge which sinister had which to be honest was far better than this paranormal activity 4 film. In my opinion this film should of gone  straight to DVD because it wasn't by far a cinema realise. I think its had its day from the first & second film, after that this series of film in my mind have gone down hill it was a big let down in storyline & pace was to slow & predicable.

Overall : It depends on what scares you,i didn't find this film scary, it lack jumpiness & horror,it wont appeal to everyone,but i wouldn't waste you money at the cinema with this one,wait for the DVD realise.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5 for horror/ 3.5 out of 10 for entertainment & storyline.

Gerry Barnaby's Film Review : End Of Watch

Genre: Crime Drama Thriller, Contains strong languge, & strong violent scenes

Cert: 15 - 18 cert

Story: From the writer of Training Day, End of Watch is a riveting action thriller that puts audiences at the center of the chase like never before. Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña star as young LA police officers who discover a secret that makes them the target of the country's most dangerous drug cartel.

Likes : This film from the pointview of two police force officer in america stumble apoun a cartel bussiness & get them self in to alot of trouble,things take a very nasty climatic ending.Jake Gyllenhaal plays officer Brian Taylor, he play this cork ass copper that likes to film everything & get a the other officers nerves a little, Michael Peña plays he's partner Mike Zavala who thinks his partner is funny they been friends for years but get caught in this mess.This is not a bad film to watch,it has it moments where you think what the hell is going on,you kind of think to your self what the hell are these guys doing mess with the cartel after they screw with arrest warant from the drug inforce warning them to stay low,unfortunatly the end comes to a cinmatic fight for survival as the cartel puts a hit out on them,its a tipical police shot out film that been done before but is not a bad film in all,it dose have the odd violent scenes that you see with most cop films,this film is very dark & gritty style of film.

Dislike: the fact it was a little slow, & the camera work was shoddy at time you couldnt see what was going.

Overall : Some fast paced actions, gun shot outs, all in all not bad but not that good.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 for entertaintment, 5 out of 10 for action/police drama

Gerry Barnaby's Film Review : Ice Age 4: Continental Drift

Genre: Animation  Adventure  Comedy, contain animated fighting safe for kids.

Cert: U cert

Story: Scrat's nutty pursuit of the cursed acorn, which he's been after since the dawn of time, has world-changing consequences - a continental cataclysm that triggers the greatest adventure of all for Manny, Diego and Sid. In the wake of these upheavals, Sid reunites with his cantankerous Granny, and the herd encounters a ragtag menagerie of seafaring pirates determined to stop them from returning home

Likes : I'm a big kid at heart i love ice age, this 4Th film is full of fun for all the family of all ages, it makes you cry laugh your head this is one film you can not knock as a bad film. Ray Romano returns as the voice of Manny the adult mammoth, John Leguizamo voice of Sid the sloth, Denis Leary voice of Diego the sabra tooth, Seann William Scott voice of crash the possum, Josh Peck voice of Eddie the other possum, Peter Dinklage (star of game of thrones) voice of Captain Gutt the pirate the baboon, Wanda Sykes voice of granny the old loath, Jennifer Lopez voice of Shira female pirate sabra tooth, Queen Latifah voice of Ellie the adult female mammoth, Josh Gad voice of the hedgehog, Keke Palmer voice of Peaches the teenage mammoth manny & ellie daughter, Nick Frost voice of Flynn the pirate elephant seal, Aziz Ansari voice of Squint the pirate rabbit, Drake voice of one of the teenage male mammoths, Nicki Minaj voice of Steffie teenage female mammoth, Alan Tudyk voice of Milton / Hunky Siren,Ester Dean voice the female sloth siren, Kunal Nayyar voice of Gupta the pirate badger,Rebel Wilson voice of Raz the pirate kangaroo, Eddie 'Piolin' Sotelo voice of Uncle Fungus sloth, Joy Behar voice of Eunice female sloth, Alain Chabat voice of Silas the pirate pelican, Heather Morris (star of glee) voice of the blonde teenage mammoth Katie.Mainly through the fun of the character of this film it has to be the squirrel that makes me laugh the most trying to get this acorn but ends up getting in to trouble going after it, its just like the old road runner cartoons where the coyote is trying to get road runner but ends up blow him self up or get hurt trying to get him, it the same way with this squirrel going after this acorn absolutely funny as hell.

Dislike: nothing bad to say on this one.

Overall : if you looking for a fun family film this is one for you,it has the laughs,the fun & adventure for all the family.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for funniest momemts, 10 out of 10 for family entertainment.
