Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: The Family

Genre:  Comedy Crime Thriller
 
Cert: 15 cert, I would say this is an 18 cert due to content of this film.
 
Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
 
Sex & Nudity: No nudity is shown but there is a brief sex scene between a teacher and student up against a classroom door.

Violence & Gore: The movie is a about a family that is somewhat gangsters.
There is flashforward and scenes involving realistic brutal violence that are not considered to be comical.
A woman steals from a grocery store and then blows it up.
A girl beats a guy with the tennis racket.

Profanity:  A lot of usings of F-word, but it's mostly considered to be said for comic effect.

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: few people seen drinking beer

Frightening/Intense Scenes:  Final shooting sequences are to be intense.
 
Story: A mafia boss and his family are relocated to a sleepy town in France under the witness protection program after snitching on the mob. Despite the best efforts of CIA Agent Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones) to keep them in line, Fred Manzoni (Robert De Niro), his wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer) and their children Belle (Dianna Agron) and Warren (John D'Leo) can't help but revert to old habits and blow their cover by handling their problems the "family" way, enabling their former mafia cronies to track them down. Chaos ensues as old scores are settled in the unlikeliest of settings in this darkly funny film by Luc Besson (Taken, Transporter).               

Likes : The actors were all first rate and seemed to really enjoy their roles. However, they were undone by a plot that made very little sense. I often wonder if the writers ever watch the movie when it is finished, it dose have it moment but the storyline & plot is very flawed, it has its moment that your find funny but this film is one film your find you Iver like or hate, it not going to be for everyone.


Dislikes : as I said this film as a lot of flaws, Top off a shaky premise and poor writing, there is a lengthy reference to "Good fellas," as if to slap the audience in the face with the reminder that DeNiro once starred in some of the greatest mafia movies ever to be starring in a plot line of a mafia family with poor writing with no sub plot to understand what's going on other than the fact the family was move every 90 days.
The actor done a pretty good job but the sadly let down by the storyline. The plot seemed to promise a good black comedy but it mostly fell flat. you find yourself ignore the screen to what's going on as it dose get boring. Another problem is the script hyperactivity creates more than it can service.
The problem is you probably won't remember seeing The Family an hour after you leave the cinema, this film was OK but it was far from brilliant & over rated.

Overall : Promise to be a good black comedy but fall short of that depending on you taste of film's.
 
Rating:  3 out of 5 for entertainment / 4.3 out of 10 for storyline/concept

It's up to Papa, Clumsy, Grouchy, and Vanity to return to our world, reunite with their human friends Patrick and Grace Winslow, and rescue her! Will Smurfette, who has always felt different from the other Smurfs, find a new connection with the Naughties Vexy and Hackus or will the Smurfs convince her that their love for her is True Blue?               
 
Likes : The smurfs are back!!!!! as I seen a lot of reviews for this film haven't been good or avenge ratings, for me growing up on the smurfs as a kid I love the slap stick comedy this film has although im on the fence to say that which one is better the first film or the second, lot of people say it not as good as the first film was but this is still great family entertainment.
Although this mite not be a film for adults this is one of those films your kids will love & laugh over as the crazy antics of the smurfs to get back Smurfette voiced by the one & only beautiful Katy Perry back from the evil & clumsy Gargamel play Hank Azaria  with his crazy cat, this time we are introduced to two new smurfs called the naughty's Vexy voice by the beautiful
Christina Ricci & Hackus voiced by J.B. Smoove. together it just mayhem & chaos.
This film dose show an insight to Smurfette back ground as she use to be one of the naughty's sent by Gargamel to lure the smurfs to a trap but became one of the smurfs. If your look for great entertainment & funny laughs you cant get better than this film really as all family entertainment film go, this is one of the best of a long line family films around really dose keep the charm's of the smurfs from when it was a cartoon with brilliant performance from Jayma Mays, Brendan Gleeson, Neil Patrick Harris this is one film worth watch with the family.
I do believe this film is under rated because it worth more that what it been rated but it depend on the type of films you like. This is a recommend film for you kids
Dislikes : The only thing really it hard to say which was better the first film or the second, it kind of up to viewer to decide that.

Overall : Brilliant family entertainment, funny moments that will make you laugh, crazy antic of the smurfs that will make you kids laugh.

Gerry barnaby's Film Review: The Starving Games

Genre:  Comedy  
 
Cert: 12A
 
Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
 
Sex & Nudity: these films typically contain cartoonish penises and/or penis jokes and/or cartoonish jokes

Violence & Gore: flagrant violence against humanity

Profanity:  hip slander like "beyotch" "twerk" etc

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: wacky jokes about the hip weed that pander to the hip kids that smoke the hip weed
 
Frightening/Intense Scenes:  Officially Rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content, comic violence, language and partial nudity
 
Story: Set in the most depressing corner of a postapocalyptic future, our heroine Kantmiss Evershot (Maiara Walsh) volunteers to take her manipulative younger sister's place in the seventy-fifth annual "Starving Games." In doing so, she must leave behind her smoldering just-a-friend Dale (Brant Daugherty) and team up with the geeky baker's son Peter Malarkey (Cody Allen Christian) in a fight for her life. But wait, there's more! She could also win an old ham, a coupon for a foot-long sub at a six-inch price, and a partially eaten pickle! In The Starving Games, Friedberg and Seltzer's sixth cinematic spoof of box-office hits, the prolific parody duo has its sights trained on the adventure blockbuster The Hunger Games! It's all the laughs and half the calories as they sling dozens of cock-eyed, barbed arrows at sci-fi, action and fantasy films from The Avengers and Oz the Great and Powerful to pop culture characters and celebrities like Harry Potter and Taylor Swift
 
Likes :  After reviewing this film, some part were ok & as spoof comedy go there like a hit or miss as some time they can be over the top & just not funny. It dose its best to really take the piss out of a few movies like wizard of Oz, avengers, hunger games, lord of the rings & a few other films ya some part are funny but it the type of film that really dose depend on your sense humour.
I didn't laugh once throughout the entire movie. It was only when the bloopers were running that I was laughing.
And as such, then "The Starving Games" was a failure and as far from entertaining as a movie almost could be.
The acting itself was good enough, but people had very little to work with. And there were some great talented actors to the casting list, but ultimately no one really shined on the screen.
This im afraid this is iver a void or watch film if you intend to watch this film, like I said it ok in part but it like the film disaster movie spoof that just doesn't come off funny, the only funny thing for me was the out takes.

Dislikes : The only thing with spoof movies is once you seen one the rest just become the same old jokes & there is nothing new to seriously make you fall out of your chair laughing. Personally I would avoid this film if you looking a laugh's.

Overall : Dose try to hard to be funny but it not side splitting laugh out funny, but it just slightly ok
 
Rating:  3 out of 5 for Entertainment / 3.2 out of 10 for funny moment/storyline

 

 

Gerry Barnby's Film Review: Gravity

Genre:  Drama Sci-Fi Thriller, Warning this film is extremely disturbing & extremely intense & is not suitable for any one under 15.                
 
Cert: This film was given a 12A, but I would say this film is not suitable for any one under 15 due to contents of the film.
 
Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
 
Sex & Nudity: none

Violence & Gore: There are several lengthy sequences of destruction and action, with a few brief graphic images. Some of the details below reveal spoilers.

A group of astronauts are hit by debris. The space shuttle is destroyed and all except for two are killed. We briefly see two dead bodies floating in the shuttle. Very disturbing.

There are a few dead astronauts shown in a scene, with no blood, and they just appear to be frozen. Disturbing emotionally because of the loss of life, but not with the imagery.

An astronaut is seen with a large hole right through his helmet and head; this image is very graphic, but relatively blood-free, and subsequently not very disturbing.

Astronauts hit things in space with intense force, but wounds or physical consequences of these aren't seen, and it's not graphic at all, though they bounce violently off of various parts of the station and yell and scream in panic.

A woman inside a space station finds a huge fire. She tries to put it out with an extinguisher which throws her back into a wall, leaving a cut and bruise on her face.

Profanity:  One use of the 'f' word, (One actual usage, and one implied, under-breath cut out where we can see mouth movement but do not hear it), some uses of the 'shit' word, and various other scatological terms. No religious profanity.

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: A character briefly drinks from a bottle of vodka.
The aforementioned vodka is mentioned.
 
Frightening/Intense Scenes:  The sequences involving the destruction of the space stations are very intense.
The whole film has a very tense, disturbing atmosphere. After the first 8 minutes, the action and intensity is constant. Some scenes can also be very emotionally intense and difficult to watch. There are many claustrophobic scenes that could upset viewers.
A frozen dead body with a large hole right through his space helmet and head is seen in graphic detail, though without blood (or anything really) in the cranium, so despite it being potentially very intense under normal Earthly circumstances, is much less scary and disturbing than would normally be. This film is not suit for any one under the age of 15 as some scene are extremely disturbing & intense for the younger viewers.


Story: Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone - tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness
 
Likes : This film is a one of a kind, I don't think ive left a film emotionally drain, I think I left my jaw on the ground when I left, this film is seriously intense, emotional & frightening from the get go, what's makes this brilliant is it start off with this beautiful visual Cinematography of the earth with stunning effects everything is claim then it hit you in the face with a roller-coaster of intense frightening nail biting moment & emotions.
George Clooney as Matt Kowalsky bring an outstanding performance with some emotional scene that will shock the hell out of you this is exactly what you'd come to expect from the Oscar-winning producer and actor like George. He utilizes his wit and charm to be a lighter force of our dark tale, and is a perfect balance to Bullock's frantic demeanor.
Sandra Bullocks character you start to feel sorry for as you learn about her past but what her character is put through in this film is beyond shocking & a feet of courage against all odds to survive in space, I believe that this acting in this film she should get a Oscar for best supporting actress or best actress award for this film alone because her performance was outstanding really dose bring you to tears.
The intensely of the film alone seriously pulls you to the edge of your seat you find your self in shock as you witness the action on screen that bring a cold chill down your spine & really dose bring you to cry your eyes out because the intense emotional dark concept that this film brings. It also has that tragedy feel to the film which also adds to the emotional side, which is why this film is one of the best film ive seen in a long time that you will not be disappointed with, I highly recommend you go watch this in 3D at the cinema because its one of the most spectacular film ever this year.

Dislikes : Only one slight mistake which is a movie mistake, it only noticeable if you watch carefully but other wise you would notice that all, which is easy to over look because the film is brilliant

Overall : Emotional, extremely intense & frightening outstanding film you ever watch, a must to watch in 3D at the cinema.

Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: How i live Now

Genre:  Action Drama Thriller , Warning this film is shockingly disturbing & dose contant scene that may disturb some viewer
 
Cert: 15 cert, close to an 18 cert
 
Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
 
Sex & Nudity: There a brief sex scene, nudity

Violence & Gore: There is a potential rape scene, boy is seen getting shoot, a pile of dead body's, nuclear explosion, gun fire.

Profanity:  Mild to strong language in part of the film

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: pile are take as medication
 
Frightening/Intense Scenes: The dead body's & the nuclear explosion may be disturbing for some viewers
 
Story: An American girl sent to the English countryside to stay with relatives finds herself fighting for her survival as the UK turns into a violent military state

Likes : I can honest start of by saying wow Extremely strong movie, A remake of an award-winning book, the movie covers a world that could very easily become a reality, but hopefully only under exceptional circumstances this would ever happen.Saoirse Ronan's performance is outstanding as usual as she play a teenage who lost her mum at birth, she trouble by this with having ocd as well life for her is tough,.
Despite its genre, the movie was actually remarkably artistic - not just in the beautiful countryside that is so tragically spoilt by the outbreak of a massive global conflict, but also in its portrayal of the nature of war. Notably, the enemy is not identified once, beyond the fact that they are "terrorists." Our only interactions with them in the movie could imply that they are anarchists, but this is mere speculation. And it is not told from the military point of view, who might be used to threats like this, but rather from the point of view of the civilians, whose lives have been torn apart.
This film really push's the boundaries of being disturbing & haunting in place as you see a country being throw in to a war zone & the bodies are piling up, as we are taken on a journey of two girl trying to get back home but along the way it becomes a fight for survival.
I will warn you tho that this film is extremely disturbing in parts it will make you cry in other, it is beautiful made although a little slow you can look past that. The love making seen is brilliant done as well to show a tasteful loving moment, there are some scene that are highly disturbing & shocking but you have to expect that from the film concept. This is a film I recommend you watch as it a beautiful made film that you wont be disappointed in watching.
Dislikes : Nothing wrong with this film.

Overall : hauntingly disturbing & shock master piece of a film that a must to see.

A van door opens on a street where two men walk and a man in the van fires a cannon at the men, not hitting them but cutting other vehicles in half; the two men lie on the street and we hear that dynamite will be thrown into the van, and we see the van explode with a lot of smoke and flames.
Two men break into the Kremlin after bribing a guard with a pizza, they break a hole in a brick wall, place a quiet plastic-explosive that creates a bit of dust, and then enter a control room; they steal a nuclear device, escape, and blow up the entrance they created with a loud grenade activation.

Likes : Red 2, a sequel to the popular Red, has Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Mary Louise Parker, and John Malkovich back in the saddle, with Willis, Mirren, and Malkovich again dragged into their old jobs. Parker, who became Willis' girlfriend in Red, insists on going along. John Malkovich brilliant actor dose a good performance in trying to be funny but just came off a little weird, Anthony Hopkins is great; his role as Bailey is almost like Hannibal Lecter on happy pills. Helen Mirren is excellent yet again as the vicious Victoria and Mary-Louise Parker does well again as Sarah.
Watching this film you kind of notice Bruce Willis does, at points, come across uncomfortably & unconvincing; yet he's good in other parts of the film which your notices. The action scene are pretty good & its an enjoyable film although I found the first film better to be honest so it going to be one of those film you Iver like you don't like, it very rare for a sequel to excised the first film but it dose an OK job at that.
Helen Mirren is simply brilliant as usual managing to look elegant and be so dangerous at the same time like she was in the first film. The storyline was ok although a little flawed & messy in places it ok to watch for an afternoon film, which you mite like, be depends on your taste of film's.
 
Dislikes : To be honest it didn't have the same feel as the first film, I just found the first film better.

Overall : Action, guns, comical moments, if you like the first one you mite like this film.
 
Rating: 3.2 out of 5 for entertainment / 5.7 out of 10 for storyline.
