Fast and the Furious 6

I love this film series, well maybe except for Tokyo Drift (possibly one of the worst films ever) and i can not wait for the sixth to be released, so excited, and not just because they filmed some of this down the road from my house.

Anyway, the last time we saw our favourite street racers they were robbing the most powerful man in Brazil, nicking about $100 million and living happily ever after, well Brian (Paul Walker) and Mia (Jordana Brewster) were living on the beach and expecting a baby.

Agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) enlist the help of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) to help bring down a mercenary organization in return for full pardons for all of their crimes which have prevented them from returning to America. But there are some shock in store as the second in command to the leader of the mercenaries (Luke Evans) is Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) who everyone thought died in the fourth film (she also happened to be Dominic's girlfriend).

Tyrese Gibson, Chris Bridges, Sung Kang, Elsa Pataky and Gal Gadot are all back reprising their roles with Justin Lin behind the camera as director.

I am looking forward to seeing this film, its going to be good, well the action will be but maybe the story line won't be but who cares you don't watch these types of films for the story line anyway, but the trailer looks promising!

The film is due for release on the 24th May 2013.

Die Hard 5

Bruce Willis is back as our favourite cop John McClane in the 5th installment of the Die Hard franchise this one being entitled 'A Good Day to Die Hard'. I think the first Die Hard is one of my favourite films, or at least on of my favourite Christmas films, not only is Brice Willis great in it, but Alan Rickman plays a great bad guy, he is amazing in the film.

The basic story line around this installment is that John McClane's son Jack (Jai Courtney)  gets into trouble when he is in Russia, and being a good father John goes out to Moscow to help his son out, only to get caught up in a terrorist plot that is linked to his son's arrest.

Directing this installment is John Moore, written by Skip Woods and will also star Cole Hauser, Sebastian Koch, Yuliya Snigir and reprising her role as Lucy McClane is Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

The trailer doesn't really give much away apart from a lot of explosions and gun fights, but its what we expect from the Die Hard franchise and also from a Bruce Willis film, so whats not to like.

If you haven't seen any of the previous films i suggest that you do, at least the first one any way, you don't really need to watch them to understand the plot as its easy to follow but you should watch them because they are great films, well definitely the first film as its superb. I haven't watched the other 3 in years so will have to catch up on them. The films are always on TV so if you see it on i strongly suggest watching it, you won't be disappointed.

The film is set for release on the 14th February 2013.

New The Expendables 2 trailer has arrived

The trailer for The Expendables 2 has finally been released!!!
Sylvester Stallone's action packed band of mercenaries are back together again (with some new additions) back reprising their roles in the action packed film are Jason Statham, Brice Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jet Li with Liam Hemsworth joining the crew.

The first Expendables film was a brilliant team up of the best action stars at the moment and was just pure adrenalin fueled action through out so i am hoping for the same from the second. This is the kind of film that can get away with a bad story line because no one cares, they just want to watch the action and this is the film that delivers it. I hope we see more of Bruce in this film as he only had brief scenes so my fingers are crossed for some more of him. I am also curious how Liam Hemsworth is going to fit in this style of film because i haven't seen him in a film like this before so i hope he can stand his own ground against these action star heavy weights.

The Expendables 2 is set for release on17th August so don't forget to check it out!!

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!

Certificate: 12A  Director: Joss Whedon Cast: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffallo, Tom Hiddleston and Samuel L Jackson Distributor: Marvel Studios Running Time: 142mins

I have been looking forward to seeing this film for over a year practically counting down the days till i could see it. With this film if you haven't seen the other films that are part of the series Iorn Man, Captain America and in particular Thor to catch up on what has all ready happened prior to the film.
The story line to this film is the same as most of the Superhero films is the "end of the world" brought about by Thors brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston, this is where you have to have seen the film Thor to understand the family drama between the two) is after a cube of some sorts, now called the Teseract (seen in Captain America) which has enough power to end the world and he has teamed up with some form of aliens to take over the world.

The cast that has been assembled for this film is what really makes the film and the way in which Joss Wheedon has directed the film is brilliant, every character is focused upon at some point during the film and after the usual power struggles that are seen on the screen to unite as a team is one a brilliant thing, Whedon doesn't focus just on one of the characters but makes sure that they each have their share of screen time which is one of the critical things that make this film work. The Cast is superb and they work really well together even though the characters have really big egos on their own and you wouldn't think they would work well together and that is one of the doubts through out the film. Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark/Iron Man is brilliant as he always is, some great lines and jokes and he has great scenes with everybody, plus i love how he spends the whole film in a Black Sabbath T-Shirt. Chris Hemmsworth as the God of Thunder Thor arrives in a bolt of lightening to try and stop his brother from destroying the world. Chris Evans as Steve Rodgers/Captain America has arrived in the modern world not knowing what anything is all he know is how to save the world. Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye and Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romenoff/Black Widow are the master assassins who are member of shield, if you watch Thor closely you will see the Hawkeye's cameo and Black Widow was introduced in Iron Man 2 and are bad ass at what they do, i wouldn't want to mess with them. Samuel L Jackson as Nick Furry is the director of SHIELD and brings all our hero's together to save the world. Mark Ruffalo is the new guy on the block playing Bruce Banner/Hulk i think makes the film as the Hulk he has some great stand out moments and Bruce and Tony have some great screen moments together. It wouldn't be a Marvel film without a cameo from their creator Stan Lee so make sure you keep an eye out for it.

The big fight scene between the Avengers and Loki and his army is brilliant the special effects and how it has all been staged is fantastic especially some of the creatures from the other world.
I loved this film, the action was incredible and the story line was good as it made sure everyone linked together cohesively. I would suggest that everyone should go see this film.

Rating: 9.5/10
