1st better than the second?
12 December 2014
Warning: Spoilers
So, after watching the first film on DVD, I had to go and see the 2nd! However, I didn't find myself laughing as much as the first time round, and for me I feel it was no longer about their 'horrible bosses'.

If you think the film continues with the original story, you are wrong. The 3 men try to launch their own Shower buddy product, and when they go to get it invested into, it backfires. The original cast is still the same, but 2 new characters are added in, and the father and son duo create the new storyline. The 3 men threaten the father by kidnapping his son, even though his son knows about it. After what seemed to me like a very long main story, it finally got good at the end, when the father is killed and the son attempts to get the 3 men arrested, which also backfires. The two horrible bosses from the first film are still in the story line, but it is not about them any more. And for me, I think that ruined the whole story when they become freelance workers, and not as much humour is there any more.

I rate the film 7 out of 10.

Need to see HB 2!
4 December 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I decided t watch this film, only because the trailer for the second film looks hilarious. Basically,3 high school best friends are always talking about how much they love their job, but hate their bosses(hence the title). All 3 of the men star in other comedy films, including 'This is where I leave you' which for me was a smash hit! So eventually, one of them come up with the idea of killing their own boss, which doesn't go well at first, so they decide to hire an assassin. But, that goes even worse, as he is not an assassin, and then they meet a guy who says he is an assassin, but turns out to be a piracy copier. The 3 men don't have the best of luck, until they decide to take it into their on hands, and kill someone else's boss, other than their own. For one of them, it goes to plan in a very random twist that got me laughing my head off. But not so much for the other two, instead, one boss is blackmailed, and the other is saved from death.

To be honest with all of you, it's a very random storyline, but it's a perfect comedy, which my boyfriend and I loved! If you want to watch a comedy that includes action, sex and drama all in one, then this is the film you want to see. Now, I can't wait to see Horrible Bosses 2! Hope you all enjoy both of them!

Nightcrawler Brilliance
10 November 2014
Warning: Spoilers
The film starring Jake Gyllenhaal is pure perfection! If you have a passion for crime, action and the news, Nightcrawler is the one to see.

A desperate nobody looking for a job, turns his life around in the most dangerous way when he comes across a news team filming a local car crash. He will do anything for money, and become's a news cameraman, following all of the most gripping cases, beating the police to the crime scene.

Until one night, he encounters himself in the attack itself, and is forced to hide away from the suspects. He catches their faces, and withdraws the decision to hand them in, but to instead hunt them down and make even more news. He watches thrilling murders happen before his eyes, and even causes a couple just to make himself some more money. A believable man will always work hard for money, but is he a man you can trust with your life? All is revealed in this twisted and graphic film - it is not for the faint hearted!

Lost (2004–2010)
9/10
Season 1 complete
9 November 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I have just finished watching season 1 of Lost, and I am instantly about to start season 2!

A plane crashing on an island can lead to very many experiences as you will see in the first season, but what on Earth does the 'monster' really look like? What is a polar bear doing on the island? What is going to happen to Walter, Michael, Sawyer and Gin? All will be revealed.

My favourite character in this series is Charlie, a former rock star, addicted to heroin but changes his life around and becomes attached to Claire, before being dragged into big trouble on the island... Once Claire has her baby, he fights to protect her son, Arron. I don't think Hurley is really bringing bad vibes to the island after his past, but will the numbers effect what is inside of the hatch? I'm also hoping that none of the main characters are killed, as all of them contribute perfectly to the program, as Boone has already been killed by his own actions.

On to the next series now, I'm hoping for another good watch in series 2, and maybe new characters added in.

Jason Bateman perfection!
28 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
A film based around four adult brothers and sister, that are forced to be brought together on the day of their fathers funeral. A comedy romance, that mix's perfectly. The star of the film, Judd played by Jason Bateman, completes the film with his emotionally confused character, as he also recently found out that his wife has been sleeping with his boss. His 3 siblings, I personally have never seen in other films, but they too were amazing. The sister, played by Tina Fey, is brought back to her past as she reunites with her ex-boyfriend, the man she was forced to leave when he suffered from a terrible brain injury, leaving him forgetful and 'lonely'. A brother who's' wife is Judd's ex- girlfriend, and another brother who is the hopeless one of the family. The mother Hilary, mourns over her husband by giving specific sex details about their life, making the whole audience laugh, but making her children feeling extremely awkward! She also gives everyone a really random shock during a fight that occurs on the front lawn, beware! I may have spoiled it for you all, but I definitely recommend this film to everyone, and I could guarantee you would enjoy it. The trailer explains it all, if it takes your fancy, why not watch it at your local cinema!

Annabelle (I) (2014)
4/10
Trailer too scary?
11 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I haven't seen the film, and I don't plan to either. Is it really a true story? I know the trailer says 'Before The Conjuring, there was Annabelle', now I've seen The Conjuring, and it wasn't fun! As soon as I saw the Annabelle doll, I didn't want to watch. I'm not too bothered by story's of china dolls, and how devil spirits are supposedly best suited to them, but surely the doll doesn't look like that in real life? Why would your husband buy that for you? It doesn't make sense. Obviously, like other scary films, it involves a baby and has old fashioned music. However, the trailer to me shows how Annabelle takes horror to a whole new level. Random people walking through their house while they sleep? Dressed in white robes? If it is a true story, my head would be messed up! I rate the trailer at a 4, I think it's too much just for a trailer.

The Equalizer (2014)
7/10
Out of storyline
9 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this on Sunday at Showcase cinemas. I enjoyed parts of the film, but to be honest a lot of the film could have been cut out. Robert has turned into a killer to try and get Teri her freedom, but she disappears for almost half of the film! While she is gone, Robert kills the whole off Teddy's gang, however Teddy doesn't feel the need to kill Robert, and they can even sit across a dinner table from each other and talk like nothing has happened. At first, you think the bad guy is Slavi, as he is the man mentioned most by Teri, but that's the twist, when he kills him very early on in the film, we realise there is someone bigger than him. Denzel Washington can be the perfect actor for any film, but I don't think this film was his best compared to Flight which I loved! A Walk Among The Tombstones was released around about the same time as The Equalizer, and there was no need to, as they are pretty much the same. They both have gory scenes with a lot of blood, and they are both after 1 person or gang. All action films have the same predictable story! It's the actors that make the film great, including Martin Csokas calm but deadly character, and an innocent Chloe Grace Moretz. There are a few comical lines that made me laugh, and the audience also found them amusing, and there are parts that could make you feel faint! My favourite part was the ending, when Robert finishes his mission in slow motion, in a rainy warehouse, with the soundtrack blaring in the credits (Eminem- Guts over fear ft. Sia) I did prefer Liam Neesons A Walk Among Tombstones, as it was a more believable story to follow. I would recommend this film to action film lovers, but what I will say is not to expect anything too special. Overall I rate the film 7/10, as I enjoyed the action packed parts, but believe it went of the story line slightly.
