After watching Planet of the Apes, I have to be honest and say I was wasnt looking all that forward to Rise of the Planet of the Apes. However, within minutes I was pretty gripped on it. It really had a blockbuster feel to it. James Franco plays his part well and as the film progresses, the story evolves. All this in a San Francisco backdrop rather than a space adventure, I would say the film worked a lot better than its predecessor 10 years earlier.

The film can be summed up very easily. Its about a group of mates who go out like any other weekend and get high on a variety of drugs.

If I’m honest, not much happens in the film, there is no real lesson to be learned and it certainly doesn’t grip you from start to finish. The film focuses entirely on drug use and going to a club and getting ‘trashed’. Something which many 18-30 year olds do every week. Once the film had finished it felt like I had just been a tag along on someone’s night out.

Human Traffic is certainly not a film to get the heart racing. If there is a queue of Human Traffic, I’d rather drive!

The film is like a diary entry. Outlining the main characters little thoughts. There are some great scenes about learning about relationships and dealing with parents and understanding that they are just children grown up a bit.

Submarine is a nice film to watch. Its that simple. Its not going to blow your mind, there are no special effects. Its a film which you will enjoy watching and will leave you feeling a little more positive than when you started.

I myself only actually own one blu-ray and that says something as I am a huge film fan. This brings me onto my next subject which is the blu-rays every film lover should own.

Gladiator – Purely for the sand, the fighting and Rome.

Avatar – When I watched this in 2D at the cinema it blew my mind. The colours made me think I was in a dream.

The Matrix Trilogy – This is the one blu-ray I actually own, and its three Its worth it just for the scene where Neo and Trinity break Morpheus out of the Agents building, the bullets, the water… buy it!

Finding Nemo – Its pretty much what blu-ray was made for, vibrant colours and animation, a guaranteed winner.

Planet Earth – You’ll feel like youre there, its a journey.

Once the film was released I heard nothing but glowing reviews of the film saying that its actually pretty, pretty, pretty good. However, I decided to boycott it and go for the alternative. Catfish is a movie about facebook, but shows the possibilities which come with what you can do with it. I could not possibly give anything away about the film other than tell you that Catfish is the real facebook movie of the year. From the start you wonder what on earth you are watching but as the movie goes on it unravels like a present on Christmas day.

Let me take a moment now to warn you of definite spoilers to people who havnt seen the film. I was really enjoying the film, until about the point where Jacob and Marlena jump off the train. The film completely changed from that point on, the scenes seemed cut short, loose and rushed. It seemed to me that the director was on a time scale and therefore the last 20 minutes should have lasted an hour. It was a case of jump off the train, make out, get caught, get back in the circus, kill the bad guy, the end.

On that note I would just like to point out the worst scene in the film. The elephant picking up a crowbar and hitting August with it to kill him. At this point, if im honest, the film lost me, and dropped about 2 points from a 7.5 to a 5.5.

There are so many lessons to be learnt from the film. But the one thing that stood out to me this time was the fact we are all responsible for our actions. After going on a massacre of revenge killings, Richard (Paddy Considine) is left with the last man who had any involvement in the death of his brother. Although the last man did not directly bully Richards brother. He played his part in his death because he did not stop the abuse his ‘mates’ were inflicting on him. The final scene defines the whole film and is extremely powerful. Richard breaks down and says he cant kill the last man, instead the last man must kill him so he can be with his brother.

The acting is nothing short of 10/10 and Paddy Considine became one of my favourite actors with his performance. You can feel his love for his brother and the way his death has effected him. There are a string of great quotes throughout the film but the real tearjerkers are in this final scene where Richard asks the man whether his brother was calling for him when they tormented him. The man replies “yes” and Richard replies “he still does”.  The scene grabs you by the throat and doesnt let go until the credits roll.
