Film 309/365, Day 331/365 – Thor

Good action, plenty of humour and the best super hero, Thor.  It was a great taster of things to come, bring on Thor 2 and The Avengers, which ultimately that is what it is.  Here’s Thor, here’s how he got to where he is and this is what he can do.  Admittedly it’s not the best story but should give them plenty to build on going forward.

Synopsis:  Thor, the god of thunder, is cast out of Asgard for starting a war with the ice realm and sent to Earth to live as a mortal.  Whilst he is gone Loki sets about taking control of Asgard and is determined to make sure that Thor doesn’t come back.

Film 231/365, Day 246/365 – Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest

More swashbuckling mayhem with Captain Jack Sparrow!  Johnny Depp is once again brilliant.  As expected there are plenty of laughs, lots of action on the high seas and now more creatures with the Flying Dutchman and the Kraken.  There’s something for all the family!

Synopsis:  Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann have been arrested and are being forced to help a corrupt Lord find Jack Sparrow.  Jack’s got more problems however as Davy Jones is looking for him and is willing to release the Kraken.

Film 165/365, Day 169/365 – Deep Blue Sea

Still one of the best monster movies.  Obviously there are elements that are beyond stupid but that’s to be expected.  The things that makes this such a good monster movie is that the characters are all good, there is a fantastic atmosphere and it’s not just the danger from the sharks but the sinking underwater station as well.  Excellent fun.

Synopsis:  A group of scientists think they have finally found a cure for Alzheimer's by using sharks brain matter.  The only thing is they need to genetically alter the sharks to have large brains so that they could harvest enough.  Who would think that giving one of the most efficient killing machines on the planet a larger brain would be a problem?
