This Means War

When two CIA operatives fall for the same girl they make a pact and agree to let her decide which of the two to settle for, and they're not going to interfere with each others dates... yeah, right.  This is actually very very funny and I wasn't expecting it. Some of the stunts they pull off in order to sabotage each other's dates are brilliant and using the full surveillance of the CIA they quite quickly escalate out of control. If I'm honest I went into this expecting a chick flick but the focus was much more of the chaos surrounding the guys , something that made this thoroughly enjoyable. 

The Dark Knight Rises

Fours year ago today I wandered over to my local cinema at 8:50 in the morning grabbed a cup of tea and sat down to watch The Dark Knight, which was excellent.  Well this is the exact same team that made that, so... should you expect anything different?  No, not really this is yet another excellent film from Christopher Nolan, it's dark, edgy and ultimately very satisfying.

My only criticism would be that I saw the ending coming a mile off and it would be nice to have another motive for the villain other than destroying Gotham City, but it was still a very good way to end the trilogy.  Who will pick it up from here?

Film 242/365, Day 256/365 – Warrior

Incredible!  It’s like having a work out whilst watching a film, I felt every blow and tensed for each hit.  The story itself is excellent and the characters are all quite believable.  But the thing that really sets this film apart from the others is the fights.  They are so intense that you feel like you are in the cage with them.  I loved it.

Synopsis:  Two brothers from a broken home end up on a collision course which will end in the Cage!  They both have their own problems and they both have something to fight for, but they both can’t win!
