Indiana Jones is back and better than ever. The great chase sequences and brilliant jokes are back along with some great characters. The plot is a little thin but the Indy we know and love is back to show a new generation that he is the ultimate hero. I think the Aliens were a good idea and thankfully they didn't make it too E.T. like and it managed to fit into the story. The Jungle Chase rivals the Tank Chase and Mine Chase and it's good to see the bugs, daring chases, memorable villains, and brilliant set pieces back for a return. But as I gradually watched the film I realised something was missing. I couldn't put my finger on it and still can't. I don't know what it is but there was something missing that was present in the other 3 films. Was it because the Nazis were missing? the Special Effects were different?, the Aliens changed it? I don't know. I think that the music was missing. The Jungle Chase was a bit quiet and the Raiders March wasn't played very much. Johnny Williams did let me down. However, Indy's back and he's much better than I thought he would be. Indiana is the ultimate hero and his return is one of the best in the series. Bring on Indy V.

Beowulf is another film from director Robert Zemekis. He has used the same animation technique as used in the Polar Express. Beowulf is fantastic. The detail and care taken when animating these characters has been brilliant. At times I did think these men were real people. The plot is a little bit thin but the action leaves you on the edge of your seat. Don't be fooled by the 12 rating. It's the first time I've seen animated blood and guts and the language used in it is a bit unsuitable for young kids. Beware: It gets very noisy and could frighten kids.

Anyway, on the bright side, it's full of interesting characters and has a fantastic climax.

By the way, I don't know why everyone is making a fuss over Angelina Jolie. She's in 3 scenes and that's it.

Thanks for reading!

Resident Evil Extinction is an okay movie. The characters are interesting and the action is brilliant. The problem is it's a little too predictable. The director uses the following movie tricks which have been used in just about every horror movie I have seen:

a) Slow motion movie trick

b) The open the door trick

c) Mistaking the mirror for a real person trick

d) The out of no-where zombie trick

The movie plot seems to have been used time and time again.

The human race have been destroyed and only a few survivors remain. They have an bunch of flesh-eating zombies on their tale and it's up to the survivors to kill them.

On the bright side, if angry, half dead zombies and sexy looking heroes are your thing then you'll enjoy Resident Evil Extinction!

Thanks for reading.

I felt Gabriella was tossed to the sidelines. Troy and Gabriella's relationship was a subplot. The main story, I felt was Sharpay's attempts at getting Zac Efron's attention.

I thought the songs were okay but no where near as catchy as the first one.

Singing a break-up was terrible. It would have been much more powerful if it was spoken.

I've heard people mention this before, the editing was pretty bad. It was all over the place during the songs.

Another thing, Ashley Tisdales character seemed like a wee silly and annoying 7 year old compared to HSM1.

But anyway, Girls will like it but I thought it was okay.

Thanks for reading.

P.S You'd think they would think of another name than Fulton.

Fulton and Bolton sound the same.

High School Musical is a good movie and one of the best T.V. Movies ever. The songs, characters and plot are all interesting and catchy. It's got girls going crazy. But the problem is, Disney Channel are doing it to death. It's on every day. Sing Along, Dance Along, Pop-Up Facts edition. Adverts are on nearly 50 or 60 times a day in the UK about it. Disney are really milking it.

HSM 2 isn't out yet in the UK yet and I think that it will be pretty bad.

Anyway, HSM is a good movie. The cast is spot on. The songs are really catchy and they stick in your head.

Thanks for reading.

I don't really like sitting reading words for 2 hours but my friend suggested watching Apocalypto so I thought I'd give it a go. The film surprised me. It was easy to understand, the action was non-stop and the characters were very interesting. I don't know if its accurate but I don't think it really matters. Once the film gets going it doesn't stop for breath. Jaguar Paw is a brilliant main character. Some scenes may be a bit hard to watch. Seeing a man have his heart cut out, his head cut off and then shoved down stairs was pretty gruesome. But hey, that's 18's for you.

If you enjoyed Braveheart then this will be a movie for you.

Thanks for reading.

Armageddon is a great film. It is one of the best in its genre. My favourite Michael Bay film used to be Pearl Harbour, but not anymore. Basically, an asteroid is heading for Earth and it's up to about 8 or 9 ordinary people to go into space, drill a hole in the asteroid, plant a bomb and hopefully save the world. The chance of a bunch of ordinary people being asked to complete such a dangerous task is unlikely, but who cares? The CGI could not be better, the casting is superb and there is just the right amount of comedy without making it silly. At times it does get too Star Wars-ish but the rest is very realistic. It is a superb film. I really don't know why it has had such bad reviews.

Deep Impact has the same premise but in that film it was like a stone was going to hit the Earth.

It is no where near as good as Armageddon. This film is brilliant!

Prepare to be amazed.

Thanks for reading my review!

I never really watch thrillers apart from United 93 But this movie was on T.V so I thought what the heck and I watched it.

It blew me away. The Sixth Sense is excellent. It is unique, chilling, and you can feel the trickles of sweat rolling down your back. I take my hat off to Willis and Osment for their performances. They suited the parts perfectly. And also congratulations to M. Night Shyamalan for a superb story and for excellent directing. Seeing dead with blown out brains, burned faces and scars all over their body appear from nowhere was frightening. However I thought it was a very good idea. If you like this genre you'll like it. But if you're like me and you don't like this genre still give it a go, you'll like it also.

Thank you very much for reading!

For a while we were used to the same layout, 3 friends, dumb one and so on...... but along came The Suite Life. Something different for a change. As usual I won't give it away, it just spoils it but basically it's about two twins Zack and Cody Martin's lives in a hotel full of funny characters, events and jokes.

Just a few things that annoy me.

First of all, that studio audience, AGAIN. It's the same as Cory in the House which I slaughtered. They just ruin it. Full of silly toddlers and adults laughing. Why can't they have it like Malcolm in the Middle? Some jokes are no way near as funny as the studio audience makes them out to be! Another question who's idea was it to put those English twins in it. Apparently they're the best looking girls in school, I don't think so. And those annoying English accents really get on my nerves. Plus that whole copying the others dialogue thing, is STUPID! Get rid of them!

Also, if you watch some episodes carefully, you can see Dylan and Cole Sprouse laughing when they're not supposed to.

But overall, I really like it. It's fun, entertaining and definitely worth a look. So I hope this review helps you. Go ahead and watch The Suite Life of Zack and Cody!

I was never a Simpsons fan, that doesn't say I didn't like it, it just means I never got round to watching it.

But today I thought being a movie lover I might as well go and see it.

I laughed the minuted the 20th Century Fox logo went up (you'll see why I laughed when you go and see it) to the end credits. It was hilarious.

I won't spoil it because I hate it when people do that.

Get ready for action, laughs, romance and a new emotional side to the Simpsons family.

I will definitely watch the programme now.

So what are you waiting for, go and see it! You won't be disappointed! Thanks for reading!

If you came out of the cinema thinking the original version was good, then head straight out and by the director's cut. There's more character development, a much more impressive music score, great special effects and this film contains some of the best battle scenes ever captured on screen.The cast are superb and fit the characters perfectly. The climactic battle leaves you on the edge of your seat. We really feel for those who lose their lives. It is the perfect action movie combining action, drama, suspense and love. So don't just limit yourself to the original version, buy the director's cut.

I hope you enjoy it.

I saw this film recently, and I have to say I was pretty impressed, however there are just a few problems I would fix.

1. Too Much Comedy

Far too much of it. Jack just looked too drunk and clumsy. There were very interesting and edge of your seat scenes such as the Maelstrom Sequence. But then its spoiled by a silly joke.

2. Deaths

I have to say, Jones, Soa Feng, Norrington and Beckett had pretty unimpressive and anti-climatic deaths. I think they could have been improved a bit.

3. Length

Almost every person has mentioned the length. It's just too long. Half the stuff they didn't need.

Overall, I thought it was really good, just a few minor adjustments would make it better.

Thank you for reading.
