I haven't actually read all of the first book, but I was so enticed in it i'd thought i'd see the film and compare the two. I must say, the film was sensational.

The film started as the book started, with Katniss(Jennifer Lawrence) and her sister, Primrose (Willow Shields),in their small house. Both actresses played their parts exceptionally well, especially Jennifer, perfectly casted as Katniss.

Throughout the film there was action and enticement on offer. There was also emotion felt, and scenes that kept on the edge of your seat. Best part and arguably the saddest, Rue's death, so emotional and directed perfectly, well done Gary Ross for that one.

Overall the whole film is a success, and i hope it grosses so much money. Well, it seems to be doing that anyway as I write this. Excellent.

Roll on 2,3 and 4!!! 10/10 5 Stars *****

Cool Runnings.

I first saw this film as a random watch because i was pretty bored on a Weekend afternoon. And boy, was I immediately hooked. It's one of those rare films that you could watch over and over again without getting tired of it, and that is really what i liked most about Cool Runnings.

I also loved this movie because of the fact it was based on a true story. These movies always leave me wanting to know what actually happened in real life, if i didn't know already, which allowed me compare how close the feature was to the actual event. Apart from the characters having different names, the other parts were pretty much accurate, and that always gives a film a boosted rating from me.

The plot was well put together as well in my eyes, mainly because the characters all seem to have fitted in with the storyline anyway. You could clearly see from the start who the 4 main characters were going to be, and it remained that way throughout.

The characters themselves were perfectly casted, particularly Rawle D. Lewis (Junior Bevil. His ability to play his personality is an all-time favourite. The late John Candy was very good as Irv Blitzer as well.

Overall this film is an all-time great, and will be for years to come.

5 stars ***** 10/10

No word of a lie, i was scared before i even sat down to see this high anticipated movie. As far as i was concerned i thought that if i hadn't seen the actual play, i wouldn't understand it. This review will be my most thorough to date, reviewing every square inch of this movie.

Firstly, CASTING. Before going to view The Woman In Black i took some time to read other peoples reviews in local newspapers, and the thing that really stood out for me as a criticism was the fact that nearly every reviews mentioned Daniel Radcliffe not being right as the main part, saying he was too young to be cast as a long term father. I went to see if these critics were just out there to criticise Radcliffe and i discovered that i felt he done a great job as a major lead role, obviously having enough experience from blockbuster film series Harry Potter. I did see the critics point, but i did think they were a tad harsh. 9/10 Secondly, PLOT: Personally, i thought the plot was clever, yet quite easy to follow. Apparently, according to friends, they had changed the ending. I observed that, yes, the ending was different, but it didn't bring my overall rating of the film down at all. It was still spine-chillingly good. 10/10 Thirdly, SETS/LOCATIONS: Loved them. Thought that the ideas gone into where each scene is set were exquisite. No criticisms. 10/10 Lastly, EXPECTATIONS: I truly expected the best from this film, and the best is what i got. It was a tense, scary and overall brilliant affair. Throughout the movie you could expect at parts something was going to jump out and make us gasp, but i couldn't predict exactly when, and even though i knew it was going to happen, i still jumped in shock. The film exceeded my expectation and was well worth the money i paid. 10/10 5 STARS *****

First off i thought this film was going to be good, but i couldn't really see a story to it from the trailer. The overall film looked promising but i thought the plot would let it down a bit. Oh how i was wrong....

What i actually saw was a very clever, well put together production. The special effects weren't over exaggerated as i sometimes find in these sorts of films and i think the overall effects done the plot well. I also liked the fact that there were really only 3 characters in the film, of course there were others but the 3 boys were on their own for around 75% of the movie, which i find doesn't confuse the plot too much. The plot was actually one of the strongest aspects of this movie, it was simple yet clever, and there were no empty points as far as i could see.

The only and very small criticism i would have about this movie is that it was quite short, maybe a low budget movie like this would be expected to be no longer than 90 minutes long, but this was still quite short as far as low budget movies go.

Other than this i thought the film was excellent and fully deserves a 9/10. Well Done Indeed.

Sherlock Holmes lived up to my expectations, clever, funny and action-packed to the rafters. The first one was good enough, and when i learnt that a second was in production i was buzzing to see it. It was one of few films that i felt confident it wouldn't fall into that dreaded sequel "curse", and when i saw it on Wednesday, it didn't disappoint one little bit! I was hooked from the start and i was that way until the end where Holmes (Robert Downey JR) printed a '?' on Dr Watsons work. This surely means an arrival of a third film? I think Stephen Fry done an excellent job as Mycroft (Holmes' Brother) and as did Jared Harris as prof. Moriarty (Holmes' Arch Enemy).

Overall this film is definitely one of my films of the year. 10/10 & *****

This film is possibly my favourite film of all time. i have always been a big fan of Michael Caine i think he's excellent and has always been that way. But i think his performance here is especially good, hes got the right voice for the lead role. He also has those facial expressions which you can read like a book, which i love! Also the sets and locations were excellent and well chosen! The directing and producing i thought was one of best bits, if i am totally honest i couldn't spot one thing wrong. They done a VERY thorough but a really good job as well.

Overall this movie is my favourite film of all time, and certainly one of those films i will NEVER get tired off. So to the people who created this masterpiece in film you didn't just "blow the doors off" you definitely "blew it apart". Very Well Done!!!

The Inbetweeners Movie. Well What Can I Say? Well, i know 1 thing i can Definitely say, HILARIOUS!!

The movie is by far the best film of the year in many different ways. Obviously it was going to be funny when i went to watch it, but i didn't expect it to be the way it was. it was slightly emotional as well, knowing that film was, well, that as far as the Inbetweeners was concerned even though talks were rumoured about a 2nd Movie, but were quickly dismissed.

All the characters were brilliant and i praise all the actors and actresses on their work. I also praise the writers and directors that produced a masterpiece of film making!

My favourite scene is easily the dancing to the girls bit, so funny and a stroke of genius when put together. Loved it. This Movie gets a 10/10. No second thoughts about it!!

Mock The Week Is Brilliant And Hilariously Funny! I Don't Know How No One Can Dislike It, And I Mean No One. The Comedians Picked For The Show Are - To Put It Straight - Geniuses. Hugh Dennis Is My Favourite Because He Is So Clever, But I Also Like Milton Jones,Russell Howard, Chris Addison And Frankie Boyle. Rory Bremner Is Also A FANTASTIC Impersonator.

Now Onto Dara O'Brian, The Iconic Host Of Mock The Week. He Provides The Bit That Holds The Show Together, And It Works SUPERBLY. He Is The Perfect Host For The Show In My Opinion! Mock The Week Has Always Competed For Viewers Against Other Panel Shows Like 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' And 'Have I Got News For You?'. As Much As I Like These Two Shows Mock The Week Comes Out On Top, Every time! I Rate It 10 Stars Because Of The Utter Genius That Is Put Into This Show!

This show is very, very funny! I like the idea of having 2 of the main characters as their real-life names (Lee Mack And Tim Vine) and these work very well together.The reason i love Not Going Out is because its cleverly written and well put together as a series. I think Miranda Hart is very good as Barbara and when Lucy first appeared in the show i thought it would get even better, and it didn't disappoint one bit! This show provides clever story lines, painfully funny scenes and great acting- for this i give the show 10/10 Trust me you will be hooked the first time you see this and if there is ever a night it isn't on, you will want it on.

Wild At Heart Was Absolutely Brilliant In The First Series. Moving, Drama And Cliffhangers Were Perfectly Acted And Planned Out. Series 2 Was The Same And Again Provided Everything You Would Expect From This Type Of Show. Series 3 Was A Little Weaker But The Last Episode Was Brilliant, Even Though They Killed Off Sarah Trevanion (Amanda Holden).

But To Be Totally Honest The Show Hasn't Had The Same Sort of Spark As Other Series. When The First, Second And Third Series Were On I Was Hooked. But Now I Rarely Watch it. It Isn't The Same Anymore.

I Suppose The Drama Is Still There But The Feel Of It Isn't. The Only Other Good Thing Is The Superb Acting From Stephen Tompkinson (Danny Travanion) And Deon Stewardson (Anders Du Plessis). Olivia And Evan, Who In My Eyes Held The Show Together, When They Were Young Were Adorable And Very Well Acted. But As They've Grown Up The Show Has Fallen And Fell Apart.

Im Sorry Wild At Heart But Now It's Isn't Really Worth Watching. Sorry.

Lee Evans Was Clearly At His ABSOLUTE Best On This Show. He Had The Crowd Almost Falling Out Of Their Seats In Hysterical Laughter.

To Me, XL Tour Was The Best Show He's Done. The Funniest Joke? Easily The One About Parcelforce, This Was Clever, Witty And Very Very Precise. As Are All His Jokes.

The XL Tour Holds The Record For The Biggest Comedy Tour And You Can See Why. The Facts And Figures Are Astounding And Some Will Blow Your Mind. He Is, To Me, The Greatest Comedian And Certainly The Sweatiest To Ever Appear On Stage.

XL Tour 2005 Lived Up To The Expectations I Thought It Would. So For Gags Flying Every Minute And Unbeatable Stand Up Comedy. Buy This, You'll Laugh So Much, You'll Have To Pause The Show To Calm Down, Well At Least I Did Anyway.

When I First Saw The First Episode Of The Inbetweeners I Expected It To Be Funny, But A Little Disappointing, But Obviously I Was Wrong. It Was Great.

The Inbetweeners Follows A Group Of 4 Boys Through Their Time In 6th Form. The Group Consists Of Will (The Smart Yet Sensible One) Simon (In My Eyes A Hopeless Romantic) Jay (The Compulsive Liar) And Neil (The Relatively Dumb Genuinely Misunderstood One)All 4 Of Them Are Superbly Acted By Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley And Blake Harrison.

I Think The Best Episode Or As It Seems The Funniets Episode Is Either 'Thorpe Park' or 'Will Is Home Alone'. Both Of These Provide Clever Writing And Painfully Funny Lines.

I Rate The Inbetweeners 10/10 Because Of The Inch Perfect Scripting And Superb Acting.
