Upcoming British Gansgter film

oh boy I can’t wait for this movie to come out I really can’t firstly here is the trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsXz70afAm0

Right now let’s dive in, so if you don’t know the backstory of this then don’t worry because I will tell you, way back in the 50s and 60s there were the Kray twins Ronald and Reginald they basically ruled the East End of London becoming one of the most infamous gangsters in British history here is some more information about them, I would really recommend reading about it, it’s a fantastic piece of history and so I’ve been told my great grandad trained/taught one of them to box whether that’s true or not I don’t know but nonetheless it’s a fantastic piece of history to read on http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kray_twins 

Now let’s talk about the actors, I must say Tom Hardy has to be one of my favourite actors of all time, he has done another biographical film about another infamous person in British history Charles Bronson (Charles Salvador now since he changed his name last year) he is known as the most violent prisoner in Britain, if you haven’t seen the film Bronson I would recommend that as well and Tom Hardy plays him fantastically well, so Hardy in this plays both Kray twins. I really cannot wait for this movie it comes out September 11 this year, if your in to gangster films (like me) then you’ll love this, I hope you will enjoy this film when it comes out as it looks fantastic, but until next time catch ya later.

If I Stay the worst film I have seen 

I was bored and decided to view some trailers, I saw one for a film called if I stay, the film follows a girl played by Chloe Moretz who is involved in a car crash and I guess you could say she’s a ghost but anyway, the film is told through a series of flashbacks which I really can’t remember because the film was too long and too dull for me to handle, now don’t get me wrong but there were a few emotional scenes and with me being an emotional sponge when it comes to movies I kinda cried my eyes out at some parts of the film, so let’s dive in to probably the worst film I have seen ever.

So we follow a girl called Mia who is a cello prodigy she is waiting for a letter about her placement in Juilliard (a prestigious music school) one morning her family decide to go on a drive with it being a snow day and school is out for Mia and her little brother Teddy as they are driving thorough the woods the car they are driving collides with another car, Mia wakes up and finds out that no one can hear or see her, at the hospital Mia has 3 broken ribs a collapsed lung and internal bleeding, Teddy on the other hand is fine and conscious, through some flashbacks we see that Mia has a boyfriend called Adam, any way cut a long story short she has to decide whether she should wake up or go to heaven, halfway through the film and Teddy has died of a heamorage and Mia is still deciding on what to do, her grandpa comes in, now this to me was the most emotional part, the grandpa tells Mia that her dad made a sacrifice his job as a band member and bought her a cello, he then tells Mia that he wishes to make a sacrifice and tells her that she can let go. 

So anyway at the end of the film Adam comes to visit and plays her a song and then she wakes up deciding that she wanted to wake up instead of die. And that was if I stay and ohh boy did I hate this film, I got so bored with it I skipped major plot points because I was bored and don’t even get me started on the dialogue I mean talk about cheesy oh my god the whole film was filled to the brim with cheesy lines, any who I really didn’t like this not one bit the hospital drama was good I mean I cried a few times but apart from that nothing else happens the flashbacks are just dull and I think their more of a filler to the story, if the film focused on her decision in the hospital then I would of enjoyed it.

Now let’s talk about acting, wow and I mean wow the acting was poor I mean poorer than poor excluding Chloe Moretz her acting was fantastic, the kid who played Adam was ugh it was so bad I shuddered every time he he spoke, now let’s talk about target audience, trick question this because I think you already know the answer to this, teenage girls that’s who teenage girls who love films about true love and drama, this is really not meant for guys it’s more of a chick flick, there’s no action in it just a whole load of cheesy dialogue and I really mean a whole load, I shall post the trailer down below if you want to take a look at this god awfully bad movie umm oh yeah rating uhh this film was so bad I can’t even give it a rating if minus numbers were on scale I would give this film a minus 6 because it was god awfully bad any way let me know what you thought of this films did you enjoy it or didn’t you, are you an emotional sponge when it comes to films like these let me know but until next time catch ya later

The Usual Suspects Review (really really big spoiler ahead!!!)

I still can not get my head round that ending, I mean it was a huge massively huge shock when I saw it, if you haven’t seen this film then your missing out, it’s fantastic I mean really great, the film stars Kevin Spacey, Steven Baldwin, Gabriel Byrne and Benicio Del Toro, the film follows a guy called Verbal (he talks a lot) who has cerebral palsy, he is telling the cops about a crime that left 20 dead, the crime happened on a harbour as the cops find the burnt bodies on the boat and in the ocean, a name is mentioned Keyser Soze.

We open on a boat that’s on fire, the cops pull bodies from the water including one survivor who is badly burnt, a Hungarian who while in hospital yells the name Keyser Soze, in a police station a guy called Verbal is telling two cops about the crime on the boat the film is told in flashbacks and we see Verbal and other people named McManus, Keaton, Fenster and Hockney McManus decides to get back at the cops by going after a smuggler escorted by corrupt cops and stealing the items, the job goes well and the team fly to LA and meet with a guy called Redfoot, he tells them of another job they can do another smuggling job but this time it’s heroin.

Once they complete the job they find out that the shipment isn’t full of heroin but instead jewellery thus Redfoot telling the gang that the job was set up by a lawyer named Kobayashi, they are approached by Kobayashi and they are told that he works for Keyser Soze, he hands them folders revealing every piece of detail about them, Kobayashi tells them that if they destroy 91 million dollars worth of cocaine being sold to Hungarians they can keep the money, fail and Soze kills the team and their families. 

Fenster bails on the group and later his body is found at an address given by Kobayashi, trying to kidnap him they find out that Keatons girlfriend is a well known criminal lawyer and is there at the offices discussing legal matters thus finding out that Soze will kill her if the job fails, Soze also tells that their families will be killed with untold mayhem, so with no choice they go and do the mission.

At the harbour and this is where things get really confusing so bare with me, they are at the harbour when Keaton tells Verbal to stay back and if the plan fails he should take the money to keaton’s girlfriend, the gang kill the Hungarians and Argentinians while looking for the coke, finding that there is no come on board but instead find a guy who is shot by an unknown figure who then proceeds to kill Keaton and sets the boat on fire, Verbal claims it was Keiser Soze.

Back in the police station it is revealed that the guy on the boat was a man called Arturo Marquez, who had claimed to see Keyser Soze and has escaped prosecution, the cop says that Marquez was being sold to Soze’s Hungarian gang and Keaton was using the heist as a distraction, Verbal then says tearfully that it was all Keaton’s idea leading the cop to believe that Keaton is Keyser Soze, Verbal leaves and the cop chats with another cop as he takes a sip from his coffee mug he looks over to the clipboard, there he says names like Redfoot, and once he drops the mug the name Kobayashi is revealed on the bottom of the mug. The story was a lie told by Verbal and it is revealed that (look away now and go watch the film stop reading) it is revealed that Verbal is Keyser Soze (well I did warn you) as he limps down the street his limp becomes better and better and now he is walking normally, he never had cerebral palsy, he gets into a car and we meet Kobayashi, tho cop chases after him and misses him, Verbal’s voice comes over and says “and then poof he is gone”

And that was The Usual Suspects, wow just wow this film was fantstasic I mean it had me on the edge of my seat and that twist though, I didn’t see that coming at all the twist was so amazingly perfect I’m still scratching my head right now I mean it’s clever, the fi,m itself is a little slow at points but the finale is worth the wait, if you haven’t seen this film I really would recommend it I mean the twist is brilliant I mean just brilliant, do yourselves a favour once you have read this go and watch you will not be disappointed, I would give this film a solid 10/10 mainly because of the twist that’s it, I hope you enjoy it, here’s a link to the full movie on YouTube if your interested http://youtu.be/i4e5T217cyk until next time catch ya later
