Cobb has lost everything hes ever had and know he is given a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but it is much trickier than other jobs. If it works it could be the perfect crime but nothing prepares them for what will happen.

Comments: This is an incredible movie, Nolan has done a great job putting the whole movie together with special effects, stage design and the actors. There are several twists and unpredictable turns which make you think and jump. There is a lot of information to take in so I watched it a second time which made everything better. But I would highly recommend watching it.  Watch the trailer to get the grips of what the plot is about.

Genre:  Fantasy/ Mystery/ Drama

Rated: 12A

Run Time: 135 minutes 

Director: Peter Jackson

Actors: Mark Wahlberg, Saoirse Ronan 




Plot:Based on the successful novel, written by Alice Sebold, this movie sticks closely to the plot of the novel, which shows the story of a young girl, Suzie Salmon who is raped and murdered by her neighbour. The movie manages to create the suspense and eeriness of the original novel, however in my opinion some of the fantasy scenes did not tie in with the overall mood of the novel. 


Comments: The acting in this movie is very good and there are not many movies which stick as close to the plot, but The Lovely Bones is not the case. 

Genre: Drama/ Mystery/ Romance/Thriller

Rating: 12A

Run Time: 92 minutes

Director: Mike Cahill

Actors: Brit Marling, William Mapother 





Plot:On the night of a discovery of another planet like earth, a young student and a composer cross paths in an accident. 4 years later she tries to find herself again but instead she finds out that the composer is alive. 


Comments:I think this movie lacks in a lot of qualities that a movie needs. Sometimes it feels like someone is filming it with a hand held camera but the thing I don't like is that there isn't much romance and no action. It may be a good plot but the director doesn't show it's potential that it could be. The ending for me was too dead and I wanted to see what would happen. If you have nothing to do, go ahead and watch it but don't waste your time if it's movie night.

Genre: Romance, Drama

Rated: 12A

Runtime:  115 mins

Director: Lasse Hallstrom

Actors: Julianne Hough, Josh Duhamel, David Lyons





Plot: Katie (Julianne Hough) leaves everything and arrives in a small town of Southport. Katie is determined to avoid any personal connections but soon makes relationships. Katie soon lets down her guard and begins to get close with Alex (Josh Duhamel), a widowed store owner with two young children. As she begins to fall in love, her dark past is catching up with her and begins to haunt her. Will she confront her past or keep living with nightmares.

Comment: This is another movie from the author Nicholas Sparks. Nicholas Sparks has written another great romantic novel. The movie is a great romantic film but it has a mysteriousness to it. Josh Duhamel was great in Safe Haven and also David Lyons who lays Tearny. Every time he is in the scene you get a feeling of creepiness.
