Iron Man 2


(12)

Robert Downey Jr. returns to play Tony Stark in Iron Man 2, the eagerly anticipated sequel to the 2008 superhero smash, Iron Man.

In this sensational follow-up, Stark must become Iron Man once more and do battle with Whiplash (Mickey Rourke -The Wrestler), and corporate rival Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell - Moon). Scarlett Johansson (Lost In Translation) stars as sexy Russian spy Black Widow, and Don Cheadle (Boogie Nights) assumes the role of Colonel James Rhodes from Terrence Howard.


Watched this last night, thought this was a really good movie, if you enjoyed the first movie you'll love this movie.


Insidious


(15)

Josh (Patrick Wilson) and Renai (Rose Byrne) are a happily married couple with three young children (Ty Simpkins, Andrew Astor) who have moved into their idyllic new suburban home. When tragedy strikes their young son, Josh and Renai begin to experience things in the house that are beyond explanation. Before long, their lives are turned upside down by demonic forces, hell-bent on terrorising their very existence.

Forced to seek help and protect their family, they learn the terrifying truth...

It's not the house that's haunted but something far worse...


Start of this movie was gripping and had me on the edge of my seat. A bit slow to the end put it was a really good movie at the start.

The Adjustment Bureau


(12)

Do we control our destiny, or do unseen forces manipulate us? Matt Damon stars in the thriller The Adjustment Bureau as a man who glimpses the future Fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue the only woman he's ever loved across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York. On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David Norris (Damon) meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt)-a woman like none he's ever known. But just as he realizes he's falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart. David learns he is up against the agents of Fate itself-the men of The Adjustment Bureau - who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path... or risk everything to defy Fate and be with her. The Adjustment Bureau is written for the screen and directed by George Nolfi (writer of Ocean's Twelve, co-writer ofThe Bourne Ultimatum). It is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick (Total Recall, Minority Report and Blade Runner).


Being a big Matt Damon fan, I loved this movie, great acting and good special effects.If you enjoyed Inception you'll like the Adjustment Bureau. Would recommend this movie to all Matt Damons Fans you wont be let down.

Mandy


(PG)

London, the early 1950's. Born deaf, Mandy (Mandy Miller) is mute for most of her childhood. As she reaches school age her family itself is in danger of breaking up. Christine (Phyllis Calvert), Mandy's mother has heard of a residential school for the oral education of the deaf, where the children are taught to lip-read and, through the identification of objects, to speak, but her husband Harry (Terence Morgan) wishes to have her home-schooled. Their disagreement over the child's education results in bitter quarrels until Christine decides to leave him, taking Mandy with her. Mandy finally enters the school, run by a dynamic and gifted teacher, Searle (Jack Hawkins).


I loved this movie as a child, watch it again couple of weeks ago and I still love the movie, I don't think anyone could watch it without being moved at the story of a deaf and dumb little girl and her struggle to be heard in the world.
