After the murder of Antonio
Guzman, Evan Trautwig (Ben Stiller) decides to set up a neighbourhood watch
team in an attempt to root out the killer and restore law and order to the town
of Glenview. A speech at a football stadium doesn’t gain wonderful results as only
four turn up to the first meeting. However, they form a group and accidentally
stumble across an alien race intent on invading the planet.

Will you be able to recall Len Wiseman's Total Recall?
The fact that Total Recall was made by the studio
called Original Films smacks somewhat of irony, also does anyone think Kate Beckinsale
and Jessica Biel look somewhat similar? Anywho with Len Wiseman at the helm, a
director famous for good visuals and nothing else, it seems unlikely that the
remake will be better than the 1990 original.

The Hobbit
I have not written a review in a
while, been busy, a little lazy and on occasions incredibly bad tempered. Naturally,
I have embarrassed myself in the time I have been away (alcohol has played a
major factor in this). The stories are to face palming worthy to tell just yet,
but get me drunk and I’ll yap away, spill the beans about gaining the experience
to write a book entitled ‘How to make a utter prat of to yourself: The Guide’
RRP £17.99. But, enough of my odd brand of humour...

Sinister
Having Directed the likes of The Exorcism of Emily Rose (which I
quite like) and The Day the Earth Stood
Still (I am blessed by the fact I have still yet to see this), Scott
Derrickson’s next feature film stars Ethan Hawke as true crime writer Ellison Oswalt.
Ellison moves his family (wife and two children) to the source of his next novel,
a town in which a family of four were found hanging from a tree, whilst the
youngest daughter, Stephanie, is missing. It is Ellison’s job to find out what
happened to the little girl and her family.

Looper
Set twenty-two years into the
future, Looper stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt
as Joe, a Looper from the year 2044. Now, in the year 2070 time travel has been
invented (and then quickly banned), and a Looper’s job is to wait at a precise
spot at a precise time and kill the man who arrives from the future. A man
cannot be killed in 2070 due to advancements in technology, which make it
impossible to dispose of a body, thus sending the victim back to 2044 is the best
option.

Snow White and the Huntsman
In the year 2012 there were two
different takes on the Snow White story, slightly similar to that of the year 2010
in which two films based on Greek mythology were released within a few months
of each other. Tarsem Singh’s take on Snow White was light
hearted and enjoyable, while Rupert Saunders’ version is a slightly darker
version playing down the humour elements. Anyway, which one is better? Well,
having seen both of them this is an easier question to answer so there is no
need for a fight.

Lawless and Silent House
The Wettest County in the World, also known as Lawless (which I will use to make a life just a little bit easier),
is based on the novel written by Matt Bondurant, the grandson of one the main
characters in his historical novel. Lawless
is set during the probation era, a time in which alcohol was banned, thus
presenting the opportunity for people to profit from the trading of alcohol.
The Bondurant brothers – Forrest (Tom Hardy), Howard (Jason Clarke) and Jack (Shia
LaBeouf) – are just one example of the many businesses that operate on the
illegal trading of alcohol.
