Gangster Squad (15)
This film is UNREAL! I knew from the moment I saw the poster that I was going to love it. It has everything, from romance to violence with a true story element and Mob bosses! It is set in 1949 when Mickey Cohen was at the height of his reign in LA and focuses on a secret police force set up to tear down his ruthless campaign to take over.
Every character is flawless in this film, excellent casting and great acting. Sean Penn as Cohen is effortless, he captures the cruel essence very well. I was really impressed by this line up but even more impressed with the delivery of their work. Each character is believable in the role and within that era. Emma Stone is on point as the sexy red-headed vixen and really shines in this film for me as a supporting actress, she has come a long way since Superbad as the lovely girl-next-door. Ryan Gosling is charismatic and easy to watch on screen, previously I have found him quite an introverted actor so it was a nice change. I could go on but to be honest I enjoyed every aspect of this film from the script, the cinematography and the casting.
I think this is the best film I have seen since Lawless and appeals to anyone who loves a good Gangster flick. It could have done with a little bit more violence, an 18 rating maybe as I felt parts were a little tame.

My Opinion On Skyfall
Skyfall (2012) Rating 12A
Firstly, I am going to state outright that I am not the biggest fan of the Bond films (I know a lot my loyal readers will gasp at this comment) but for some reason it has never really rocked my boat. I am partial to the ones starring Sean Connery as I feel he epitomises the real action man! He is charming and suave as well as being a believable tough guy!
However I have never found the more recent ones (starring Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig) to be that thrilling. To be honest I prefer Pierce (look at me on first name basis like I know the guy), as at least I can see what would attract the ladies to him but Daniel Craig....really? I literally can only think they chose him for the role because he comes across as tough with a good set of abs. I know I will get some kind of backlash for this but I just don't like him as Bond...I find him boring, barely charming and just a drip.
Back to the actual film, I did like the action sequences but I found it a little bit long winded. It seemed to last for a Century and I found myself getting a bit confused (and a little sleepy). I also found out consequently that this film has been rated 2nd in the 2012 Movie Releases with the most mistakes (moviemistakes.com) with a total of 35 errors ... no wonder I was confused!
If you are a lover of the Bond franchise then of course, you have to see the 23rd instalment but for me, it is a little bit overly stretched now!

One to watch
Went to see Jack Reacher (12A):
Stuck for something to see at the flicks this week? Not too sure if a three hour film about some Hobbit you thought you had left behind in Lord of the Rings is the one for you (no offence but I am kind of anti-fantasty in some respects)? Well Jack Reacher is an easy choice as it combines all the great things that make a good film with one of the great action stars who is now doing a role suited to his age yet still a badass (a short bad ass but a badass none the less).
What a film! Tom Cruise is believable and it has a great action/comedy mix! I really enjoyed trying to figure out who was behind the crimes and it had some great acting to boot! Good casting and a sound storyline.

In light of the upcoming film based on the late filmmaker Hitchcock I thought it would be fitting to have one of his many quotes! He is one of my favourite director's of all time! Below is the trailer to the biography film of Hitchcock (12A)
