Pirates of the Caribbean - On Stranger Tides

Argghhh it be another swashbuckling adventure with the classic Jack Sparrow, ahem sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow and this time minus the bumbling pirate wannabes Will and Elizabeth. As Jack Sparrow(Johnny Depp) journeys fourth on another adventure, this time to find the fountain of youth he comes face to face with the legendary and fearsome pirate, Captain Blackbeard(Ian Mcshane) and his saucy minx of a daughter Angelica(Penelope Cruz).

Each group make their way to find eternal youth in a daring race with double crossing and deceiving writhe in the air, the fourth installment really does have the feel of a true pirate tale, adding the usual fantasy elements of supernatural ideas of everlasting life, mermaids and of cours

Thor

By the power of Asgard, a norse god with a hammer dominating the cinemas in the 21st century, maddness you say? Well it's happening and now you ask what is this trechary of a film about good sir? Fear not I shall inform you. Thor (Chris Hemsworth), our hero, is eager to prove himself worthy of taking over his father the dying King of Asgard, Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and that he is aware of the responsibility it takes to be a leader. Thor believes that to prove himself he needs to show his strength as a warrior and so sets out to the land of the Frost Giants in order defeat the Asgardians long term enemy. However, Loki (Tom Hiddleston)Thor's brother, reports his sibling to their father who in a rage goes forward and steps in between Thor and The Leader of the Frost Giants, unable to prevent the fury of the enemy and all out war Odin has no choice but to banish Thor to earth. With Thor's banishment he must come to terms with his new found hummanity with the help of Jane Foster

Fast Five

What film could ever be worse than Fast and Furious (the fourth film) which is so tediously boring most people forget anything and everything that happened in it? Luckily not Fast Five which retains the high octane action car chases that the first two in the series focused on and adds to it by creating a new scenario which transforms the old formula in to a relatively different way in making it a bank heist.

With a bank heist film, you have the robbers (Toretto and O'Conner) then you have the cops, who in this case is the government agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson) who is determined to bring Toretto down for good. Vin Diesel is at his best once again at playing the hard man with the plan, while Paul Walker, i feel has to rely on F
