Senna

Admittedly i had no idea what i was going to see when i walked into the cinema yet when i walked out i was entertained and inspired by a very moving documenting the life and career of Artyon Senna. The film shows the trial and tribulations that Senna found himself facing in Formula One, from his rivalry with fellow Mclaren driver Alain Prost on the track, to the on-going politics behind the scenes. Using clips recorded from his races and other occasions it reveals the side of a sportsman both in and out of the game, giving a full view of the kind of man Senna was and the amount of inspiration he gave not just Brasil but the whole world. A man who truly devoted himself and gave 100% to try and achieve his dreams in life and a man who never let anything get him down, he would always carry on even when struggling. Usually i would comment on the cast and then give my view on the film itself but here that doesn't really apply, though as i said i went into this not really knowing what i

Insidious

This isn't essential your average horror film, as it actually has a fairly decent and almost believable storyline as far as horror films go. While the upstarting Lambert family of five move into a new suburban everything isn't as blissful and happy as it should be(underlying marital problems, again.....) and as with every american film set in a suburban house things soon begin to go amiss, when one of the children, Dalton goes exploring into the attic and seems to get the attention of some unfriendly other worldly demons. After taking a clumsy fool of on old and broken ladder, Dalton is sent into a mysterious coma leaving his parents Josh and Renai to try and get back on with life while trying to cope with their son's unknown illness. Josh and Renai however soon find out there is more to the coma than meets the eye and soon strange and freighting things begin to happen in the new house... This film doesn't have as many big stars as some of the other films its competin
