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 was going to see but that added to the element of mystery in a way, not knowing much about Formula One i did think i would be in the dark yet i found out that wasn't the case. The way in which the film went on to Portray Senna really hit home for me, i never really looked at a sportsman before and saw someone so dedicated to their sport in the way he was, adding to that Senna even showed how off the track he was genuinely a good person and the film showed that brilliantly. So even if you don't know what Formula One is and can't tell a Ferrari from a Mclaren, i recommend this film, just to see a truly inspirational real-life story of a man who showed compassion, sportsmanship and dedication in what he did and why he was and still to this day is viewed as an icon for the sport.

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

Impossibly the fourth in the franchise isn't a mission too far and proves itself a worthy edition. Ethan hunt is back, after breaking out of prison in Moscow with the help of the IMF he's brought up to speed and forced into a new mission to infiltrate the heart of Russia itself, the Kremlin. Mid mission things go sour and the operation is called off as Hunt still in disguise escapes the Kremlin behind him bursts into flames, the Russians view this as an act of war sending Hunt and his team on the run. Meeting with the secretary of defense in secret Hunt is informed that the whole IMF has been disbanded, Hunt is on his own and the orders are to take him in... Unless he chooses to accept a new mission. The president activates ghost protocol meaning the remnants of the IMF must on their own discover who's responsible for bombing the Kremlin, bring them to justice and at the same time prevent a nuclear holocaust sparking between Russia and America.  Tom Cruis...

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

  The Year is 2019. The Avengers have won. DC is almost nowhere to be seen and the Dark Universal Monsters Universe has hopefully been lost somewhere in the black sea. Wait... What is that? Is that a monster movie?? Is that Japans great lizard/Americanised cousin? Yes. Yes it is and he's here to show the world what he's made of! While first reading this you'll most likely be saying 'Wait. stop. Isn't that the Godzilla movie which critics are panning and hasn't scraped the box office??? Well on a technical level you'd be right, but sit right there and let me riff a little here; Godzilla: King of the monsters takes a giant radioactive step from the world of 2014's first outing for the new Godzilla and actually shows more than 8 minutes (No really go back and see just how much he's in the film...) of the big green not referring to Mark Ruffalo but japan's own green wrecking machine. Godzilla is king. Especially in terms of monster brawls and I can...

Shazam!

Faster than a speeding locomotive, than a speeding bullet and yes, fastly becoming a refreshingly fun forward step into the light for the DC universe. Thanks a good deal to Zachary Levi and his whimsical childlike wonder approach to being thrust into the world of heroism, and a large part also to the younger cast helping him flourish. Shazam! Brings while nothing greatly new to the landscape, something almost bizarrely new to the DCEU... humour, wonder and a sheer entertainment focused driven roll through another side of the usually bleak universe! While yes some lore plods along at the start, the momentum moves quickly as Billy Batson, split from his mother at a young age is desperate to find the family he lost. Along the path he finds himself passed from foster home to foster home, dealing with the usual troubles of coming of age(which is very much the overall tone of the film) one such incident leads him to a dashing escape and somehow lands him in the dark and mysterious cave of th...
