Sherlock Holmes - Game of Shadows

Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) has always been the smartest man in the room...until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large-Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris)-and not only is he Holmes' intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective. When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan), points to suicide. But Sherlock  Holmes deduces that the prince has been the victim of murder-a murder that is only one piece of a larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by Professor Moriarty. The cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead of Holmes as he spins a web of death and destruction-all part of a greater plan that, if he succeeds, will change the course of history.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part Two

The final part to the Harry Potter Series, where Harry must defeat the final Horcrux's and go into a face to face battle with Voldemort.

I went to see this at the IMAX cinema in 3D.  Visually this film on the big screen was stunning. The images were so crisp and clear and defined, and the 3D although not always popping into the audience, gave this film a whole new level of depth. The Directors had really gone all out to make this a visually spectacular experience. The digital photography, scenery and props were fantastic in this film. The snake and the effects were so realistic, and almost (wands excluded) believable.

Sherlock Holmes

After finally catching serial killer and occult "sorcerer" Lord Blackwood, legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson can close yet another successful case. But when Blackwood mysteriously returns from the grave and resumes his killing spree, Holmes must take up the hunt once again. Contending with his partner's new fiancée and the dimwitted head of Scotland Yard, the dauntless detective must unravel the clues that will lead him into a twisted web of murder, deceit, and black magic - and the deadly embrace of temptress Irene Adler.

Resident Evil Series

Resident Evil, follows the story of a viral weapon that has leaked (the T Virus) and is spreading, the infection causes people who should have died to become the undead, and feast on others.  The Umbrella Corp, who built and experimented with the virus, need to be brought down, and as the virus wipes out the world, they just keep experimenting, not caring who gets killed.  The heroine Alice (who becomes half mutant) is trying to stop Umbrella Corp, with the help of any survivors that she meets.  Film one, is the initial outbreak of the virus in one of the Umbrella Corps bases, by film two its spread to the local town, Film three - the world, and film four (the final showdown), is dealing with the infection as it is still spreading and mutating.

Blood Diamond - Edward Zwick

Blood Diamond, follows the story of diamond hunting in Sierra Leone.  The rebels want the diamonds to purchase weapons, the government want to crack down on illegal diamond hunting.  We follow Danny (Leo DiCaprio), a diamond smuggler, who gets caught up in doing the right thing, alongside wanting to exploit the rare diamond for what it is. The farmer (Dijimon Hounsou) who finds the rare diamond, who just wants to rescue his family.  And the journalist (Jennifer Connelly) who wants to exploit the stories of Blood Diamonds.

I am not always a huge fan of these types of films but it was cheep and it looked quite interesting.  Overall i quite enjoyed this film, following a story line i'm not so familiar with, but was quite interesting.  A little bit predictable, with a few twists and turns.  A few good acting moments and a few really dodgy ones.  I think it was nice you weren't always sure what side Danny was on, and depending on the situation you saw both the baddy and the goody in him.   Although Danny (aka Leo DiCaprio) did have a very dodgy accent throughout and it just didn't seem natural made me laugh throughout this film.

Overall quite a good little blockbuster film from Hollywood, interesting plot line, some dodgy accents and a wee bit of predicability, and not so complicated you could easily follow the story.
