This summer has been competitive at the box office, we have seen the return of Buzz and Woody in Toy Story 3D, box office gold from Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz along with Hollywood hard hitters Leonardo DiCaprio and Angelina Jolie. Lets not forget the incredible cast of Sylvester Stallones Expendables that unites some of the biggest and baddest action stars that we have seen over the years.
The Expendables
Starring…..well, who is it not starring? Sly, Arnie, Bruce, Statham, Austin, Li, Rourke and just about every action star you can think of stars in this high octane action packed adventure. I have to admit, Sly did good getting together such an amazing cast and allowing each person to shine in their own right.
The story focuses on a team of mercenaries who head to South America with a mission to eliminate their dictator. The team go on a fantastic adventure of betrayal, explosions, fighting and VERY LOUD guns! I am not one for spoilers but this is definitely a film you will not want to miss this summer.
Inception
What just happened??!!! I honestly do not know if I like this movie or not. The fact that I doubt myself makes me more inclined to think that I dislike it. It’s a very clever film about a man (Leonardo Dicaprio) who can enter peoples dreams to steal secrets for a price.
It sounds simple enough and I am good at suspending my disbelief but mix that in with personal issues, entering different dreams at the same time and a bum numbing two hours, I just wanted it to end.
Other people seem to like it but give me 2 hours of mind numbing violence over this any day!
Salt
I am not a fan of Angelina Jolie. So I had already judged this film before I’d seen it…..boring! Now I have to admit that I made a mistake because from the very get go, I was hooked. Angelina plays a C.I.A agent thrown into turbulence very well and keeps the action moving well throughout.
Erica Salt is a seemingly regular person, married with dog, perfect job, perfect life until a Russian soldier turns up and accuses Salt of being an undercover Russian agent. Salt goes on the run, leaving you wondering if she is the good guy or the bad guy. The film does not stop moving which is why I liked it so much, it is action scene after action scene, Angelina does not stop running and kicks butt from start to finish. Definitely go and see this film.
