Clash of the Titans is about the demi-god Perseus (Worthington), who's family is killed by the god of the underworld, Hades (Fiennes). Seeking revenge, Perseus is told that if he kills Hades's kraken they Hades can be defeated. As the city of argos (no I'm not making it up) is under threat from the kraken they want him to kill it too. So Perseus travels to different places to find out how to kill the monster with a group of men, an ancient creepy looking guy and a cursed woman. Together they battle monsters, giant scorpions and Medusa. Zeus (Neeson) also decides to help them even though he told Hades to "Release the Kraken!".
Clash of the Titans has some of the best monsters I have ever seen and brilliant action scenes but the plot is sometimes confusing as people find out he is a demi-god for no proper reason. After looking forward for seeing this film for a year (Sam Worthington is my favourite actor) I found that it is not as bad as people think but I preferred Worthington in Terminator Salvation and Avatar

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 (2010)
Director: David Yates
Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Ralph Fiennes
Certificate: 12
Genre: Fantasy
Awards: none
This month the number 7 is the most popular number. The seventh in the war video game series Call Of Duty has been released and the beginning of the end of the Harry Potter films has arrived. HP7P1 is the first of the Harry Potter films to set outside of Hogwarts. The magic school that Harry Potter(Radcliffe) attends. After the death of-SPOILER ALERT- Albus Dumbledore(Richard Harris and Michael Gambon), Harry, Ron(Grint) and Hermione(Watson) have decided to track down the remaining pieces of Lord Voldemort's(Fiennes) soul. Lord Voldemort is the villain of the series who is the dark wizard who killed Harry's parents 16 years ago. Since then he has died, been resurrected and become powerful all over again.
HP7P1 is darker and more serous than any of the films before it. The action scenes are enjoyable apart from when the heroes are running away from a gang of "snatchers" which is too confusing. The film has some funny parts and some sad parts and a good film. Although I prefer Chris Columbus's HP2 this film is more mature and you can definitely see the evolution through the films.
****Good

Speed (1994)
Director: Jan de bolt.
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bullock and Jeff Daniels.
Certificate: 15.
Awards: Best effects, best sound.
Speed is a film about a bus that has had a bomb attached to it. If the bus goes under 50 miles an hour the bomb will detonate. Keanu Reeves is a cop named Jack who has to stop the bomber (Hopper) from killing everyone while keeping the people on the bus calm. Sandra Bullock is the bus driver for a day due to the injury of the real one.
Speed has a lot of tension in it and good effects for its time. There are some cheesy lines and bad acting but not much. I enjoyed speed and i think it's great.

Aliens vs predator - requiem (2007)
Directors: Colin and Greg Strause
Starring: Reiko Aylesworth, Steven Pasquale and John Ortis
Certificate: 18
Genre: Horror
Awards: None
Alien and Predator are the two biggest selling scifi/horror film franchises. Aliens vs Predator is the second of the spin-off films including these monsters. The film is about both creatures coming to earth and wreaking havoc while trying to kill each other. There is also a hybrid which is part of them both which seems to be fighting on the Aliens side but it's hard to tell as when there fighting you can't tell which is which.
The film is overall confusing and set in night time so that it's even harder to tell if it is an alien or a predator. The human characters are all trying to run away and survive which reminds me of Pitch Black except they did it better. The films show no mercy to the characters with 8 year old children and pregnant women getting there stomachs blown up.
Overall I was disappointed with this film but maybe the films will never be as good without Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sigourny Weaver.
