Director: David Twohy
Starring: Vin Diesel, Judi Dench, Colm Feore, Karl Urban and Alexa Davalos
Certificate: 15
Genre: SciFi Action
The Chronicles of Riddick is the sequel of Pitch Black featuring the anti hero Riddick (Diesel). This time Riddick is being tracked down by an alien race called the Necromongers who want to rule every planet in the world. Leading the alien race is the Lord Marshal (Feore) who has been told that he will killed by a furien: another alien race. Unfortunately Riddick is the last Furien and he has been told by an elemental named Aereon (Dench) that he must kill the Lord Marshal.Another Necromonger named Vaako (Urban) also wants to kill the Lord so that he can lead his people instead. The two survivors of Pitch Black are back including Jack (Davalos) - now named Kiera - who has become a killer to get glowing eyes like Riddick.
Many people were disappointed with The Chronicles of Riddick because it is so much different to Pitch Black. I thought this film was okay but it targets a different audience to its prequel which killed it. Pitch Black was definitely better but this film wasn't bad.

Avatar (2009)
Director: James Cameron
Starring: Sam worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang
Certificate: 12
Genre: Sci Fi
Awards: Best achievement in art, cinematography and Visual Effects
Avatar is (if you don't count the changing worth of money) both the most expensive film ever made and the biggest selling film so far. James Cameron- Director of Terminator Aliens and Titanic- spent 10 years making this film. Jake Sully (Worthington) is a marine who's life was torn apart when he lost the use of his legs in a war in Venezuela. When his brother is killed Sully can take his place in a scientist group on the planet Pandora. The scientists have technology that can turn humans into the alien creatures called Navi. soon after Sully goes into Pandora, He gets lost and meets a real Navi named Neytiri (Saldana). She teaches him the way of the Navi and he soon comes to like the people of Pandora. unfortunately not every-one agrees with DR Grace Augustine's (Weaver) Plan to become Navi and persuade them to leave their homes to get the diamonds underneath the soil. Colonel Miles Quaritch (Lang) thinks there is no diplomatic solution and wants to destroy the Navi before they cause any more trouble. Now Jake Sully is in a war and he doesn't know which side to take......
Avatar has the most stunning visuals that cinema has ever seen. The battles, Vehicles and aliens are amazing but the story is a little too eco-friendly. People have become dazed by Avatar and if the second one in 2014 is as good as the first then it could be the new Star Wars.
*****Brilliant

Psycho (1960)
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin and Janet Leigh
Certificate: 15
Genre: Horror
From now on my reviews will be posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays to give my blog a bit of organisation. Psycho about a woman named Marion Crane (Leigh) who runs away from Phoenix with $40,000 worth of stolen money. In the night she stops at a motel. When Marion goes missing her sister (Miles) and boyfriend (Gavin) question the owner of the motel (Perkins) who acts very suspicious and the silo-et of his mother in the window opens even more questions.
Psycho is a very clever film with the changing of main characters and camera shots so that your not quite sure who the Psycho is until the very end. The film is a classic but it is quite old fashioned now which makes some of the scary bits rather funny.
****Good
