Twilight Saga: New Moon

Today I went to see Twilight Saga: New Moon at the Vue Cinema, Festival Place, Basingstoke.

This is the second movie of four in The Twilight Saga, and this time the story continues from where Twilight left off, but this time werewolves have been thrown into the mix.
If you have read the books then you pretty much know what's going to happen, and this movie is a lot closer to the book than the last, but if you haven't I'll try to give you a general gist without giving too much away.

Edward Cullen (a vampire) and Bella Swan (a human) split up and she gets closer to her old friend Jacob Black, who happens to be a werewolf!
Werewolves and vampires do not like each other, but have made an uneasy truce..so all sorts of trouble is starting to brew for Bella as she loves both Edward and Jacob...but Edward will always mean more to her...
Will the star crossed lovers get back together? Will Edward and Jacob end up killing each other?

I really enjoyed this movie a lot more than the previous one, there is more to it, and the cliffhanger ending..roll on the next movie!

Twilight Saga: New Moon is rated 12a and in cinemas now,

Harry Brown

Last night, I went and saw a preview screening of Harry Brown at the Basingstoke Odeon cinema.

The movie is about a man called Harry Brown (played brilliantly by Michael Caine) a ex-serviceman who lives on a run-down housing estate where a gang has taken over the area, and a subway near his home is where they all hang out.

Harry is a quiet man, doesn't like talking about his past, he has lost his daughter and early into the movie he loses his wife who was very ill in hospital. Things then get worse when his friend Leonard gets killed in the subway.

Harry goes through the gang one by one and it gets pretty violent, in one part of the movie Harry grabs one of the kids tied to a chair and tortures them for answers using a length of rubber hose.

The police are also hot on his tail too, DI Alice Frampton suspects him of killing the gang members off.

It's quite a gritty movie, and there was more violence in this than I had expected, but it's not a bad thing as the violence makes the film feel very real.

I was highly impressed with this movie, it was a lot better than I thought it would be, and certainly a must watch movie. I'll give it 8/10

Harry Brown hits UK cinemas on 11th November and is rated 18.
