3D - Sanctum

Tonight I have been to see Sanctum 3D.

Underwater cave divers find themselves trapped in the world's most inaccessible cave in this tense action-thriller.

When expert diver Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) decides to explore the largest cave system on earth, he has an idea of the dangers that lay ahead, but trusts his know-how to see him and his team through. That is until a tropical storm forces them deep into the caverns with no way out but down. Now, his team of adrenalin junkies, including his 17-year-old son Josh (Rhys Wakefield) and financier Carl Hurley (Ioan Gruffudd), must survive raging torrents of water, deadly terrain and depleting oxygen levels as they desperately make their way further into the caves towards the ocean in a bid to escape. But the underwater labyrinth has plenty of nasty surprises in store for these intrepid adventurers, ones that will challenge the most hardcore of thrill-seekers. Will they all make it out alive? 

The King's Speech

This afternoon I have been to see The King's Speech

It's 1936, and when Edward VIII threatens to abdicate from the British throne, his younger brother Bertie (Colin Firth) knows he must overcome his humiliating stammer in order to rule the country.

The constitutional crisis caused by the plans of Edward VIII (Guy Pearce) to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson threatens disaster for the country, but Bertie has his own problems to face. Afflicted by a debilitating nervous stammer since childhood, he can barely make a public speech, let alone rule a country heading towards World War II. In this true story, Bertie, the future King George VI, battles to beat his speech impediment. His wife Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter) enlists the services of unorthodox Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). Can Logue and his unusual techniques help her proud husband overcome his fears and become one of Britain's greatest monarchs? The King's Speech is a superb period biopic with some of the finest British acting talent around.

3D - The Green Hornet

Tonight I have been to see The Green Hornet, 

Britt Reid (Rogen) is the son of a newspaper publisher. His nights are spent partying, his days spent sleeping it off. That is until his father is killed, and he meets a company employee called Kato (Jay Chou), who lets him in on some of his father's secrets. Using a staggering cache of weaponry and just about the coolest car you've ever seen, Reid and Kato don masks and become crimefighters, which unfortunately brings them to the attention of Benjamin Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz). As a man who has just succeeded in uniting an entire city's criminal gangs under his rule, Chudnofsky is not about to tolerate a masked hero getting in his way. The scene is set for a showdown full of furious action and quick one-liners adding up to a cinema experience that you won't forget in a hurry.

127 Hours

Tonight I have been to see 127 Hours.

Danny Boyle returns with this inspiring true story of a mountain climber who becomes trapped and must resort to desperate measures in order to survive.

Director Danny Boyle follows up the success of Slumdog Millionaire with a very different tale, although it's just as stunning. It's a film about human courage, based on the gruelling true story of Aron Ralston (James Franco). Aron is a lone mountain climber whose hand becomes trapped under a boulder in the blazing sun of the beautiful but remote Utah desert. Over the course of six hellish days, while he tries to free himself, the climber looks back on the events that brought him there and the people in his life. As time runs out for him, Aron must face the ultimate test of courage if he is to survive. Boyle delivers yet another brilliant movie, and actor James Franco is simply excellent as Aron.

3D - Tron Legacy

Tonight I have been to see 3D Tron Legacy.

This stunning 3D masterpiece is the sequel to the cult 1982 sci-fi hit, starring Jeff Bridges and newcomer Garrett Hedlund.

Kevin (Jeff Bridges) - once the world's leading video-game developer - disappeared 25 years ago. When his son Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn's Arcade - a signal that could have only have been sent by his father - he finds himself pulled into the same digital world where Kevin has been trapped in these past two decades. Alongside the fearless Quorra (Olivia Wilde), Sam and Kevin must try to escape this deadly video game reality before the villainous Castor (Michael Sheen) can stop them. This sequel to Disney's cult 1982 sci-fi adventure Tron reunites original stars Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner and welcomes newbies Garrett Hadlund and Olivia Wilde. Special effects nuts should expect to be wowed by the scenes where a modern day Jeff Bridges meets his magically de-aged younger self! 

Love & Other Drugs

Tonight I have been to see Love & Other Drugs.

A stunning romantic comedy starring two of the world's hottest young stars.

Jamie (Gyllenhall) is a pharmaceutical salesman with a gift for selling the new drug Viagra - and an equal talent for selling himself to attractive young women. His considerable charms are useless, however, when he is confronted with the beautiful Maggie (Hathaway), a fascinating and alluring free spirit who won't let anything or anyone tie her down. They are both surprised by their growing feelings, but Maggie has a secret that will test their newfound love to its very limits. Director Edward Zwick, whose credits include Legends of the Fall and The Last Samurai, has crafted one of the romances of the year, sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, but always captivating.

The Way Back

Tonight I have been to see The Way Back. an inspiring true story of survival against the odds featuring a high-quality cast.

Based on a true story, this centres on seven prisoners confined in the most terrible of prisons - a Siberian gulag. A daring escape leads to a race against their relentless pursuers, as the escapees deal with sub-zero temperatures, sandstorms and eventually a trek over the Himalayas. It's either make it to India or die trying. With Jim Sturgess, Colin Farrell and Ed Harris leading the cast, this boasts some big-hitters giving big performances, ably supported by the sensational Saoirse Ronan as a young woman who crosses their path and proves more valuable than expected.
