Lights, camera, ACTION!!!

Its seems 2010 is the year for a resurgence of good old fashioned action movies.

With films like the Losers, The A-Team and The Expendables.

The last film of which is a call for the old guard of action heroes, all put together in one film to see how much damage can be done. Hopefully the damage is done on screen and not to their film careers. The film even sees Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger play bit parts.

Never in screen history will you get to see Stallone, Willis and Schwarzenegger in a scene together. Who cares if the scene isn't any good, I grew up watching these guys blowing up things and 'one line' their way through a film.

Until the next time.....

Release the Kraken


Over the Easter break I decided to go and see the remake of the classic 1980's epic 'Clash of the Titans'. On picking up my tickets I was concerned I may have booked tickets for the wrong film.

As it happens it was the right film and to sum up, it was a enjoyable retelling of the film I remember as a kid growing up. Although different in places, especially with the introduction of Hades as King of the underworld (which I welcomed) all the elements were there.

Although I was a little disappointed that the guardian to the lair of Medusa wasn't included, maybe its in the deleted scenes.

Worth a viewing if a fan of the original, although I would say its not worth seeing in 3D, I hardly noticed any.

Spend the money on some popcorn instead...

Until the next occasion...
