Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Kevin Hart team up to save the world. This movie is funny! The Rock and Kevin Hart are fantastic together. Watching them both on screen is the best part of this movie and it was great. The story follows both of them having reunited 20 years after high school in order to save the world. The main plot is the weakest part of this movie since there's not much emphasis put on it. I will say that there are some pretty sweet cameos in here that are awesome. The action is mostly good even though it got a bit shaky in some places. Overall, Central Intelligence is a pleasant surprise this summer. It's a fun buddy cop action comedy.

Based on Colm Tóibín's novel of the same name, this is a great movie! A heartwarming tale about love, loss and relationships with a knock-out performance by Saoirse Ronan. 'Brooklyn' is a simple movie, told magnificently. Nick Hornby's adapted screenplay captures the protagonist's coming-of-age tale, with dignity and pathos. Saoirse Ronan is in terrific form. The talented actress delivers a brilliant performance as the naive and lovable protagonist. Giving her terrific support are Emory Cohen and Domhnall Gleeson, who enact the men in her lives, proficiently. The ever-compelling Jim Broadbent shines in a brief role. Overall - a sweet, charming drama with wonderful acting and touching moments.

It's just like the first movie basically..it takes you into the mind of magic tricks and just how easy, hard and confusing and well timed it can be. It's interesting to see just how they do it, because we keep forgetting it's all fake and not real. This movie is magic mixed with a robbery heist all combined into one. All the actors return, excluding Isla Fisher. This time we have a lady played by Lizzy Caplan who, to an extent replaces Isla Fisher. She's actually really funny and charming, to say the least. All the characters are exactly as the same as they were in the first one. There's a new villain played by Daniel Radcliffe. He wants the Horsemen to capture a certain device so he can have access to everyone's details. Daniel Radcliffe surprisingly makes a good villain. The movie is entertaining, action packed with nonstop guessing and thrills all the way through. It's an enjoyable flick, just like the first one.

 Finding Dory 7/10

Everyone's favourite forgetful fish, Dory, is back on the big screen a whopping 13 years after joining Marlin on a quest to find his missing clownfish son Nemo. This time, however, Dory takes centre stage. Shifting the focus from Nemo to Dory for this belated follow-up is a no-brainer; it allows Pixar to concoct a new ocean-spanning adventure without feeling too repetitive, whilst cleverly bringing the broader plot full-circle by having the child now looking for the parents. With glorious cutting-edge animation, a string of creative sequences and a barrel-full of laughs, there won't be a single audience member, regardless of age, that'll be bored; yet there's also a lack of truly memorable moments that stop this from being a classic like its predecessor. It goes without saying that Dory is the star of the show, although the range of hilarious supporting characters is impressive. Finding Dory is a charming, amusing and thoughtful family flick which is well worth checking out.

The Nice Guys is a fantastic movie with a very well developed plot and an outstanding cast. It is really what I think most movies should be, what a lot of them are forgetting to be nowadays, it comes up with an interesting premise and delivered the promise it had spectacularly. Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe shine as a duo, the chemistry between them is evident throughout, they play off one another in ways that are tense at times, and other times that will have you in stitches. The story is also marvelous, it's original, it takes the buddy cop/detective concept and spins it on its head, it kept me at the edge of my seat as the sense of mystery is also highly evident throughout. The Nice Guys is a movie, for me, that is almost perfect, it does not take itself too seriously, it knew what it was and respected that fact, and by knowing what it was, an action comedy, it tried to become a better version of that, and it succeeded. Gosling, Crowe and the great Shane Black made an incredible trio and brought us an exciting movie that will keep you at the edge of your seat and laughing out loud at the same. I would recommend it to all moviegoers, definitely worth the watch if you are looking for an action, comedy or crime movie.

Based on the famous true Enfield poltergeist case in the 70's, The Conjuring 2 definitely outdid its predecessor in all categories - storytelling, character development, and scare factor. You'll be biting the nails on your fingers before the movie finishes. It's that good! The creepy happenings in the Hodgson house in London are frightening to watch. There are haunted toys, knocking on doors and Exorcist-esque bed shaking. Each terrifying scene is separated by a scene or two that allow the dust to settle but never allow for peace. There are a few lighthearted moments but it never distracts you from the fact that this is a horror movie. The Conjuring 2 is a sequel that is better and scarier than the original. If you love scary movies you cannot afford to miss this one.

 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows 7/10

Surprisingly content with its 2014 predecessor, I was looking forward to this movie. The first wasn't even near perfect, but it had a kind of nostalgic charm to it and reminded me of something I would've been totally into when I was a kid. While it keeps the premise contained and doesn't try to over-complicate things, unfortunately, it sort of does anyway. The main plot isn't all that original, and then when it really gets the ball rolling, it becomes a bit convoluted when it shouldn't need to be. In fact, the movie's at its strongest and most enjoyable during the first two acts. The final action sequences are confusing and chaotic. I almost would've preferred to see it done more realistically without the shaky cam. Regardless of all the pitfalls, this new series has been enjoyable because it has remained inspired. It's obviously written by folks who are passionate about the source material. Fairly consistent with, if not better than the first, Out of the Shadows keeps those into the series still invested. And the 10-year-old me is enjoying a movie like a little kid again.

Notable for being Alan Rickman's last on-screen role, this superb drama thriller is about a military operation to take out terrorists in a house before they embark on a suicide mission but there's a complication in the form of an innocent little girl selling bread outside. The story and screenplay is fast-paced and heartfelt, with the tension forever rising sky high as the mission twists and turns until the very last couple of minutes. It's no action movie, instead it deals with the excruciating struggle that the characters have to go through with making a very important decision. Helen Mirren is brilliant as the person in charge of the mission with Alan Rickman and Aaron Paul also excelling. This is one of the best modern warfare movies to date, it's a thriller that constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat.

This is a parody of a little known 70's superhero series. It was initially released as 8 mini episodes on the web and then merged together to form this movie. The story, about two very low profile costumed heroes stepping up to the big money league, is never too original (except right at the end), but it's saved by a snappy script and two very likable leads. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and there are plenty of laughs in what ends up being a lighthearted romp. The two leads are huge Youtube stars (although I've never heard of them). It's a witty movie which is well acted and it's a fun way to spend 80 minutes, especially if you have a fondness for superhero movies. I enjoyed it.

 Warcraft 3/10

Let's get right to the point. The Warcraft movie is bad. It's really bad. I wanted to like this movie but it's just not a good movie. The acting is beyond horrible. Especially the main human cast. The CG orcs act circles around the humans in this movie. The movie also does a horrible job of explaining the world to the audience. I've never played Warcraft so I wanted a good introduction to what's going on. The tone in the movie is all over the place too. The CG is really uneven. Sometimes it's damn impressive and other times it's flat out bad. All this makes for a pretty terrible movie experience. Sure, fans of Warcraft will probably enjoy it but that doesn't make Warcraft a good movie. If you go into this movie as a Warcraft fan you'll probably enjoy yourself but if you're looking for a good fantasy movie, like Lord of The Rings, then stay far away from this movie.

To start off, I found it entertaining, which is the main objective of a movie. That being said, it's a forgettable movie at best. And a cluster of rushed ideas at worst. All mashed together in CGI that at times, looked more like cut scenes in a PS3 game than a movie. The story involves Alice travelling through time in order to help her friend The Hatter. I liked Mia Wasikowska's performance as Alice and she did great with what she was given. What she was given, however, could have been better. In an attempt at making all the characters you love, seem deeper, this movie gives you all the back story and answers you never asked for. Pretty much explaining why every main character are the way they are. To sum up. It's good entertainment, but will probably start slipping your mind quite quickly.

What a great action comedy movie this turned out to be. The movie tells the story of two cousins, trying to rescue a kitten, that was found on one cousin's doorstep, from the drug dealers that stole it. The movie is funny, and Keanu (the title kitten character) is adorable! I also really like the movie's crazy storyline, clever dialogue, and absurd comedic situations. I've never heard of comedy duo Key and Peele before but they bounce off each other nicely. Anna Faris' cameo is one of the highlights of this movie. In the end this movie is fresh, silly, and smart as hell. Well worth checking out.

 Barbershop: The Next Cut 6/10

This is the 3rd in the Barbershop series-not counting the Queen Latifah spin-off, Beauty Shop in 2005. The first one was in 2002 and the second in 2004 so it has been about 12 years since the last one. Ice Cube, Cedric and Eve are the original actors returning to the barbershop in Chicago, but there have been some changes since those previous movies, most noticeably being that the shop is now sharing with Regina in charge of a beauty shop. The barbershop humour of old is still there, but now, there seems to be more political talk going on. Everything from Barack Obama to gang violence and shootings in the neighborhood. The gang decides that their best option to put a stop to all the violence is to have a truce for 48 hours-and they also give away free haircuts during the grace period. The humour is still funny, as to be expected, but the rest gets a little heavy handed and unbelievable. I think they should have stuck with the comedy and left the political messages for someone else. Worth watching if you watched the previous movies.
