Oh heavens above Chris Pine and Denzal Washington! I think this movie requires two reviews, one for a leave your brian at the door and one for the real film buff:
Leave your brian at the door review:
Oh heavens a train on the loose and a rescue sequence that leaves you on the edge of your seat. The big action scenes and big budget for this film is evident but some of the scenes are almost ruined by the constant news crossovers.
If your in for a dumb night at the cinema this one is for you, it's a basic plot with a few little twists and a big of character development that you don't see coming but other than that it's a fairly standard action/thriller picture.
Film Buff Review:
My friend who I saw this with said it was the worst film he ever saw. So it had it's faults, the pliot, the daughters of Denzal working at Hooters.
So yeah this film is fairly basic and nothing ground breaking, but it's also non offensive film so maybe lets give it 2 and a half stars

2010 in Film - The best, no worst, just the best
So instead of my best and worst films of 2010, I decided to just focus on the best, you can read my BLOG from last year and see what truly sucked!
So best, late release has to go to Love & Other Drugs for coming out of nowhere at the end of the year and being a truly terrific piece of cinema.
BEST hyped film of 2010 - The Social Network, who knew JT could act and be a complete tool at the same time.
BEST jump out of the seat film, Paranormal Activity 2, finally a good sequel in 2010!
BEST Teen drama/coming of age/comedy blah - Easy A, leaps and bounds ahead of the competition.
BEST low budget film - The Disappearance of Alice Creed - This could be the most perfect and suspenseful film of 2010, catch it on DVD, it's awesome!
BEST blockbuster of 2010 - Tomorrow When the War Begun, great to see the Aussie's making a kick ass big budget action film
BEST NZ/small film - Boy, love, love, loved it fully sick as bro
BEST 3D movie - By a million and one dance moves Step Up 3D
BEST Aussie Movie - Animal Kingdom - Hopefully the producers of Underbelly were watching how too make crime drama without four million tits involved.
BEST Music film - The Runaways - the bitch from Twilight can actually act.
BEST controversial film of 2010 - Kick Ass, an 11 year old girl who murders people and says the C word, my kinda film. She made me want to have kids.
BEST drama - Precious - Mariah Carey, also an act, fantastic and very sad film, but well acted and inspiring.
BEST musical on the big screen - this generally suck but Bran Nue Day was a fun and star studded affair, Missy Higgins, the Debutt queen, Dan Sultan, Geoffrey Rush and more, AWESOME!

Film Freak - The Kings Speech
Okay blog readers, you know I hate Colin Firth but even I can't fault him in the Kings Speech. Alongside Aussie icon Mr Geoffrey Rush, he is flawless and likewise with Mr Rush himeself. Helena Bonham Carter was terricfic as well as Colin Firths supportive and at times simply blissful wife.
Guy Pearce also was decent in his lesser role giving him two awesome flicks in a row (first being the terrific Animal Kingdom).
So The Kings Speeh is a film lover and reviewers dream, it's well acted, has a great script and it's sucks you in from the early moments.
The Kings Speech is an early 2011 BLOG fav rating 4 solid shiny stars.

New Years Eve @ a little park called Luna Park
An ideal New Years is spent at home for a nana like me but an ideal new years in 2010 was spent with a lovely boy and the party goers at Luna Park this past year for me.
Luna Park was completely the most perfect place to catch up with the Fireworks, so great rides and have a dance and a jig to the likes of the FAB Nina Las Vegas or Sneaky Sound System.
This New Years X was my favourite new years of all time and I owe a lot of it to Luna Park and it's magic party atmosphere, it's rides and it's easy in and out to end the night on a high by getting home easily and without too much fuss and bother, love it!
Luna Park at New Years definitely my pick already for NYE 2011/2012, 5 stars!
