Director Antoine Fuqua’s Brooklyn's Finest" is perhaps the most highly regarded  film he has come out with to date (aside from Training Day of course) revealing a convincing motion picture of nerve-racking criminal moods and multi-character tragedy. 
The basic plot of the film is based on three New York City police officers who’s job’s and life itself,  have reached a point of no return. Eddie (Richard Gere) is seven days from retirement. Left to contemplate an empty existence where suicide is a daily consideration, his only emotional outlet is a well-rehearsed prostitute. Tango (Don Cheadle) an undercover cop posing as a drug lord, is frustrated with his stint as a thug. Watching his criminal compatriot (Wesley Snipes) return to power after a lengthy prison stretch, he is forced to choose between his sense of honor and his job as his superiors force him to turn on his drug family. Sal (Ethan Hawke) is a family man and a practicing Catholic facing a pregnant wife at home suffering from mold poisoning. Attempting to steal drug money to purchase a new dwelling, he is pushed to his limits as his police duty stands in the way of his domestic dreams.

Brooklyn’s Finest is a gritty, hotheaded in-the-moment screenplay that intertwines storylines of diverse emotional baggage. It depicts the lives of three tired men at the end of their rope, trapped behind police badges, who hope for any sort of exit to run away from their professional obligations whilst their situations spin violently out of control.

The perfect blend of crisscrossing suspense set-pieces and violence will have you on the edge of your seat the entire film. The unpredictability of the script will leave you shell shocked and the accuracy in depicting the tales of an intimidating criminal community will certainly be refreshing and awakening.
I personally loved this movie and would recommend it to anyone that likes hardcore, down and dirty gangsta movies. I’ll give this 4 out of 5 movie junky points!

For those who believe that sequels are either wildly successful or massively disastrous, director Jon Favreau may have found a solid middle ground with his ''Iron Man 2'' flick.

There is an air of freshness about ''Iron Man 2'' and the pace of the film moves quickly enough for there never to be a dull moment. Some of the action sequences are just down-right breath taking. I can recall several moments where I had to pick my jaw off the ground (not literally) after witnessing what can only be described as state of the art visual effects. They really stepped it up a notch!

There are plenty of superstars in this movie as well. (Samuel L. Jackson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson- who might I add oozes sexiness whilst she kick’s ass in some scenes- and Don Cheadle, to mention but a few.

To those around him Tony Stark a.k.a Iron Man (Downey Jr.) is having the time of his life, relishing in his fame and ongoing success. He laps up the attention with lavish parties and theatrical public displays. But beneath the cocky exterior, he is suffering and deteriorating at the hands of a life-threatening condition. In the knowledge that villain Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) is plotting a revenge attack with the ultimate goal of annihilating Stark, he pushes on, wearing the burden of superhero on his own failing shoulders. Meanwhile, Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) of Hammer Industries lures the genius of Vanko, in an attempt to win an arms race to recreate and multiply an army of warriors in the image and boasting the destructive potential of the Iron Man suit.

For much of the film we're concerned more with Tony Stark's progressive downfall and self-destruction than any world-saving duty that there may be in front of him. There's a lack of a real looming sense of doom that we've come to expect from these films, that keeps your heart racing throughout. Iron Man2 However holds its own, off the back of the massively successful original -where a movie about a superhero who may feature a lot less in most pimple-faced dweebs comic book stacks quickly grew to post itself among the Batman’s and Spider Man’s of the Marvel world.

In the end, it may not knock you on your backside, but you will definitely be taken for a ride.

I’ll give this 3.5 out of 5 movie junky points.

''Kick-Ass'' is a brilliant film; lots of fun, lots of action, lots of laughs, and some extremely cool death sequences! It’s as violent and as disturbing as you'll get, and I suppose this is where I should also mention that it’s a comedy! Yes, it is a comedy!
Imagine Quentin Tarantino doing a Marvel comic book movie and you almost get the idea of what to expect from the Matthew Vaughn directed ''Kick-Ass'' - effectively, it's a bloody, bad-ass action film that's littered with as much humor and pop-culture references as it is discarded limbs and oversized weaponry.
Why can't a normal kid be a superhero?
That's the question that ultimately leads to young high school student, Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) to order a costume online, and take on the super-cool assumed name, ''Kick-Ass''.
With baton in hand, the wanabe superman prowls the streets looking for criminal activity - jumping into the fire at any and every opportunity. He quickly discovers he's not the only one who gets a kick out of sparring with scum - a father-and-daughter duo, going by the name of Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz), who are significantly more experienced in the art of the kill than Kick-Ass is, also patrol the streets of New York City looking to eradicate bad guys.
This film is vivacious, but funny at the same time, with more than a few parts that will inevitably become highly-watched and often-referenced cinematic moments. In fact, one of the film's only downfalls is a slightly slow paced first-half.
I can't think of a better movie to go watch at the cinema with the boy’s (and girls, that aren’t fazed by violence and blood) - it's a blast! Kids, please try and remember that this is just a movie, so don't take it literally by trying any the stunts you see on screen at home. Lol. Parental guidance is advised!

This futuristic shoot 'em up sci fi drama questions the medical business and ethics whilst serving up a rip-snorting good time for action fans.
Set in the near future when artificial organs can be bought on credit, it revolves around a man who struggles to make the payments on a heart he has purchased from the Union.

The ‘Union’ pushes artificial organs on people at a high premium, one that most families can't afford. If you can't pay, Repo men come to collect! Remy (Jude Law) and Jake (Forest Whitaker) are long time friends and the best of the best in the Repo world, until one fateful night when Remy joins the ranks of people indebted to the Union for their lives. With a literal change of heart, Remy can't continue brutalizing people for being behind on payments and goes on the run with Beth (Alice Braga) who is also in debt and out of time.

Admittedly ''Repo Men'' isn't full of too many surprises in the first half, outside of impressive brutality and gore scenes, but in the second half, first time feature director Miguel Sapochnik channels robbed Oscar-nominee Quentin Tarantino and directs some over the top, impressive action scenes that left the audience clapping. Not one to turn away from blood, even I squirmed at some of the horrific scenes of cutting, ripping and bleeding.

If the rest of the film was as good as the second half, this could have been a five starer, but the slow lead up made it feel like it dragged at times. There's also a twist at the end that could beat out ''Shutter Island'' for surprise factor.

I give this a three out of five!
