Pery Jackson and the lightening thief

Percy Jackson is just the average high school student until one day his Greek Mythology textbook comes to life and Zeus, a powerful god accuses Percy of stealing his lightening bolt!

Percy and his friends embark on a journey to find the real thief and prove Percy's innocence.

This is truly a fun filled adventure that is loaded with lots of action, close-calls and discovery! The story line is perfect if you are looking for a little fantasy and nothing too serious. It's a bit of a 'Harry Potter' with a more mature theme.

We liked it and give this film a rating of 3 out of 5.

In cinemas now.

The Spy next door

A fun- filled movie about a retired CIA operative who is left to look after his girlfriends kids for one afternoon.

As if that isn’t challenging enough, a twist in the story really gives Bob ho (played by Jackie Chan) a run for his money.

You can expect a lot of action, karate and round house kicks. It is fun, fast- paced and quite hilarious. If you are looking for something light hearted (with not much of a story line) for Saturday afternoon then this movie is the one to see!

We rate this movie 3 out of 5.

Dear John

A beautiful story about a young college girl and a patriotic solider.

They fall in love and make plans for their future but unforeseen events drive them in different directions. The only thing that holds them together are the letters she writes.

A romance that is suitable for anyone who wants to watch something meaningful. The storyline is sweet but typical yet the acting is fantastic.

We love Amanda Seyfried in this one.

We rate this movie 4 out of 5.

The Lovely bones

Lovely bones is a compelling story about a man (and his family) who is determined to find out who killed his daughter.

Through her ‘phantom-help’, she watches them from heaven and gives him clues which lead him on the journey she took the night of her murder.

Starring Susan Sarandon this story is quite engaging and will have you clinging to your seat with anticipation and perhaps even a little anxiety.

If you are looking for something that isn’t mindless but isn’t as serious as a lot of the films on circuit at the moment then see this one. The effects are stunning and the story line is good.

We give this film 3 out of 5.

In cinemas 19 February.

Up in the air

While George Clooney fans will say this movie was excellent, we thought it was forgettable.. definitely not Oscar nomination material (it was nominated by the way.. why? This I can’t tell you).

The story tells of a man whose job it is, to fly around the world firing people on behalf of companies who are unwilling to do their own dirty work.

Clooney is this man, lonely but professional, he cares little for human relationships and places value on... on nothing really.

It’s a hard film, difficult to get into and quite frankly it leaves you feeling grateful that you aren’t him.

If thought provoking melodrama’s are your thing- see it. Otherwise leave it for the die-hard cinema goers.

We rate this film 2 out of 5.

The Wolfman

If you are expecting something similar to Twighlight then you will be sorely disappointed. Image ‘sleepy hollow’ (starring Jonny Depp), Michael Jackson’s Thriller music video and add a strong dose of cheese and that will give you, The Wolfman.

Benicio Del Toro was really scrapping the bottom of the bucket when he chose this one! It’s the classic werewolf story we has all seen and heard before just without good graphics.

The frights are predictable and the lines are lame however if you are easily scared and a huge Antony Hopkins/ Emily Blunt or del Toro fan, then see it!

One thing I can guarantee is, you won’t want it for your dvd collection!

We rate this movie 1 out of 5.
