Zodiac









The zodiac is a 2007 film directed by David Fincher, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr and Mark Ruffalo. Based in the late 1960s to early 1970s Jake Gyllenhaal as a cartoonist who becomes an amateur detective through his obsession with tracking down a serial killer that goes by “the zodiac killer” who is an unidentified individual on a killing spree in northern California. The Zodiac is a serial killer thats committed murders and reported them himself, he leaves authorities creative and complex riddles as a clue for the next occurrence, how ever the only one thats cracking them is a cartoonist from San Fransisco.
This is the kind of movie that just suck you in even if you just land on it half way through. Its not only the plot or the cast that does this but its the feel, eeriness and constantly building tension that’ll make you want to watch more. Whilst watching you not only taken on the journey of someone doing everything they possibly can to stop evil, but also a perception of the zodiac killer himself as the scenes are set as if you were there watching.

Fate of the Furious

The wait has finally come to an end, the latest from the F&F series is finally here! This movie is an absolute blockbuster, passing a billion dollars at the global box office and shattering the previous record that The Force Awakens has set. The movie still keeps its style with car chases and cool explosions here and there, not to mention the anticipated fight scenes between the toughest characters. Going into the movie with the trailer in mind, the combination of the two really sinks in and blends beautifully. If you're an F&F die hard fan, then prepare yourself for your movie of the year. The Fate of The Furious had a perfect combination of drama, action, and comedy. The romantic drama with Dom &Letty, the energetic rivalry between Hobbs & Deckard, and of course the bursting comedy between Tej and Roman. All of these factors mash up to provide the viewers with a guaranteed brilliant cinematic experience. As a true fan myself, I had many...

Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark

Taking it back to another old school movie this week; Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark. I first watched this movie when I was about 12 and have watched it countless times since and could watch it a million times more. This movie keeps you hooked from beginning to end with an incredible and upbeat soundtrack, fast paced adventure, incredible fight scenes and successive suspenseful, death-defying cliff-hangers. The special effects are amazing for the time period the movie was made, and the fact that old school methods (no CGI) were used to create the special effects makes this movie that much more remarkable. Like many other action movies, Raiders also has a bit of romance thrown in there. However, unlike other movies where the female lead is often a damsel in distress who constantly needs rescuing, in Raiders the female lead, Marion, is a hardcore and formidable woman who can definitely take care of herself. Now of course I can’t write about Raider without mentioning...

The School Of Rock

If you haven’t guessed by now, my favourite types of movies are those with amazing sound tracks. So sticking with that theme, let’s talk about The School of Rock. This musical comedy follows the story of a rock musician Dewey, played by Jack Black, who gets kicked out of his band and then impersonates his roommate, a substitute teacher at a prep school, to make some cash. Soon after, Dewey discovers the kids are amazing musicians and teaches them the ways of rock, in an attempt to win Battle of the Bands and the accompanying prize money.  The sound track to this movie is filled with some great classic rock songs including “Back in Black” by AC/DC, “Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin and “Edge of Seventeen” by Stevie Nicks. The other thing I love about the soundtrack in this movie is that it showcases the amazing talent of young musicians. And of course, they couldn’t have cast a better actor/musician main character; Jack Black’s energy, comedic facial expressions and musi...
