The spirit of adventure is always moving us forward, but it can be difficult to reflect on the journey while you’re in motion. Recent scholarship has unearthed a festival, once observed by our forebearers, that addresses just this notion. The Wayfarer’s Reverie honors the traveler inside each of us, encouraging revelry and revisitation. The world is yours to explore—again or for the first time. Join the celebration!

Mr. Church reunites the Expendables for what should be an easy paycheck, but when one of their men is murdered on the job, their quest for revenge puts them deep in enemy territory and up against an unexpected threat.

Now, anyone coming to this website will already know what this film is all about, so too hell with the synopsis and down to the nitty gritty, this film is awesome, but not cos its excellently written and acted, mainly because its not
This is a modern take on just how cheesy those 80's action flicks were, corny one liners, 80's film jokes and action hero one upmanship. The one thing I was surprised about is there is a LOT of dialogue in this one compared to the first, there is a full blown story going on, yes there was in the first, BUT it was more about the action, whereas this one the action is lead by the story and is actually MORE awesome for it too
yeah yeah, its full of the great 80's action stars, but its the newer recruits (and I include Jason Statham in that point) and I'm actually surprised how much I liked Liam Hemsworth's character Billy. Considering how much he has been in, compared to his older brother, Thor himself (Chris Hemsworth) he is relatively unknown
Jean-Claude Van Damme plays the token 80's bad guy (Vilain, lame 80's style baddy name) and does a great ham up on the bad guy roll too, but personally I would have preffered him be a good guy and join the team, but hey, the good guys had Chuck Norris, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the team up this time, so hey, can get over not seeing JCVD again in the next one
Other new face Maggie (Nan Yu) adds a bit of female quota to the screen and has a fun sadistic streak too and humanises the team too. If you liked the first film, you will love this one too
Easy 8 outta 10, just cos of pure awesomeness

An expansion of the universe from Robert Ludlum's novels, centered on a new hero whose stakes have been triggered by the events of the previous three films.

This film starts out awesomely, but made me feel bloody cold (maybe not helped by the soaking I got on the way to the cinema) straight off the bat, as we start in a frozen waterfall creek in Alaska with Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) training and on a scavenger hunt training.
We're very quickly introduced to the new program Aaron is part of, a couple of steps up from the Treadstone Program that Jason Bourne took down and made public in the other films and this time, its a drug helped super soldier program and damn, if those pills were real, I'd take them each day! Might even be worth selling my soul to the government for too (although the training looks bloody cold and being hunted by wolves must suck)
We're soon introduced to one of the lab workers that does the soldiers work ups every three months, Dr. Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz) and how her life goes to hell as one of her coworkers turns terminator and kills all the other doctors on the program, she finds herself back at home, tieing up some loose ends and about to go get a flight to her sisters in Montreal, when FBI and a doctor come to check up on her and turn out to be a government team to silence her, Aaron saves her and they make a break for it
Bourne Legacy is typical Bourne without Jason Bourne himself (although this is mostly carrying on during the events of the seconed Bourne film and the start of the third, even including big scenes from Bourne 2, which was pretty cool
Some have said its a little slow, but actually, thats one of the films strengths, its methodical, fight scenes are short and sweet takedowns rather than long drawn out encounters and the final chase is compelling to watch (why do Bike chases come across better nowadays than car chases?)
A great film and for fans of the Bourne trilogy a must see, especially as its the start of more in the series, so thats awesome!
a solid film through out 8 outta 10

Determined to make her own path in life, Princess Merida defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. Granted one wish, Merida must rely on her bravery and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse.

OK, from the out set, I know it's a Disney Pixar film, so if you are not into cutesy Disney, then you probably won't like it, but if you give it a chance, you bloody well will, I loved this film
The voice cast for this are, of courser, suitably stunning, Kelly Macdonald brings a warmth to the main character of Merida, in her family battle with herwinderful, yet misguided mother Elinor (the wonderful Emma Thompson), as an adult, you can see both sides of the war and it genuinely drags you in. All helped by Merida's triplet baby brothers (who are the baby brothers everyone really wants, but parents wish they never had… like three mute Stewie Griffins, they get into all sorts of mischief and mayhem and are generally darned cute throughout (I see a Pixar short about these three in the future))
The real stand out character in the side story of why Merida needs to marry, but also would rather she follow her own path is her father, The Bear King Fergus (Billy Connolly), who is stand out brilliant throughout the film, especially when sparring with the three lords, Lord Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane), Lord MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd) and Lord Macintosh (Craig Ferguson), who come to Merida's castle with their three son's to vye to take her hand in marriage and become the next King, obviously the three sons all have some ineptitude and these are brilliantly played out (especiallys Young Macguffin's hideously strong Glaswegian acent that no one can really understand)
Obviously this is all too much for Merida though as she makes off in anger after a fight with her mother about wanting to live her own live and the Wisps show her the way to an old Witches home (Julie Walters) and preceeds to give Merida a potion laced cake to change her mother's plans for her mariage, however the spell turns her mother into a bear and Merida must not only help her mother become human again, but bond with her again as mother and daughter
This was a genuinely heart tugging tale, with lots of great comedy moments from the triplets (especially when they also get turned into bear cubs, so CUTE!!!) and of course from Billy Connolly's King Fergus!
Brave will definitely be finding a place in my Disney/Pixar dvd/bluray shelf when it releases and even if you don't have kids, this is a great feel good film that needs to be watched
Genuinely enjoyment from this film, an easy 9 outta 10
