The Possession!

The Possession (15) is this summer's supernatural horror film to have really been noticed. Like The Devil Inside it is based on a true story and yet somehow The Possession is more believable and bearable to watch.

In all honesty I really wasn't looking forward to this film, I've had to many bad experiences with horror films in the cinema , films such as The Women in Black....believe it or not. However I absolutely loved this film.....LOVED IT! Director Ole Bornedal had thrown everything you need to make a great horror film together, such as speedy sudden transitions between scenes, the creepy music that plays just before something jumps out and of course the young vulnerable child that gets under your skin so badly you will definitely see her in your nightmares!

Natasha Calis plays Em, a young girl who falls in love with a wooden black box that just so happens to hold an evil Jewish demon inside..that of course wants to take Em's soul for itself. One of the reasons this film is so likeable is because of Calis's amazing acting throughout. For example in one scene she demonstrates an almost bipolar scenario, changing from nice to evil in split second till finally making out that she is being beaten up right in front of her baffled father. Calis definitely had me on the edge of my seat through the whole film as she manages to create a creepy atmosphere within the cinema, you almost feel as if she is right behind you!

Moreover The Possession is a hit because it gets your heart racing during every scene! For instance you don't actually get to see the demon that has apparently possessed Em until the very end and therefore you spent the whole time questioning whether there really is a demon or if Em is just barking mad. Strange things of course start to happen within the family home such as an invasion of fluttery insects, a dramatic change in Em's behaviour and the most creepiest scene which involves Calis acting in a animal state chewing on a raw slice of steak whilst talking in a deep undertone and throwing glass bottles at her mother!

On the other hand my only downfall with the whole film came right at then end. I was on the edge of my seat, heart pounding and my scarf ready to throw in front of my face...and then Boom! an awful CGI 'demon' appears...In all honesty the whole film was amazing because we never actually got to see the demon and therefore when I eventually saw something which looked like Gollum and Grima Wormtounge had a baby appeared, I was a little bit disappointed and suddenly the whole film didn't seem scary.


However all of that aside the film has been very popularised, mainly because Sam Raimi assisted the production of the fim. Raimi who is famous for films such a Drag Me To Hell and The Evil Dead. All in all I don't normally recommend horror films but this one is a must see! I rate it 7/10.

Iron Man 3 ! ....Hello!

Super duper excited for next year's Iron Man 3! Tony Stark returns to the big screens to finally create an Iron Man trilogy, and my god we are excited!

The second Iron man created a whopping $623.9 million through box office... compared to the likes of Thor and Captain America which only managed to make $449.3 million and $368.6 million! So I think its safe to say Iron Man wins the popularity vote! After the Avengers we witnessed Robert Downey Jr flaunting his Iron suit and kicking major ass! As a result we are now super super excited for the third Iron Man!


What to expect?

There has been no plot released yet, however in a interview with Mr Downey he said 'While I'm Physically able I'd like to leave it all on the field and I'd like there to be ten moments where people wonder how I was actually stupid enough to do that stunt. Most of all me.' Therefore we can expect extreme action scenes with some of the most incredible and outrageous stunts done yet, most of which Robert does himself without a stunt double. Looks like he is giving Tom cruise a run for his money!

Moreover there has been rumours that Tony Stark comes face to face with a new enemy known as The Mandarin while in China. The Mandarin is one of Marvel Comic's most intelligent super-villains and known as Iron Man's arch enemy. He inherited his father's wealth as a child and used it to train himself in martial arts and some of the most complex science, however after being evicted by the Chinese government he is out to seek his revenge.  These rumours were quickly settled as soon as the producers cast Ben Kingsley. Who else better to play a villain, whom through science has created some of the most outstanding technology
to aid him on his mission to world domination? Oh yeah...Ben Kingsley..

Finally Iron Man 3 is expected to show Tony Stark at his weakest. Mandarin has vowed to teach Tony Stark a lesson (as witnessed in the footage shown at Comic Con 2012) Like Bruce Wayne in the new Batman, Tony will be stripped from all technology and weaponry with no help from the likes of Nick Fury or Black Widow. Instead (as we all would have expected), Stark has to use his brain to save himself! ...oooo exciting! Be prepared to be on the edge of your seats people, as Iron Man 3 will be released in 2013!
