Chatroom is a disturbing film about a young man named Will (Aaron Johnson from Kickass) who sets up a chat room called "Chelsea Teens!". Four other teenagers join this site and soon they begin exchanging information as though they where life long friends. The chat room is brilliantly shown in physical form and the "friends" effortlessly jump from real life to the chat room which is portrayed as a sleazy run down hotel where all chatrooms are represented by different rooms.

The film is stylishly shot and hats off to director Hideo Nakata for doing something bold and different. The film is most certainly not one to let the younger teens sneak into as they may be drawn by the young skilled cast; the film is a visceral work and will play with your mind. The main topic here is isolation, all these kids have problems and the forlorn Will manipulates them via the chat room. He gets into their heads and influences their lives with devastating effects.

All in all this is a good film, very well shot and well acted Imogen Poots who plays Eva in the film is simply divine and a name we will hear a lot more about.Go into this film knowing as little as possible about it and have an open mind it will pull at the strings in your head and it unearths a dark world that is out there.

Harry Potter, who doesn't know the name Haryy Potter? Truth be told the powers that be could throw out any old garbage film and we the helpless fans would jump upon it and go in our thousands. Thankfully that hasn't happened.

The Deathly Hollows is a fine novel, one every fan should read and the film part 1 is true to the book and every fan will like it. It stars off with the brilliant " 7 Harry's " scene which is fantastic and from there it moves swiftly to the wedding and familiar faces are plentiful. We get to meet all the old favourites Mad Eye,The Weasleys,Lumpkin,Hermoine,Hagrid and of course Harry then we see the warm Weasley families home and all is OK, alas our blood thirst is quenched.

But the problem is after the start the film hits a dead end. We are left with the three main characters in isolation and not much else is going on. This is part of the story and necessary but to be blunt it is a little boring. However the last 30 minutes bring the tale back to life and do more than enough to excite the audience. The film as you all know is a little darker and perhaps more suitable for the 12+ age group.

All in all this is a decent film and is more than enough to keep the Potter Heads out there happy. You cant help but be hungry for more and it is set up perfectly for an epic finally which Im sure we will get.

Make no mistakes about it this is one of the greatest films of all time and it is the greatest animated film of all time.

The story line is flawless, the characters utterly unforgettable, the animation is top notch and the songs will have you singing aloud for years to come. Truly one for the whole family.

The story is about the young Simba, a lion cub, after being tricked into thinking he was responsible for the death of his heroic father Muffasa he flees his homeland to try forget the horrible event. Meanwhile with Simba away and Muffasa dead the evil Scar takes over the kingdom and it falls into darkness.

All is sad and not only your children but you too will be in tears after Muffasa's death and Simba's departure. That is until the hilarious Timone and Pumba enter the fray, rescuing Simba from his despair and showing him the lighter side of life.

Slowly Simba matures and learns it is his destiny and responsibility to face Scar and reclaim the throne. It is a brilliant movie one for the ages and well worth a viewing, go to your local video rental store now or borrow from a friend, you can thank me later.
