Film: Inception (2010)

Inception is a masterpeice. The element of time and sanity has been fully explored by many physocological thrillers but Inception deals with the mystery of dreams. You will be lost in the complexity of the story and fast paced action. The amazing cast brings this exceptional story to life and the beautiful cinematic sequences are no less than we expect from star director Christopher Nolan.
The acting talent includes Ellen Page (whose character is poignantly named Ariadne after the daughter of King Minos in Greek legends - she gave the ball of string to Theseus before he entered the Minotaur's Labyrinth), Joseph Gorden-Levitt (Arthur), Tom Hardy (Eames) and Leonardo di Caprio (Dom), who shines in his portrayal of a guilt-ridden dream theif.
Inception intertwines two main story lines. One is the mystery of Dom Cobb's wife, the second is the question: what is inception? This sensational concept and the dream within dreams creates a suspence that is held throughout the film.
This completely absorbing action-thriller is the best film of the summer and a must see, but please don't think that this film is for serious viewers only, there are laughs with great comic timing from the cast and it is extremely fun viewing...Expect to be blown away, and a little afraid to fall asleep afterwards...

Book: Going Postal By Terry Pratchett

Possibly the best author of modern childrens fiction, Terry Pratchett's Discworld series is completely absorbing. Pratchett's wit and character quirks bring the stories alive and quickly spin a yarn of a world like no other!
In 'Going Postal' we are introduced to the character comically named Moist von Lipwig - a con-artist on death row. The cities tyrant, Vetinari, subtly controls the ensuing mischeif and drama, when Moist is given a choice: death or to become the new Postmaster? Its a tough choice as the postal service has been reduced to a crumbling building containing thousands of decade late letters due to the clacks service -electronic messages-, and then there are the deaths to consider. The past few Postmasters barely lasted a month each... but perhaps it takes a criminal to make an honourable business thrive. And of course there is always Adora Belle Dearheart to add the extra interest factor...
This story is facinatingly woven into a complex tale of the lives of intermingling characters in an imaginary world that is brought to life with humour and a certain eccentricity which is hard not to love. Oh, and remember the minor characters because once you are addicted to the discworld you will begin to notice them popping up in other tales too. It is all incredibly exciting!

Wild Target is the product of five of the best comedic actors of today. Bill Nighy's character Victor Maynard, the imfamous assasin sparkles in the leading role, after being unable to kill the con-artist and head-strong Rose (Emily Blunt) he assigns himself to protect her, and Rupert Grint flexes his comedic muscles as Tony, a young man literally crashing into trouble with this miss-matched pair. The trio is supported by luxurious villian Rupert Everett and assain rival Martin Freeman.
The story is a unique combination of action and gun-sequences, intersplised with comedy excellence. This film provides laughs, scares, jumps and twists -so just hold onto your seat and enjoy the ride!

Film: Toy Story 3 (2010)

You will enter the cinema, no doubt, with the childish thrill only a story of this calibur can create. If after watching all the adverts a short cartoon (Day and Night) begins to play - do NOT panic, you are in the right screening (probably). This innovative little peice is mesmerising...
Nothing of course to the main event! If you are of my age (late teens) then watching Toy Story will take you back to the days when it was the best film around - in recent years with the explosion of 3D cinema, animated films that were once the technological pinnical of film making are now second class. However, nothing can take away the magic of the stories and characters introduced in 'Toy Story 1'. Your eyes may tingle with tears of nostalgia as the film begins, but hold them back, save them for the final flourish when you will cry tears not only for Andy, Woody, Buzz and the gang but for your own toys. Like Special Duck, Humphrey the Camel and Muffin the Rabbit who fell by the wayside as you ran, tumbled, tripped and skipped through childhood.
This finale in the toys adventures completes the triology to perfection, retaining the fun, comedy, pace and sensational turmoil of adventure for the characters, captured at their very best for their final curtain call!
