Cloud Atlas

Director: Tom Tykwer

Cast: Halle Berry, Tom Hanks, James D’Arcy, Ben Whishaw and Hugh Grant.

The spiritual story, in which souls move from era to era, and from life to life, is filled with some of Hollywood’s top notch actors. In the film we see Tom Hanks play a wide range of characters, in one scene his a tattooed island chief, then he plays a devious ship’s doctor, and he also plays a greedy landlord, a nuclear scientist and a gangster in London. Halle Berry also goes through various changes and shares a bond with a young aspiring musician a role played by Ben Whishaw. Together they create music that is used throughout the film.

Should you not be a character who lacks patients for lengthy films, then I suggest you do not even bother watching.

Alex Cross

Director: Rob Cohen

Cast: Tyler Perry, Matthew Fox and Cicely Tyson

The crime thriller stars Tyler Perry as the protagonist and Matthew Fox plays the villain. Alex Cross (Perry) a police lieutenant who lives in Detroit with his pregnant wife and. Cross is commissioned to investigate a crime committed by Picasso (Matthew Fox), who killed a businesswoman. As a thriller, the film carries the same characteristics that a thriller boosts.
