In the Heart of the Sea
(12A)
– what’s it about? The story of Moby Dick…
This
was a mystery showing at the cinema so I didn’t know what to expect, I probably
would have seen it anyway though. I was a bit omg about the whole whaling
thing, it upset me quite a bit and I was definitely rooting for the whales
rather than the hoomans in this one. That said though it was an interesting
take on the story, the characters were pretty good, parts were pretty eeeeewwww
but overall it was a good watch.

Star Wars: The Force
Awakens (12A)
– what’s it about? The First Order have picked up where the Empire left off and
are on a quest for galactic domination.
A
lot of people bitched about I, II & III as they weren’t Star Warsie enough
and were just generally pile of wank, so I was a bit worried about this one but
I have to say I was impressed. It had the same style of IV, V, VI the feeling
and the way it was shot was spot on to give it that classic Star Wars feel…and
people are now complaining its just the same as them…make your minds up people!
Heh. Yes there were a few bits that I thought yep that’s like the same but
generally it was a very Star Warsie movie…if you like Star Wars there’s
probably no doubt you’ll love this. Ok and I think I managed to do all that
without spoilers!

Men in Black 3 (DVD – PG) – what’s it about?
Boris the Animal goes back in time to try to change the future…
Another
MIB movie and another barrel of amusing alien humour and general antics,
usually after a few films a series starts to get a little weaker, though with
MIB (like some others) they manage to keep up the concept and the quality of
the film. Yes it has its meh moments and things that have been done a little
before but that’s what happens in sequels, though they have managed to keep
this pretty fresh, it still has some great moments that’ll make you lol. It’s
definitely another fun filled movie!

Starship Rising (DVD –
15) –
what’s it about? When a warship capable of destroying a planet is ordered to
destroy earth its crew rebel…
There
is good sci-fi, there is bad sci-fi then there is good bad sci-fi, sadly this
one falls into second category – bad sci-fi. Its concept was interesting and it
could have been amazing but sadly the movie just lacked in general so that was
lost, it had potential. The space scenes and graphics were ok, it was sadly the
BMX, paintball and snorkelling costumes that made it a bit laughable, I could
forgive that if the acting and script immersed me in the story and I lost myself
in the worlds but sadly that didn’t happen…so much hope, lost, and please don’t
get me started on the ending!
The Good Dinosaur (PG) – what’s it about? A
young dinosaur gets separated from his family and has to find his way home…
This
isn’t one of Pizxar’s greatest movies but it’s still good, there isn’t much for
adults as it’s very much a kid’s movie, that said though it was a really lovely
story, basically like Finding Nemo but with dinosaurs. It’s worth curling up on
the couch with your family to watch!

Sisters (15) – what’s it about? Two
sisters return to their family home after news their parents have decided to
sell it…
Ok
I thought this was going to be a big pile of crap, how the hell could they make
a movie about this, come on, really! Though…I actually quite enjoyed it, it had
its funny moments, even though it’s a girlie film it’s not overly girlie,
though it’s probably one you’d watch with your mates, with some wine and ice
cream.

Meet the Fockers (DVD –
12A) –
what’s it about? The sequel to Meet the Parents, with time getting closer to
their wedding it’s time for the two sets of parents to meet.
If
you liked Meet the Parents then you’ll probably enjoy this one as its all along
the same lines, though personally I don’t think its as funny but it’s still got
some classic lol moments in it.

Real Steel (DVD – 12A) – what’s it about? A
boy is reunited with his father and together they enter some robot fighting
competitions.
This
is a family movie, it’s got a good storyline and action in the way of the robot
fights, I actually really enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised that it
actually had a good storyline which was nice, yeah definitely check it out J

Universal Soldier: The Return
(DVD – 18) –
what’s it about? The Unisol program is getting shut down and the soldiers
aren’t too happy about it.
I
kinda had a bit of high hopes for this one, being that Universal Soldier was a
good movie but after this I came away feeling meh. I was a little bored to tell
you the truth in it, yes the action was good but I don’t know it just felt a
little lacking…

Sinbad: The Fifth Voyage
(DVD – 12) –
what’s it about? Sinbad must save the princess from her evil captor.
It
was great to see a movie with model monsters rather than everything being
super-animated, that said the budget on this one was pretty low but it actually
worked really well. It’s kinda one of those B movies that turned out to be
pleasantly surprising. If you like your monsters old school and your acting a
little interesting then you’ll love this one!

Men in Black 2 (DVD –
PG) –
what’s it about? Jay must get Kay to come back and help him save the planet
from destruction.
The
sequel to MIB! If you’ve seen it you kinda have an idea of what to expect,
aliens, humour, some action and of course a bit of plot. This is another great
one that is worth watching or re-watching just for the fun factor, as you can’t
beat some alien shenanigans.
I know recently I haven’t really posted much on here apart from movie reviews but I’ve kept my Facebook up to date with some random stuff…I now have found a few moments so I thought I’d share them with you here also… Here's some random fandom silly cartoons from me to you...

So here are some cute Legacy of Kain inspired silly cartoons…
Young Kain: I has pointy face
Elder Kain: I need a smaller throne
Raziel I only wants some trousers....
Janos is happy as he's finally figured out how to sit down with freaking wings!
Black Mass (15) – what’s it about? The
story of Jimmy Bulger, a gangster, in the US in the 1970s
This
was kinda good, a little messed up in places, don’t get me wrong I did enjoy it
but it just seemed a little too long. I’m not sure how much of it is truth or
just made up to sell the movie, but thankfully it wasn’t overly unnerving like
some of these true crime movies are though.

Bridge of Spies (12A) – what’s it about? Set
at the time of the Cold War both Russia
and the US
have spies, a Russian spy gets caught and is to be given a fair trial…
I
wasn’t too fussed about seeing this from the adverts but it turned out to be a
really interesting and good movie. The story was really good, once again though
I’m not sure how much was fabricated and how much was real, but it was still
enjoyable and entertaining to watch, kept me interested!

Men In Black (MIB) (DVD - PG)– what’s it about? A
young NYPD cop finds out that aliens exist and he joins the Men in
Black…basically the FBI for aliens…
This
movie, got to love it, yeah it’s a little old now but it’s still one of those
that makes you chuckle and smile no matter how many times you watch it, ok that
might just be me but yeah it’s a good fun family movie!

Coyote Ugly (DVD - 12) – what’s it about? A
young musician moves to the city where she tries to get a record deal and ends
up working at an interesting bar.
This
is a girlie movie, so you know what to expect its going to have its romance and
what not, but still so as a girlie movie this is a good watch, it’s a feel good
movie that will make you be like ah sweet without you wanting to barf.

The Expendables (DVD - 15) – what’s it about? A team
that carry out some questionable missions…
Action
movie, guns, explosions and all that jazz, you know the drill, it’s got a basic
story with lots of mayhem going on. This is a good one though, keeps you
entertained and is amusing in parts too.
Spectre (12A) – what’s it about?
With the 00 program being closed down, Bond must uncover the truth of the
cryptic message he receives from the grave…
If
you know James Bond you kinda know exactly what to expect with this one, car
chases, gun fights, explosions and Bond getting it on with at least one pretty
woman…so you know the drill. It was good, don’t get me wrong, but all so
predictable and been done before.

The Hunger Games
Mockingjay Part 2 (12A) – what’s it about? A continuation on from Mockingjay Part
1 this one wraps up the Hunger games series :’(
It’s
been a long road which has sadly come to an end with this finale. After being a
little disappointed by P1 this one definitely makes up for it, P1 just being a
lead into this movie, though I really recommend watching them one after the
other as it gives it a massive boost to the atmosphere and story. It is once
again, filled with a good mix of the action and story, but be prepared to take
your tissues as you may need them!

Zombieland (DVD – 15) – what’s it about? A young
college kid travelling across Zombie infested America who teams up with a
gun-totting Twinkie hunting Texan!
Zombies,
comedy, zombies, killing, more zombies, yep yet another zombie comedy but this
is pretty damn amusing in parts, it definitely has its moments. If you like the
whole zombie apocalypse deal and
you like it with a bit of a random streak then
this one will be right up your alley.

Beowulf (DVD – 12A) – what’s it about? The
story of Beowulf, a hero who sets out to defeat Grendel, a monster, who’s
tormenting a village.
This
is one of those movies that’s great but a little weird at the same time, I
think its probably the animation of it that makes it a little weird, don’t get
me wrong though I do like animated stuff but I think if this was live action it
would give it a little more depth. It’s a good story though that unfolds
throughout, so it’s definitely worth a look especially if you like Vikings and
mythology and stuff!
Scouts Guide To The
Zombie Apocalypse
(15) – what’s it about? A group of Scouts are camping out; they return to town to
find there’s been a virus outbreak…a zombie virus outbreak…
I
expected this to be pretty bad but it was actually bloody good and funny in
parts too, not the best movie ever but way better than those zombie horrible romance
films that came out *shudders*…anyway teenage boys, zombies, weed whackers and
the will for survival, yeah it was a laugh, it me lol and go ewww too, worth a
look if you have a bit of a dark sense of humour.

Dark Universe (DVD – 15) – what’s it about?
Loki tries to take over the world and Thor must stop him…
This
is a B movie; don’t get me wrong some B movies are amazing but this
was kinda meh. It’s based on the Norse gods…and there’s some of it that screams
rip off of other movies heh. Apart from that the
film would have been alright if it wasn’t for the really really really annoying
actress they had to play the main female lead…at points I wanted to jump out a window and run away screaming flailing my arms in the
air. Anyway, yeah it was ok to pass the time but that was sadly all.
The
Last Witch Hunter (12A) – what’s it about? Cursed with eternal life, Kaulder
helps uphold the treaty between witches and man…
This
was way better than I thought it was going to be, yeah it looks good from the
trailers but it’s better than that! The story was pretty cool, it actually had
a bit of a plot unlike some actiony type movies, it also had a great lot of
action and supernaturalness thrown in to boot! It’s definitely worth checking
out J

Hitman
(DVD – 15) – what’s it about? Agent 47 finds himself being pursued by Interpol after
a hit doesn’t go so according to plan…
This
is bloody good, if you like the Hitman games…or just know something about them
you’ll probably enjoy this, it’s a great action movie that does good for the
franchise rather than some of those game movies that completely suck balls. So
yeah if you like action movies with some story thrown in for good measure this
is definitely worth checking out!
CrimsonPeak (15) – what’s it
about? Edith moves in with her new husband and his sister to their old mansion
in the middle of nowhere, everything’s not as it seems and things go bump in
the night.
I
wouldn’t say this was scary scary; it’s a little spooky and more icky in parts.
The story though is really great, though we figured the
story out quite early on it was still fab even if a tad predictable, that said
it’s so worth watching if you like horror stories.
Pan (PG) – what’s it about?
Peter ends up being taken from the orphanage to the world of Neverland where he
must prove he is the Pan.
This
is the beginning of the story of how Peter became Peter Pan rather than the
later story as you know it with him meeting Wendy and fighting Capt Hook. So this is
more of an opening movie, a place setter for future movies, and these are usually
a little meh in parts. This is good though, enjoyable, it was interesting to
see a little more of Neverland too and a few bits of information about Peter
thrown in. It’s worth watching if you like the Peter Pan stories…though nothing
will ever beat Hook!

O
Sicario (15) – what’s it about? An
FBI agent joins a special task force to tackle the war on drugs.
This
is a pretty messed up, it’s all about Mexican cartels and drugs being smuggled
into the US and the US taking a stand against it, bending and breaking the
rules to get results…so with that said you can imagine that its pretty dark in
parts. It’s worth seeing if you like crime and cop stuff.

Debug (15) – what’s it about? Six
hacker prisoners are sent to clear up the tech on a derelict spaceship…
I
got this thinking yeah sounds interesting, when I turned it on to my surprise
it was Directed by David Hewlett and starred Jason Momoa (if you know Stargate
Atlantis you’ll know these are both stars from the show) so I was like OMG!. This
was a lot more sane than “A Dogs Breakfast” which Hewlett also directed. It was
an interesting movie, it’s kinda a sci-fi horror, it’s pretty low budget…more
of a B movie, but it’s still good especially when you think about it afterwards.
The Martian (12A) – what’s it about?
Mark an astronaut ends up stranded on Mars and he has to survive against all
odds!
This
was pretty good – and yes I managed to put “Matt Damannn” out my head for most of
this movie – damn Team America!
Anyway yeah it was a good survival story – but don’t worry the whole movie
isn’t just Mark alone prancing around on a planet, it focuses on the rescue
mission too. It has its funny moments and very serious ones too; it’s definitely
worth a watch.

Lord of War (DVD – 15) – what’s it about? An
arms dealer – do I need to say anymore than this...probably not!
Guns,
guns, guns and more guns! Who wants guns? This movie is a lot of Yuri telling
the story of his life, what went on and him trying to justify the morality of
his work…whilst being pursued by Interpol. It’s good though, an enjoyable watch
but a little disturbing at the same time!
Solace (15) – what’s it about? A
psychic teams up with the FBI to catch a serial killer…
I
can’t really say much without spoiling it, but this is an interesting one, if
you like crime and serial killer type stuff then you’ll probably enjoy this,
with the dash of the supernatural thrown in, in the form of psychic powers it gives it a little more bite than your average crime movie.

Elektra (DVD – 12) – what’s it about? Elektra
is an assassin for hire, she chooses to protect her targets from The Hand
rather than kill them…
It’s
a bit of a girly super flick really, it’s alright but a little meh, yeah it
kept me entertained but I found myself a little bored by the storyline and some
of the scenes, just seemed a lot of poncing about really.

Kingdom of Heaven (DVD –
15) –
what’s it about? In the 12th century, Balian travels to Jerusalem and becomes the
cities defender when it’s attacked…
This
one’s obviously about religion if you hadn’t guessed from the name of it, it’s
very cool with its fighting and killing and in depth plot, it’s nice to see a
film with a mixture of story as well as action, this one fills both cups!
The
Visit (15) – what’s it about? Two children go and stay with their grandparents
for a week and things are a little weird…ok I raise that…to crazy.
This
is a horror…supposedly…ok there were a couple of bits that made me jump but
mainly this is funny as hell. It’s all from the kids perspective and them
making a movie and their crazy old grandparents and how they are scary in the
kids eyes.

Everest
(12) – what’s it about? The true story of an expedition to Everest that goes
horribly wrong…
This
movie was interesting, though I’m not sure how much is real and how much is dramatised
being that it’s unknown. Yes I know it is a true account and if it is completely
accurate I am kinda in disbelief how it went down. I understand a lot was out
of their control but seriously I don’t know why anyone would want to climb a
mountain like that. It’s a touching movie, filled with intense moments and some
very sad ones…have your tissues at the ready.

Lara
Croft: Tomb Raider (DVD – 12) – what’s it about? Lara Croft must battle against
villains and get the artefact before them so she can stop their evil plans.
Wow
Lara has an immense wardrobe in this movie…apart from her amount of wardrobe
changes it’s a good movie focusing mainly on her boobs and butt j/k…seriously
though this is a good one, it’s got some good action scenes and moments like
the games which are really cool!
