Ghostbusters
(2016) (12A) – what’s
it about? Ghosts invade Manhattan and a group of scientist’s team up to battle
against the spooks.
Ok so I expected this film
to basically be shite as I don’t think I like any film McCarthy has been in so
much so I basically avoid watching anything she’s in…but this is
Ghostbusters…Ghostbusters so I had to watch it! How annoying was this movie on
the scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most annoying thing in existence and 1 being
not annoying at all, probably about a 7. The characters were all pretty
annoying, the plot was alright…it could have been way better if they had just
made them a new set of Ghostbusters years later and not rebooted the series
completely. Anyway yeah, I have to admit there were a couple of bits in this
that did have me in stitches but I don’t think it has any re-watch factor like
the old ones. I don’t know…it was a balance of good and bad ugh.

Star
Trek: Beyond (12A) –
what’s it about? The crew must survive their encounter with a hostile race on a
distant planet.
Set phasers to stun! pew pew pew. This is the third in the
series of Star Trek reboot movies and I expect by now you’ve probably seen them
and you’ve made up your mind to if you love or hate them. For the haters don’t
bother as I’m pretty sure this movie won’t change your mind on loving it, but for
the lovers as you’ve enjoyed the rest of the movies then I would totally stop
what you are doing and go and watch this asap! I don’t want to give too much
away but let’s just say it continues the story well, has all the good special
effects and action. I think it also gives Star Trek fans a bit more of a
classic Star Trek feel, at points in this movie it was like a flash back to old
school Star Trek and it was goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.

The
BFG (PG) – what’s it
about? Sophie is taken into the world of giants after she sees the BFG; she
learns he’s really a big softie and the pair become friends.
This is an adaptation of
Roald Dahl’s novel, I remember reading this as a kid and loving it so I thought
I’d have to go and see it for memories sake. I think they done this really
well, the characters were spot on, yeah it’s a good take on the story and worth
a look if you like the adventure and fantasy this one brings…oh yeah and there’s
some good humour thrown in too (all I'll say is the corgis lol).

X-Men:
First Class (DVD – 12)
– what’s it about? Set in 1962 Charles Xavier teams up a band of mutants that
are destined to become the X-Men.
I really thought I’d
already done a review of this one so my bad for not. So this movie goes back
and covers the story of the origin of the X-Men and the Brotherhood which begins
the re-boot part of the franchise. I really like the X-Men but I’m not too fond
of movies set in the past (they usually bore me to death); that said though it works well with the X-Men. This
one manages to give a bit of depth to the characters and how they all came
together. Yeah it’s got what you want from an X-Men movie, story, character
stuff, action and well cool ass mutants! *must resist the urge to paint myself blue again, must resist*.
