Passengers
(12A) – what’s it
about? A man wakes up prematurely on a space craft and has to figure out how to
survive the ships epic journey.
Considering this movie
is basically a film with just two people in it, its bloody damn good! I think
this happens to be one of my top enjoyed films of 2016. It’s interesting, the
characters and struggles are a true masterpiece, what can I say I don’t think
there was anything about this film I didn’t like. A good space drama!

Collateral
Beauty (12A) – what’s
it about? After the death of his daughter Howard is not in a good place, his
co-workers set in motion a plan which will either remove him from the company
or get him out of his funk.
When you start to think
about this movie it’s a little screwy, and it makes you wonder the intensions
of humanity and how they are out to screw the good guy just because he’s now a
broken man. It’s an interesting story but if not a little predicable really, I’d
guessed the fully story quite a way off but it’s pretty still enjoyable.

Monster Calls (12A) –
what’s it about? Conor befriends a tree-monster whilst trying to cope with his mum’s
terminal illness.
Well talk about
traumatising, I wouldn’t say this is too much of a kid’s film as its pretty
dark and deals with some very sad and emotional situations. That said it’s a good
movie, just don’t be prepared for a happy film, and make sure you have your
tissues at the ready unless you hard as nails you’re going to shed a tear or
two in this one.

Assassin’s
Creed (12A) – what’s
it about? Cal goes into the animus and discovers he’s the descendant of a
master assassin, and he’s faced with choices in the real world that will affect
humanity.
I like the Assassin’s
Creed universe, I love the games even though I’m probably the crappest assassin
in the world but they are fun and I like the way this movie expands on the
concept. I’d been dying to see this one so had my ticket booked for the UK
release date, and I wasn’t disappointed, if I get chance I totally want to see
it again!
Rating: ****
Silence
(15) – what’s it
about? Two priests are sent to Japan to find out what happened to a Father who
was previously sent there.
Ok so what can I say
about this one…the people that left the cinema after 15 minutes had the right
idea! I stuck it out but omg (no pun intended) this was very long and extremely
hard going; I came out the cinema completely mentally drained. I’m sure there
are some people that will love this one but personally it’s not my cup of tea,
and I wouldn’t recommend it.

Iron Man (DVD - 12) – what’s it about? The origin story of how Tony Stark becomes Iron Man.
I thought I’d give this one a re-watch as I don’t think I’ve seen it for years, even though with this one being a little older now the graphics and stuff still hold up pretty well. It’s a good movie that gives a few laughs and a positive vibe, from a time when the Marvel series started to become more popular. It’s worth a watch/re-watch if you’re into your comic book heroes.
