The
Lego Batman Movie (U)
– what’s it about? Batman must learn to play well with others.
This is one of those
films that’s a kid’s movie but is still pretty entertaining for adults too, it’s
got a good mix of humour and action but it also has some deep underline story,
which probably would have just washed over the younger audience. I wasn’t really
expecting that from a Lego movie, yeah it was a good watch to pass the time and
I came away thinking.

The
Great Wall (12A) –
what’s it about? Two mercenaries are in China on the search for black powder
and end up battling creatures.
This is one of those
epic fantasy movies that’s very showy and colourful and unbelievable but I
liked it! After the run of Oscar movies for the last couple of months it was
refreshing to see something fantasy and that isn’t god damn depressing. I
thought this was pretty well done, good actors, an oriental flare though unless
you like fantasy things I can imagine the people coming out would be like that’s
a load of bollocks, but as someone who likes the fantasy world over reality
this is definitely an enjoyable watch.

John
Wick 2 (15) – what’s
it about? John goes after his car and ends up getting sucked back in to the
assassins guild.
This is probably just
what you expect if you watched the first one, continued violence and killing
but just what is needed from this movie, so it’s not a bad thing! It maybe isn’t
as good as the first one but it’s still ruddy enjoyable. I wasn’t sure how they
were going to continue it but it’s done well, it’s just a shame the ending is left
so open and set up for the third movie – it’s like an unending. But yep it’s
still a gooden.

A
Cure for Wellness (18) –
what’s it about? Lots of rich people go to a spa to get well and don’t come back.
So this is billed as a
horror and I think the scariest part of it was seeing lots of really old people
prancing around naked – this is the only reason why it got an 18 certificate! It’s
not really scary at all (and that’s coming from a scaredy cat), they also said
its “a must see” – but in truth it’s alright but something of nothing and
nothing special at all. If you’re at home and you want to watch something slightly
spooky then watch it but I wouldn’t rush to see it at the cinema.

Patriots
Day (15) – what’s it
about? The story based on the true events of the Boston Marathon bombings.
I’m not sure how much is
added to this one to make it a good movie, sometimes you never know with films
based on real life, though that said this felt very much as if it is true to
the life events (well what was heard on the news here anyway). It’s a good
telling of the story and is very much an emotional ride to watch. If you like
movies that are based on true events then this is definitely one you need to
see – just have some tissues at the ready.
