Beauty
and the Beast (2017) (PG)
– what’s it about? A cursed prince must find true love before the petals fall
from a rose and the curse remains for all time.
So a live action version
of the Disney classic…how does it fair? Pretty good actually, it sticks pretty
closely to the original, there’s just been a few bits added which give a little
more to it. It was as expected – extremely girlie but it’s bearable as there’s
not too much that makes you want to vom…but be warned you will come out with
the songs stuck in your head!

Get
Out (15) – what’s it
about? A man goes to meet his girlfriend’s family for the first time and all is
not what it seems.
I didn’t really know
much about this one before I went to see it so it was a little surprising. It’s
like a thriller/horror, a good concept that did leave
me wanting to shout “just get out” in the cinema. I can’t really say much though
without spoiling it, maybe just don’t expect gore or anything of the sort because
it’s more on the thriller side of things.

Noah (DVD – 12) – what’s it about? Humanity has destroyed the world; Noah receives a message from God about the great flood and sets out to build an ark.
So what to say about
this one…hmmm if you hadn’t guessed it by the title then just to make it clear
this is based on the bible story. Even though I’m not religious at all (far
from it being a Pagan) I do like all these newer bible story movies and I don’t
know why. This one is pretty dark in parts, some violence, some story and well some
weird shit, it definitely makes for a good watch.

Snatch (DVD – 18) – what’s it about? Various criminals try to steal a diamond from another thief.

I thought this one
deserved a re-watch as I hadn’t seen it since it originally came out back at
the turn on the century and even though it’s a little old it’s still great and hasn’t
dated too much. Its bit of a comedy but not one for the youngens, a different
take on the criminal underworld – it’s got some random characters and good
situation humour to boot. It’s definitely worth a revisit.
