Suburbicon
(15) – what’s it
about? A family that live in a nice quiet neighbourhood in suburbia who end up
getting robbed.
This was pretty slow. The
story was really obvious and there wasn’t anything that left me wondering. There
just wasn’t anything that really wowed me or kept me intrigued or too
interested. I don’t really know what to say apart from I was pretty bored by it,
for me it just fell flat. I did however like it a tiny bit more after thinking
about it to actually warrant giving it two stars, but still not enough to make
me want to ever watch it again. I bet some people will think it’s brilliant though
but it’s not my cup of tea.

Jumanji:
Welcome To The Jungle (12A) –
what’s it about? A group of teenagers get transported into the video game of
Jumanji where they have to complete their quest to return to the real world.
So I thought this was
going to be pretty bad. I liked the original and I wasn’t sure how they were going
to bring this one back without spoiling it. Of course it wasn’t the same, they
had tried something new with it but it worked, for one movie but I really don’t
think it’d be as amusing if they re-done the same thing again. This actually
gave me some lol moments; I’m not sure if I should have laughed at them but yep
it made me laugh and smile (yes a rare moment for me) so it was must have been good. If you have a silly sense
of humour you’ll probably enjoy this one, just don’t expect it to replace the
original.

Antz
(DVD – PG) – what’s
it about? A worker ant that wants to change his life and trades places with a soldier
ant for a day.
So I haven’t seen this
one for many years and thought I’d re-watch it as I couldn’t really remember
much about it. It was an enjoyable film that is aimed at the whole family. It’s
quite deep though when you think about it with the whole thing about society
structures and stuff but to the kids it’s just another fun cartoon. It does
have some good moments, and it does have some good story too, it’s not just meh
or just for the sake of being. Yeah it’s one to curl up on the sofa with and
just watch and not have to think too much about.
