Man there was a lot of
plastic surgery in this movie lol. Sorry I couldn’t resist that. It’s quite
refreshing that they didn’t just try to do a women’s version of the original
film like Ghostbusters, as in a full remake, it was much better this way with
it paying homage to the previous movie without writing it off. It generally was
a pretty good movie, a nice chick flick that isn’t all romance and all that
lovely dovey crap – I think a woman would appreciate this movie more than a man
though. Well it has got a good story, the characters are alright, and it’s
pretty clever in parts, so yeah it might not be the best movie out there but it’s
still a good watch.

Sicario 2: Day of Soldado
(15) – what’s it about? The drug cartels have upped their game with trafficking
people across the border and the US government tries to tackle the criminal
menace.
I was quite looking
forward to this movie as the previous one was quite intense, and this one didn’t
disappoint on that front. It hit the ground running and got straight into the
story and built up nicely, it wasn’t too slow to start like some movies. It was
filled with gritty violence and by the end I come out a little shell shocked by
it as it’s more real-life violence rather than ‘comic book’ violence. When you think
about it, deep down in your gut you know shady stuff goes on all the time in
the world with gang wars etc, and even though its make-believe you know
somewhere it’s got a dusting of dark reality hidden under its guise so it’s
quite disturbing in some ways.
