Cold Pursuit (15) – what’s it about? Nels goes on a revenge killing spree after his son is murdered by a drug lord and his gang.
Well if you like Liam Neeson and all his movies then you will like this one, it’s just again a film in the similar style. It’s filled with revenge, revenge, revenge with lots of killing, oh and a dash of revenge thrown in for good measure. It’s another action style film so you know the drill – it has violence and all that jazz with a bit of a story thrown in for good measure. It does also have a wicked comedy element, it has some bits you probably shouldn’t really be laughing at but you just can’t help yourself, so yep if you have a darker sense of humour then this will also give you a giggle. I don’t think it’s the best Neeson film but it’s still an enjoyable watch and worth seeing, yeah I liked it 😊

Captain
Marvel (12A) – what’s
it about? The origin story of Captain Marvel.
I have to admit I’ve not
really followed Captain Marvel and didn’t really know too much about her,
mainly because I always thought growing up she was just the fem version of
Captain America. Now I’ve seen this I kind of freaking regret not looking into
her a little more, she’s a great character and has a different story that hasn’t
just been his re-hashed. Yep so slap me with a large trout! Anyway onto the
film, it is bloody good, it has some really amusing and nostalgia moments – for
the 90s which are pretty cheesy. I can’t really say anything on the story as I
don’t want to spoil it, but I’ll just say if you love all the Marvel movies
then this is 100% worth checking out…and before End Game!

Instant Family (12A) –
what’s it about? A couple decide to adopt a child but end up fostering three
kids.
So
I hadn’t planned on seeing this as I thought it looked a little meh but someone
said to me it was quite good and I was at a loose end so I thought I’d go check
it out. I totally thought this wouldn’t be up my street as it looked like one
of those comedies I don’t really like, and well I was actually surprised by it.
For starters, yes it has a good handful of comedy moments, but it also has
moments that really hit me in the feels. I’m not sure if I was just extra
emotional that day but I had three or four moments where I had to reach for a
tissue, you know it made me shed a few tears – not like balling crying though…but
I think it’s because you know it’s based on a true story. God damn that’s why I
don’t watch true story shit it’s too emotional. Anyway yeah it was an enjoyable
watch, it’s kind of one of those you watched curled up on the sofa with a
blanket.

Fighting
With My Family (12A) –
what’s it about? The story of the wrestler Paige and her family.
Again this was one I wasn’t
planning to see but it was recommended to me and I was told I’d like it, so I just
went because what the hell something to do. It was pretty damn good, I was
really surprised by it, it had some funny moments and a good story which kept
me entertained. The family were quite an interesting bunch and I have to admit
it rekindled my love for wrestling which I used to watch all the time. Again
this is based on a true story, so some of it is quite heart-warming and it has
some sad moments – it also had some moments where I held my breath. The actors
were really good in it too and they made the family life really believable, it definitely
gave a good emotional journey and one that gave me that feel good feeling at
the end. If you used to watch wrestling or want to watch a good bunch of Brits
and have a giggle along the way, then this is worth watching!

Aliens
in the Attic (DVD – PG) –
what’s it about? A family take a summer holiday and their lodge gets invaded by
a small group of aliens, the kids must save the day and stop the world from being
invaded.
I thought I’d give this a
go for a laugh as I hadn’t seen it before, it’s aimed at a younger audience – I’d
say younger teens downwards really. It’s an ok film with a bit of a story and
some humour with a little action thrown in. It has a bit of sibling rivalry and
hashing stuff together to try to win the day, so it has a few bits that may make
you giggle. It’s basically what would happen if aliens invaded and kids had to
save the day. Its ok to pass the time and probably to keep your wee ones
entertained but I don’t think it’s one of those that all ages will love.
