The
Queen’s Corgi (PG) –
what’s it about? Rex the Queen’s top dog goes on an adventure and ends up
getting put in the pound, his mission is to find his way back to the palace.
The first advert I saw of
this I thought it was going to be complete rubbish, the second advert made me
think maybe I’ll go see it and well I’m glad I did. I like a good cartoon
especially those that make me have a giggle. This is a film the young ones will
love but also has a couple of bits adults will find amusing too. Yep if you’d
like to watch something that’s a little light-hearted that’s a little easy
going which is filled with cuteness and humour, then maybe look this one up, but
if you’re not too fussed then may be wait until its available on DVD/TV.

Spiderman:
Far From Home (12A) –
what’s it about? Peter goes on a school trip to Europe where he ends up having
to battle against some villains.
I really love a good
Marvel film so had been looking forward to this one for a while now but also trying
to avoid all the information and spoilers online. After End Game I was hoping
for something that was a little more upbeat and this one didn’t disappoint. Its
filled with your normal Marvel action, story and humour, thankfully this wasn’t
all too sombre even though in points it does touch the heart strings, but
thankfully I was crying with laughter rather than sadness. Yep if you love your
Marvel films be sure to check this one out sooner rather than later. Hey look
spoiler free thoughts right there! But warning the trailer contains spoilers!!

Midsommar
(18) – what’s it about?
A group of uni students go on holiday to visit a remote Swedish settlement
where things take a sinister turn.
I
thought I’d give this a go as from the adverts it looked like it could be
interesting, I had hopes it would be cool with it focusing on some of the Norse
mythology. It started off and I instantly thought this is going to be bad, and
sadly I was bang on right there. I spent more time laughing at how weird this
film was than anything else, it wasn’t scary at all, I wouldn’t even class it as
a horror! It just had some really over the top gross moments in it to try to shock
the audience (people left the cinema after the first gore scene lol). It kind
of reminded me a bit of Hereditary but IMO it just fell flat, I don’t even know
what to say, apart from I was so disappointed with it.

London Has Fallen (DVD – 15) – what’s it about? The sequel to
Olympus Has Fallen, where an attack happens against world leaders at a funeral
in London.
I
decided to re-watch this as I hadn’t seen it in a while. If you don’t know much
about it, then it’s another high-octane action flick which has a little story
thrown in for good measure, don’t expect to be thinking in this one as it’s a
leave your brain at the door film. It’s the usual that something goes bang and
the President needs to be protected at all costs, so don’t expect anything too
original as you know the drill – guns, violence, explosions and the struggle to
survive. If you liked Olympus Has Fallen then it’s definitely a good time to
watch or re-watch this one as the new Angel Has Fallen will shortly be
released!

Ghost
in the Shell (2017) (DVD – 12)
– what’s it about? Robotics has advanced to the point where a human brain can
be transplanted into a robotic body and the government use this new technology
as a weapon.
This is a live action
version of the anime of the same name, I haven’t seen the anime in years so its
hard to recall all the differences, but from what I remember the story
resembles that of the original and there were some of the memorable scenes
played out. It’s a good sci-fi/futuristic film which has a good lot of story
and action in it. I think most sci-fi fans will appreciate it, but some of the
hardcore anime fans may be a bit disappointed as it’s a remake of a beloved film.
I personally liked it and think it’s worth a watch.
