Ready
or Not (18) – what’s it
about? After marrying into a wealthy family Grace must survive a terrifying
night playing Hide or Seek.
Well I wasn’t sure on this
one, I thought it might be really gross or scary because the age rating. It
wasn’t that gross at all, yeah you see some great violence, but you don’t see
massive close ups of the gore. It wasn’t really a scary film either, there are
a few bits that get the heart pumping but nothing really scary I’d say. I think
I laughed more than anything else with this, which is why I’m giving it four
stars, because it was a pretty fun watch. Yep if you want to watch a bit of
violence and have a laugh this will be the one for you.

The
Goldfinch (15) – what’s
it about? A boy is caught in an attack and this is the story as his life
unfolds after the tragic events.
I really wasn’t quite sure
what this would be about as I hadn’t read the book and from the adverts it
looked like there could be a time travel twist or something in it, I can
whole-heartedly say that this is not about that at all. It is exactly what the
description says it’s about, it’s more of a drama and about the boys life so
you may be disappointed if you’ve gone by the adverts. That said though this is
a pretty good movie with a good story line, it kept me engrossed throughout as
even though it was long it wasn’t dull, that said though it probably could be
about 30 mins shorter than it was. Yeah its pretty good, I can imagine it would
be popular with more a middle aged audience.

How
to Train Your Dragon (DVD – PG) –
what’s it about? Hiccup lives in a Viking village which is plagued by dragons,
and he forms a bond with one.
So I’m sure most people
have seen this by now, and I just thought I would give it a re-watch as I
hadn’t seen it for a little while. It didn’t disappoint me, even watching it
for either the second or third time, it’s just an all-round good movie. It’s
just fun and a nice cartoon, it has it all, a bit of story, a love story,
action, heroics, humour, its basically the full shebang, its one of those I
think most people will like no matter their age. If you haven’t seen this then
I’m really not sure where you have been, maybe living in a Viking village, who
knows. Yep its worth a watch or a re-watch if you liked it.

Looper
(DVD – 15) – what’s it
about? Joe is a Looper – a hired gun from the past, where bounties are sent
back for him to kill, as the gang decides to end his life, he and his future
self must battle to survive.
I saw this quite a few
years back and I thought that I would give it a re-watch as I could remember
the premise of the movie but not the entire story. It’s one of those movies
that features the not so distant future and then on from there, so it shows
both sides of life, so it gives it a little more interest than it being just
set in one timeline. I wouldn’t say this is sci-fi just a little futuristic but
believable at that, it’s one of those that has a storyline but has some good
action to boot. It’s really a typical Bruce Willis type movie, so you know the
type of thing really from all his previous films and if you liked them you’ll
probably like this one too.
