I thought I’d give this a
re-watch as I hadn’t seen it in a while and couldn’t fully remember the story.
This is one of those interesting disaster movies as it’s not just like the run
of the mill as it has numerous disaster bits in it but also stuff to do with
the whole mystery that’s got to be solved. It’s kind of graphic in parts though
like ouch so I’d probably say it’s not for anyone that’s too young for the age
rating or anyone who’s really squeamish. The story kept me intrigued throughout
even though I think this is the second or so time that I’ve watched it. I would
say though it would have been better if they cut off the last 5 or so minutes
of the film as it just doesn’t seem to fit, though I think they did it so the
film didn’t end up on a downer. Yeah it’s a good film and worth a watch if you
haven’t seen it.

Last
Christmas (12A) – what’s
it about? Girl meets guy and she falls for him and it changes her whole outlook
on life.
Ok so I really wasn’t
going to see this one as I thought ugh another sappy love story and it’s a Christmas
one to boot so I can’t think of much else worse than this. But a friend of mine
saw it and talked me around to going to watch it, and well I was pleasantly surprised
by it. It definitely had its moments and it was quite amusing throughout and of
course heart-warming, even though I could see the plot coming a mile off. This
is definitely a chick flick, a good blanket and tub of ice cream is calling…and
don’t forget the obligatory box of tissues.

Knives
Out (12A) – what’s it
about? A murder takes place and a Private Investigator is called to solve the
crime.
This is basically like
watching Cluedo or one of those old school murder mysteries, which in this day
and age is quite refreshing to see as it’s not like all the other films out at
the moment. I usually love a good mystery movie or show where you have to try
to figure things out as it goes on, but I did find this a little underwhelming,
it was pretty predicable but at the same time it was a fun watch. If you like a
bit of mystery or want to watch something a little different then I’d get out
your magnify glass and check this one out.

Gremlins
(2019 35th Anniversary) (12A)
– what’s it about? Billy gets given a new pet by his father and he doesn’t
follow the rules so all hell breaks loose.
So the cinema is currently
showing Gremlins which has been remastered for its 35th anniversary
so I thought this could be quite cool to see so I decided to check it out. Now
sadly I was a little young when this was released, so I was really looking
forward to getting to see this on the big screen rather than just the small
one. It was an awesome film back in the day and to see it again brought back a
lot of good memories. They’ve done good work upgrading it but because of its
age it was still a bit dated, that said though it was totally worth seeing it
again!

Hotel
Transylvania (DVD – PG)
– what’s it about? Dracula’s daughter comes of age and she meets a human boy
and falls in love.
I hadn’t see this until
now, and my friends kind of mocked me when the 3rd one come out as
in they thought I would have been all over it being the mopey goth adult, but
nah I missed it in the cinema and never got it until now. I now totally regret
not seeing this sooner, it was freaking awesome, so amusing and well just
general cartoon fun really. It was just a fun story and nicely done, it would definitely
be one that your kids will love (unless they are complete scaredy cats). It was
really nice to see, as the only other spooky cartoon out like this has been The
Addams Family. If you haven’t see it and like things childly spooky then you
should totally check this one out.
